Three Muslim students are killed execution style at the University of North Carolina, by a white american Terrorist, the media takes a vow of silence and refuses to report this incident. Only after mass outrage on Twitter and social media has the media started giving any cursory coverage to this incident.

Rest assured had the Shooter been Muslim and the victims non-Muslim their would have been wall to wall coverage, muslims being told to condemn and apologise.

Erdogan exposes the Hypocrisy of Obama. The following article courtesy of Aljazeera

Erdogan chides Obama's silence on Chapel Hill killings
Turkish leader criticises US President for his silence after the killings of three Muslim students in North Carolina.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has criticised US President Barack Obama for his silence after the killings of three young Muslims in North Carolina this week.
Speaking alongside Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto during a state visit to Mexico on Thursday, Erdogan said the silence of Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Secretary of State John Kerry was "telling" and they should take a position following such acts.
"If you stay silent when faced with an incident like this, and don't make a statement, the world will stay silent towards you," Erdogan said, in the latest sign relations between him and the White House have become strained.
The three Muslims were shot dead on Tuesday near the University of North Carolina campus in an incident police said was possibly a hate crime.
Police investigation
The White House said on Wednesday it would await the results of the police investigation before commenting.
Newlywed Deah Barakat, 23, a University of North Carolina dental student, his wife Yusor Mohammad, 21, and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha, 19, a student at North Carolina State University, were gunned down on Tuesday in a condominium about three kilometres from the UNC campus in Chapel Hill.
Police charged the couple's neighbour, Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, with murder.
Investigators said initial findings indicated a dispute over parking prompted the shooting but they were looking into whether Hicks was motivated by hatred towards the victims because they were Muslim.
Turkey, a European Union candidate nation and member of the NATO military alliance, is a key US ally in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).
But Erdogan has become increasingly outspoken about what he sees as rising Islamophobia in the West.
Last year, Erdogan said his relations with Obama had become strained and that he no longer spoke directly with him as he was disappointed by a lack of US action over the war in neighbouring Syria.
Erdogan said he instead spoke with Biden over issues such as Iraq.
Despite working together to combat ISIL, differences have arisen between the US and Turkey over how best to tackle the rebels.
Turkey has been an opponent of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, backing rebels fighting to oust him and allowing the political opposition to organise on Turkish soil.
It long lobbied for international intervention in the war.

The following article by Mashaal Mir of THE INDEPENDENT newspaper exposes the hypocrisy of the western media.

MASHAAL MIR

Friday 13 February 2015
Chapel Hill shooting: Would the media have covered the tragedy if Twitter didn't exist, and what would have happened if the murderer was Muslim?
They might have caught up eventually, but there are still two big 'what ifs' that shame the western media's response

The murder of three young American Muslims in Chapel Hill has spent shockwaves throughout the world, especially among its Muslim community.
The murder of Deah Barakat, Yusor and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha by Craig Hicks has reopened many wounds for American Muslims who already feel targeted. Theyâ€™re upset because nobody really cared about this story until it trended on Twitter, and because of the slow response by the western media and the silence from politicians. But most of all, theyâ€™re upset because they feel Muslim lives do not matter in the West.

If you're unsure about this, and think that the media's response to the shooting was completely legitimate, then let me run through a couple of hypothetical scenarios.

1. What if Twitter didnâ€™t exist?
The question is not â€œifâ€ the mainstream media was covering the story, as they did eventually. The question is: would they have cared to cover it had Twitter not publicly shamed them for their silence?

I work in the media, yet didnâ€™t even hear of the story until I logged on to Twitter to see #ChapelHillShooting trending worldwide. There was tweet after tweet bashing media outlets for ignoring the possibility that it could have been a hate crime.

Three Muslims shot in the head by man who, alongside posts attacking various other religions, had written anti-Muslim and anti-Islam sentiments on social media. Yet for hours there were only two or three news outlets giving the tragedy any attention.

So what if Twitter didnâ€™t exist? What would have happened?

Not much.

Local media would have reported it, as they did. The story would have perhaps, and thatâ€™s a strong perhaps, made it on to a national news bulletin.

But it would have died down quickly and the names of the victims may never have echoed beyond Chapel Hill. And the widely held narrative that â€œonly Muslims kill innocent people over religionâ€ would have continued to march on, completely uncontested by the truth.

2. What if the murderer was a Muslim?
Would the initial response by the western media and politicians been the same if it was a middle-aged Muslim man who fatally shot three non-Muslims execution-style in their own home? A Muslim man who had posted extreme views about atheists and other faiths on his social media, as well as photos of loaded guns?

Absolutely not.

You know it and I know it. Everyone knows it. We'd have CNN and a whole panel of middle-aged men analysing every single aspect of the story with Wolf Blitzer faster than you can say 'ratings'.

