    That's just a case of "never let a tragedy go to waste", I'm sure they don't really think Trump is to blame for this random act of violence but if they can push an agenda they are going to.

    No bud, ISIS, Orlando, San Bernardino, Paris, Nice, Brussels, beheading, riots, and rapes have created "Islamophobia".

    If there is a hell, I'm sure satan has a special place reserved for you my friend. If you're still trolling, I feel just as bad considering you don't have much of a life you could be devoting this time to...

    How many "dark skinned" Trump supporters do you know? If there was pretty much any chance of it being a situation like that then the cops wouldn't have already stated that this wasn't a hate crime. The only reason Trump is even mentioned is because some people want to salvage a bit of propaganda out of a completely unrelated tragedy.

    Trump is a total POS, but when r****ds say BS like this, they are being every bit as bad as he is.

    Nobody deserves to be murdered like this. I hope they find the killer and bring him to justice.

    I mean this is essentially the goal of groups like ISIS whose stated goal is a clash of civilizations

    This act is the goal of a group like ISIS. Take actions that inflames people that in turn leads to counter acts that in turn inflames Muslims that in turn leads to another vengence type attack that in turns inflames people and so on and so forth.

    People need to find ways to work together instead of attacking and blaming an entire group. ISIS conducts a terrorist attack - blame all Muslims. Now you can be sure that this will be blown up to be used as a demonstration that the West hates Muslims.

    Cycle cycle.

    Death of a NYC Imam...and instantly...

    Murder of Imam = Islamophobia
    Islamophobia = Created by Trump
    Murder of Imam = By Trump

    #Logic.

    Hope they catch the POS that killed these men. RIP. But quit trying to make this circular logic tie into whatever political agenda yall have.

    So in a rational sense, if you are a Muslim in the area and this was a murder motivated because they were mUslim, wouldn't amMuslimcbe ratinally irked and covered about their well being? Or are they being political?

    I suspect he might be happy this happened. I bet a lot of people see this as some sort of justice as they group all Muslims together who follow that "hateful" ideology.

    I actually agree. Their goal is to make incidents unrelated to race or religion somehow work as propaganda in their favor and people line up as fast as possible to help sell that false narrative. By helping them create propaganda out of unrelated incidents, those who push this as "Islamophobia" or push the narrative that this is Donald Trump's fault, they are doing their part to help ISIS recruiting which leads to more terrorist attacks.

    Cycle cycle indeed.

    Is there a rational possibility in your world paradigm that a Muslim might be a victim of hate due to current tensions?

    Is that like out of the relm of possibility for you?

    That's actually not their goal. They've been pretty blunt and open about their goal. But nice try, I guess? :confused:

    If you are talking about me...
    go F.CK yourself...
    If not, please disregard the spoiler...

    Some of my best friends are Muslim. I was born in and grew up in a Muslim country. To even suggest that I or anyone else is rooting for a backlash against those who practice Islam...

    Here in Houston, people were quick to blame "Islamophobist..." as the reason for the fire, but turned out it was someone who attended that Mosque regularly...

    Rejoicing at the death of innocent people is not something ANY should rejoice. Unless of course you are subhuman...

    Most murders are committed by people you know...I'd start there first. Rarely is it random. While there is a possibility that it could be a hate crime...to suggest that Trump is responsible is frankly irresponsible of the patrons of that mosque.

    Anyone want to answer WHY only the Imam and his assistant alone were targeted, and NOT a mass attack during a time of prayer by the parishioners? A deranged individual looks to cause MASS causalities when their goal is "hate." These attacks were very specific.

    I agree that it's rational to wait for all information to come forth before making an assumption regarding motive.

    However, IF we later find out that this was a targeted hate crime I have no problem with stating that Trump at the very least is a rallying point for these type of people. I don't think anyone here would state that he CREATED the hatred towards Muslim but out of all the candidates for president he is the candidate that more than likely for them.

    Also, IF this attack was anti Muslim hate related and since this occurred in the NYC metro area, it is completely reasonable for a die hard Trump supporter in the region to believe in every word that Trump states such as 'thousands upon thousands' of Muslims celebrating 9/11 in Jersey City thus believing that most Muslims in the area are terrorists lovers.
