What usually does?  They play to their audience, not report the news in an unbiased way.

It must be odd for Americans for all your news channels to constantly tell you "these people are the enemy" and then have to be nice to them when you meet them in the street because "religious hate crimes". It doesn't help that when you do try to get to know them they are incredibly boring. Their whole life revolves around God. They seem to have very little else to talk about.  :-\

I didn't bother reading those articles, but I did read one where it said the motive was a parking dispute. I don't see why them being Muslim has anything to do with this.

It seems odd that someone would execute 3 people over a parking dispute, then it gets weird when it turns out his Facebook feed is dominated by anti-theist sentiment. Even if it were anti-religiously motivated, there is no jump to a specific Muslim bias.

Not really, there are a lot of crazy people with anger problems in the world.

I would also say that it's odd that you don't think parking related executions are odd. Come to Canada, enjoy the difference :)

Have you ever been to America? It's brutal over here. I once saw some guy murdered in a McDonald's over a dispute about cutting the line at the register.

People kill people just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time. This isn't exclusive to the US.

You haven't heard? Mindless violence is a US thing. Other more civilized nations don't have it.

It's probably partially a function of the immense population of the U.S. but it does appear weird killings like this happen much more there than in Canada. Seriously, Canada rules.

Hoopy's right.  It was a Burger King, not a McDonald's.

Because he was white and not muslim. 

Do you recall the murder in Oklahoma not too long ago, where an African-American Muslim beheaded a white non-Muslim co-worker?  Where were the cries of racial/religious hate with that one?

Anti-theism is to blame.


On second thought I actually believe this to be a covert CIA hit job. It shares all the common hallmarks, complete with patsy.
