    So far we don't know if this incident was a hate crime.

    No we don't, but that's not what you claimed. You said this.

    Then you tried to compare being attacked for your religion, which happens all the time in this country, to walking to McDonald's.

    Hell, just two years ago a Neo-Nazi shot and killed three Jews in Kansas. It seems too frequently, Trump supporters have a toddler's grasp of even the most recent history.

    The imam wasn't shot because he was walking to or from a mosque. End of story

    That's not what you claimed. You said no one is in danger going to a mosque.

    In 2014, the FBI reported 183 Muslims were victims of hate crimes which was actually an increase from 2013 when there were 167 Muslim victims.

    https://ucr.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/hate-crime/2014/topic-pages/victims_final

    So, you're factually wrong on that one. And it's perfectly reasonable for Muslims to be more fearful of violence with the anti-Muslim rhetoric put forth by Trump and his clown posse. Considering the crime took place in New York, Trump's home town, it's understandable why they would suspect it could be a hate crime. It might not be but it's understandable why people might think so.

    The Istandwithyou "movement" was the result of this incident which wasn't a hate crime.

    remember this photo of a Bengali women carrying a British gentleman was the norm.

    No, it's just the obvious truth, but don't let that get in the way of a good narrative.

    He called me an anti-semite, which I doubt very strongly he would have the balls to do in person.

    No... it's just that without the veil of anonymity, people suddenly become more rational with debates and don't make premature accusations such as 'anti-semite' so readily available.

    For some reason over the internet I've been labeled "terrorist sympathizer" to "American jingoist" but never have been accused of such things in person? I wonder why?

    Seems the cops are thinking the same way...Hitmen. They blend into society. He had such an unassuming job at a school, and if it werent for the cameras and a fortunate(for police) hit and run...He wouldve gotten away. On top of that...they, and the media wouldve kept looking for "some Trump supporter..."