A Muslim shooter would mean a demand for condemnation, a demand for discussions on Islam, a demand for Muslims to reform, to assimilate, to take collective responsibility. We may even be graced with a little gathering of politicians.

We would see, as we did following the attacks on Charlie Hebdo, a spike in attacks on mosques and Muslims. Polls would show a higher percentage of the population suspicious, distrusting and with more negative views towards Muslims.

A non-Muslim shooter? Different story.

And this is exactly why we need to have a conversation on the Chapel Hill murders. Muslims are seemingly only worthy of anyoneâ€™s attention when they are the perpetrators of heinous crimes, not victims of it.

There are 1.5bn Muslims in the world, and just like white atheists shouldnâ€™t be forced to apologise now for one maniac, neither should we. But recognising this isn't enough on its own. We also need to change the way we talk about Muslims, because their lives matter just as much as anyone else's, and we must never forget that.

It would only be breaking news when the Muslims commit the crime or if it was a Jewish family that was killed.

And this is what Cj Wereleman of the Middle east Eye news had to say.

Hicks is a white American, so itâ€™s predictable the media hasnâ€™t rushed to label his heinous act as a hate crime or a terrorist attack. In America, the word terror is reserved exclusively for acts of political violence carried out by Muslims. Initially, the media reported the attack has a â€œparking disputeâ€. This is standard US media trope to lessen the white manâ€™s crime and blame the Muslim victim. Put another way, if a Muslim had killed three white people, â€œexecution style,â€ inside their apartment, the media wouldnâ€™t be talking about a â€œparking disputeâ€. - See more at: www.middleeasteye.net/columns/chapel-hill-murders-beast-n...

One of the victims of this Terrorist attack has raised over $320,000 since his death via a charity page he had set up for Syrian refugees in turkey. Allah rewards and multiplies the good deeds of the believers even
after their death. Prior to his death he had managed to raise $2000 his target had been $20,000 the funds were to provide dental treatment to the refugees the victim himself was a dentistry student, but Allah
Subhana Taala had other plans and provided him with funds and a lasting legacy of charity that will bring ajar for years to come Insha'allah. May Allah accept all three victims as Shahids and grant a place in al Firdaus ameen.

Someone should start a thread on terrorism done against Muslims and document it.

Anyway guys were all aware of the media bootlicking double standards, they have to write something so their papers sell and what sells today is propaganda against the muslims, garbage sells Big Time and it's true !!

On a side note lets not get carried away and forget the fallen,

May Allah grant the martyred a place in green birds that fly in the highest levels of paradise and may He grant their families patience, peace and also justice and may He protect the oppressed wherever they may be and whosoever they may be.

Well the condemnation of Obamas hypocrisy from Erdogan and the outrage expressed by Millions of people around the world on twitter and social media, has finally forced Obama to condemn the Killings.

Obama did not want to displease his Zionist friends on Fox news and the rest of the media in general by condemning the Killing of Innocent Muslims.....But I think he realised the damage being done to to his image around the world by his silence was far worse..! The following article is from Electronic Intifada.

Obamaâ€™s tepid, belated condemnation of Chapel Hill murders does little to ease fears
Submitted by Ali Abunimah on Sat, 02/14/2015 - 03:42

Deah Barakat and Yusor Abu-Salha at a May 2014 fundraiser for Palestine. (Razan Abu-Salha/Facebook)
US President Barack Obama finally issued a condemnation and condolences regarding the brutal execution-stye murders of three young American Muslims in their home in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, on Tuesday that caused shock around the world.

Obamaâ€™s statement came after days of mounting anger at his silence, an appeal from the father of two of the victims and a stinging rebuke from Turkeyâ€™s president.

â€œYesterday, the FBI opened an inquiry into the brutal and outrageous murders of Yusor Mohammad Abu-Salha, Deah Shaddy Barakat and Razan Mohammad Abu-Salhaâ€ Obamaâ€™s statement reads. â€œIn addition to the ongoing investigation by local authorities, the FBI is taking steps to determine whether federal laws were violated.â€

Craig Hicks, a 46-year-old neighbor of the victims with a history of gun-toting harassment, violent threats and anti-religious statements, has been charged with first degree murder for the killings.

â€œNo one in the United States of America should ever be targeted because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship,â€ Obama said. â€œMichelle and I offer our condolences to the victimsâ€™ loved ones.â€

With those words Obama indirectly acknowledged the victimsâ€™ families belief that their loved ones had been targeted because they are Muslim, amid a growing and unchecked atmosphere of anti-Muslim incitement by politicians and media.

Obamaâ€™s statement also came after a blaze badly damaged the Quba Islamic Institute in Houston, Texas, early on Friday morning. Houston fire officials suspect arson.

