Re: North Carolina man charged in shooting death of 3 Muslim students
You say that right now, but reality suggests you're wrong. Right after the Anders Breivik shooting in Norway, people were jumping to "it was a Muslim." It was the same issue when the Malaysian flight disappeared, and people realized Malaysia is largely Islamic. People in the United States say things like, "not all Muslims are terrorists, but all terrorists are Muslims," so you can't tell me that society never makes completely unfair assumptions about Muslims... :roll:
That's a you problem for thinking that. If he happened to be Muslim and shot three people, he'd just be bat**** insane. However if he was yelling "FOR ALLAH" while gunning down people, then it's different. Context, it's REALLY important.
