Obama Refuses To Blame Radical Atheism For Chapel Hill Murders

Three days after 46-year-old Craig Stephen Hicks shot and killed three University of North Carolina students, President Obama has finally weighed in on this act of terror. The White House released the following statement Friday afternoon, notable for what it does not say (via email from The White House):

Yesterday, the FBI opened an inquiry into the brutal and outrageous murders of Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, Deah Shaddy Barakat, and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In addition to the ongoing investigation by local authorities, the FBI is taking steps to determine whether federal laws were violated. No one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship. Michelle and I offer our condolences to the victims’ loved ones. As we saw with the overwhelming presence at the funeral of these young Americans, we are all one American family. Whenever anyone is taken from us before their time, we remember how they lived their lives – and the words of one of the victims should inspire the way we live ours.

“Growing up in America has been such a blessing,” Yusor said recently. “It doesn’t matter where you come from. There’s so many different people from so many different places, of different backgrounds and religions – but here, we’re all one.”

As per usual, President Selfie-Stick is refusing to call this act of terror an act of terror, and failing to identify the real enemy as radical atheism. What’s different this time is that no one is demanding that he do so. When the perpetrators of violent acts are Muslims…READ MORE

      If you drill down into the NRA’s statistics about criminal gun usage, you find what you mention.

      The vast vast majority of gun owners are law abiding citizens… until they are not!

      As a non-gun owner, I see this “good guys with guns killing bad guys with guns” as a civil war in the gun owning community that might kill me in the crossfire.

    How F-ed up do ya have to be to kill 3 people over a parking space?
    Anyone this unstable should never been allowed to posses a firearm in the first place.
    I also strongly suspect there was racial and ethnic hatred at play as well.

      Could be. At this point we can’t rule it out. We just need to sit tight and let all the facts come out before coming to any conclusions that fit our own preconceived ideas and biases.
      Could be that race, faith and ethnic background had nothing to do with it. We just don’t know. At this point, people were ready to lynch the teachers at the McMartin Preschool and at this point lots of people were certain the Duke lacrosse team players had gang-raped a stripper.
      We just don’t know yet, and may never know the motivation….

    Atheist supremacists give me the creeps.

    I’m from the Russian Mennonite church tradition and our people were ruthlessly slaughtered and cruelly imprisoned by atheists in an effort to create an atheist state.

    But many atheists I meet on the Internet deny this dark part of their history. They still believe that the world would be better without religious people like me in it. This eliminationist mentality is creepy.

    But, this doesn’t make me assume that every atheist killer is motivated by atheism. Some are just angry screwed up people.
