You know what surprises me about the Chapel Hill shooting?

Apparently the whackjob hated all religion with the white-hot intensity of ten thousand suns. Yet in a place filled with Christians, he took his anger out on three Muslims. More socially acceptable, I guess.

When I chimed in with this on FB, I was informed that there is a segment of atheists that hates Islam more than other organized religions.

Impeccable logic. There is a segment of Christians that hate Islam over all others, so why not this hateful man? Fred Sanders Feb 2015 #3

In many ways, their pleas for acceptance and tolerence are really calls for subordination by nonbelievers.

Christianity in Uganda and Russia. Judaism on the West Bank. Even Buddhism, in Please Don't Call It Myanmar.

Muslim killers in the ME, don't really get caught.

So this nut, decided to carry out his own justice on Muslim killers, by proxy.

Being an atheist does not, in and of itself, make one sane.

Islam has been getting bad press, frustrations with parking, and his religion hatred may all be contributing factors.

Deah Barakat and his wife of one month moved into the precious bachelor pad of Deah, just before Christmas.

Hicks had never hararassed Deah, the dental school student, before, but when his bride moved in and then wedding well wishers appeared, many in Muslim garb, Hicks focuses his anger and hate and bigotry on all of them. Mainly or only them.

And killed three.... Muslims.

Do the math.
