Biden and Harris were so anxious for some confirmation of the Left’s bogus “Islamophobia” narrative that they condemned these murders as hate crimes before any suspect had been located; they wanted people to think an “Islamophobe” was the murderer no matter what the facts turned out to be. Will Biden and Harris now apologize for reinforcing a spurious victimhood narrative? Not on your life.
Hamas-linked CAIR was ready to make hay with these murders as well. But instead of a bonanza for Ibrahim Hooper and co., we get Sunni-Shi’ite jihad in the United States. And neither Biden nor Harris will utter even a whisper about that. Will CAIR come clean and note that Sunni-Shia hatred is responsible for far more violence and murder worldwide than “Islamophobia”? Sure, around the time they name me CAIR’s National Director.
“51-year-old man charged with murdering 2 Muslim men in Albuquerque; additional charges possible, police say,” by Sophie Reardon and Gina Martinez, CBS News, August 9, 2022 (thanks to Elizabeth):
A man has been detained and charged with murdering two Muslim men, Albuquerque police announced Tuesday. Four Muslim men have been killed in the city since November, and authorities believe the suspect may eventually be charged in the other two murders.
Muhammed Syed, 51, was identified as the “primary suspect in the recent murders of Muslim men,” police said Tuesday, and charged with murdering Aftab Hussein on July 26, and Muhammad Afzaal Hussian on Aug. 1. Detectives connected the two cases using bullet casings found at the two scenes.
They are still investigating Syed’s possible involvement in the murders of Naeem Hussain on Aug. 5 and Mohammed Zaher Ahmadi on Nov. 7….
Syed appears to have known his victims, police and the FBI said….
The string of murders has shaken the Muslim community in Albuquerque. Police on Sunday said it was too soon to know if the murders would be classified as hate crimes.
On Saturday, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) announced a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
In a Tuesday statement, CAIR thanked law enforcement for the arrest and wrote that it hopes “the news that this violence has been brought to an end will provide the New Mexico Muslim community some sense of relief and security.”
“Although we are waiting to learn more about these crimes, we are disturbed by early indications that the alleged killer may have been targeting particular members of the Shia community,” the statement read. “If this is true, it is completely unacceptable, and we encourage law enforcement to file any appropriate hate crime charges against the suspect.”
Law enforcement officials have not confirmed any specific motive for the killings.
