Progressive US Atheist Kills Muslims

Progressive Atheist Kills 3 Muslim Students, Media Ignores

Three Muslim students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill were tragically murdered by a crazed progressive atheist, and the mainstream media is ignoring that fact.

The victims, Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23, his wife, Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, were shot and killed by Craig Stephen Hicks, 46.

The New York Times reported on the murders and mentioned Hicks’ atheism, but not his politics. CNN did the same, as did The Washington Post.

Yet even a passive look at his Facebook page would reveal Hicks is not only a rabid atheist, but a passionate progressive.

A review of the Facebook page of the man charged in these murders, Craig Hicks, shows a consistent themes of anti-religion and progressive causes. Included in his many Facebook “likes” are the Huffington Post, Rachel Maddow, the Southern Poverty Law Center, Freedom from Religion Foundation, Bill Nye “The Science Guy,” Neil deGrasse Tyson, Gay Marriage groups, and a host of anti-conservative/tea party pages.
Even his atheism, which is beyond dispute, is being dismissed by some in an attempt to blame Christians.

(continued, a real atheist kills millions like Stalin...this was a act of agnosticism?) :nono:

Parking dispute, apparently...

Guns are the issue here, not religion or politics...

The issue is fuckers who park in your space.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.

From the language used in the report, I'm guessing the Daily Caller is rather conservative:

Passionate progressive? Ye Gods, that's even worse than being an atheist!

And what's the evidence for this?

Riiiight. This makes you a "rabid atheist" and "passionate progressive" does it? You've got to love the threshold these people set for such terms. :banghead:

Oh, and it is very conservative:

Good point, but I hope you'll forgive me for not noticing that. :lol:

He is the sole inhabitant of my ignore list, so I wouldn't know unless someone else quotes him in their post.

The murders were not reported, huh? Google returned 85,000 results when I typed in these search words: Craig Stephen Hicks murder. The sites that popped up included The New York Times, CNN and Reuters.

As for atheism, someone did a ten minute search on parking disputes and found six that involved firearms, three of which had fatal outcomes, all in the USA and all in the past four years. No mention of religion in any of those reports. Strange that, huh?

On the other hand I've read comments made by atheists along the lines of "Hicks is just one of very few bad apples among atheists", and they are the atheists who say "Muslims are like that" whenever they comment on Islamic terrorist acts.

And what does that have to do with the accuracy of its reports? You're just pandering the old ad hominem tu quoque fallacy again.

I think the only thing that has anything to do with the accuracy of the dc is the reckoning of time through the same point twice a day.

We can define Hicks by his atheism just as we can define him by his job. Personally, in this matter I would define him by actions: murderer; criminal
