Klingenschmitt: Murder Of North Carolina Muslim Students Was An Anti-Christian Hate Crime

Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Tuesday, 3/3/2015 11:41 am

Last month, three young Muslims students were murdered in an apartment in North Carolina, in a crime allegedly stemming from a long-simmering dispute over parking. The man accused of committing the murders was reportedly an atheist who frequently posted anti-religious messages on his Facebook page. Among the things he had posted on his Facebook page was an image asserting that despite their opposition to one another, "radical Christians" and "radical Muslims" actually hold similar ideological positions on a wide array of issues ... and because of that, Colorado state representative Gordon Klingenschmitt is convinced that these three Muslims were really killed "because they were like Christians." Taking the Religious Right's persecution complex to its absurd conclusion, Klingenschmitt cited this particular Facebook post on his "Pray In Jesus Name" program today as proof that this "radical left-wing atheist who is going around killing people of faith ... killed these Muslims because they think like Christians":

The killing of those three students made Muslims human after the right had worked so hard to dehumanize them and smear them all as terrorists. And, those killings took the light off of the poor, persecuted Christian whine that has been going on for the past few years. At the same time, nonbelievers have been trying to claim place in the public discourse. He is really threatened by all of this. He's having a hard time because he needs to chose between the hated terraist Muslims and the godless fellow citizen. It must have given this ill-informed goober a splitting headache coming up with that swill.