Obamaâ€™s silence

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan strongly condemned the silence of Obama and other top US officials over the Chapel Hill murders.

â€œIf you stay silent when faced with an incident like this and donâ€™t make a statement, the world will stay silent toward you,â€ Erdogan said during a state visit to Mexico on Thursday. â€œI ask Mr. Obama, where are you, Mr. President?â€

It was a question many others were asking, too.

The outrage over Obamaâ€™s long silence was compounded by the White Houseâ€™s initial statement that the president had â€œno specific reactionâ€ to the killings.

This contrasted with his swift condemnation and condolences in other cases of mass, religiously or politically motivated violence. Many people considered it especially important for the president to push back quickly and forcefully against a rising tide of Islamophobia.

But the presidentâ€™s belated statement, which fails to specifically name the hate that incited the murder of three young Muslims, does little to instil confidence that he intends to be any more proactive in fighting against bigotry and racism.

Indeed given that Obama is escalating his drone campaign of killing Muslims, including children such as the Yemeni thirteen-year-old Mohammed Tuaiman, the president appears to be very much part of the problem.

â€œParking disputeâ€

Police claims, echoed by the media, that the killings had been the result of a â€œparking dispute,â€ also fueled consternation and anger.

The father of Yusor, 21, and Razan, 19, had also appealed to Obama to break his silence.

â€œThis is our country. Weâ€™re here to stay. We want to make it safer for all the children of different religions and colors,â€ Dr. Mohammed Abu-Salha, said shortly before the Thursday funeral for the three youths in Chapel Hill which was attended by thousands of people and livestreamed by the local NBC affiliate.

â€œThe president needs to pay attention,â€ Abu-Salha said. â€œThey need to have an elaborate investigation. This is not a parking dispute. These children were executed.â€

Dr. Suzanne Barakat, the elder sister of Deah Barakat, 23, also denounced the way media and officials had downplayed possible hate-related motives for the murders.

â€œI think itâ€™s absolutely insulting, insensitive and outrageous that the first thing they come out and say and issue a statement that this is a parking dispute,â€ Barakat told MSNBC:

Ameen to the Dua..!

The reason for the above posts is that Something unprecedented has taken place in the last few weeks.
Firstly the Most vile anti-muslim propaganda organisation in the world Fox News erroneously allowed a guest to make claims that the city of Birmingham in the U.K. was a muslim only city and was a no-go area for non-muslims . Fox News was forced to make an on air apology after being subjected to ridicule via Twitter and the Hash tag FoxNewsFacts ridiculing them went viral.

Then when the Chappel Hill murders of three muslim students happened,only the local media reported it, both the National, and International Media, organisations such as CNN, BBC, Reuters, ignored this story. What happened is the Hashtags Muslim Lives Matter, and Chappel Hill shootings went viral across the world.
The International media were forced to give coverage, then the media and local authorities try pass the killings as a parking dispute it led to outrage on twitter the authorities have been forced to investigate it as a hate crime.

Then Obama who is usually quick to condemn such acts when they are carried out by Muslims, decided to completely ignore it. His hypocrisy of silence received massive coverage in the Arab and Turkish media he was roundly condemned on twitter. Erdogan made a public reprimand of Obama for the first time in recent Memory a western Leader, was compelled to bow to a reprimand from a leader of a Muslim country Obama Issue a statement that very day.

What is even more unprecedented is that the Cowardly regimes and institutions in the Muslim world who usually compete with each other to bow at the feet of America also joined in and issued condemnations for the shootings in Chappel Hill. The Saudis have condemned the act and labelled it as an act of terrorism and have condemned the growing tide of Islamaphobia in the west, Al Azhar made a a very strongly worded condemnation, The Jordanians have condemned this act and their Ambassador has visited the families of the victims and said they are closely following the Investigation because the two female victims also hold Jordanian passports. The Palestinian authority of Mahmood Abbas have condemned and said they wish to participate in the investigation because all three victims are of Palestinian heritage their have been massive protests in Qatar a country in which you rarely get protests of any kind. All this is fairly unprecedented, the Americans are suddenly on the backfoot they need the co-operation of the Arabs and Turkey in their coalition against Isis so suddenly the Usual arrogant attitude of Obama and his administration has been subdued.

In the wake of a deadly shooting attack atÂ a synagogue in Denmark last week, a group of Norwegian Muslims intendsÂ to hold an anti-violenceÂ demonstrationÂ at an Oslo synagogue this coming weekend by forming a â€œpeace ringâ€ around the building.

One of the event organizers, 17-year-old Hajrad Arshad, explained that the intention wasÂ to make a clear statement that Muslims donâ€™t support anti-Semitism.

â€œWe think that after the terrorist attacks in Copenhagen, it is the perfect time for us Muslims to distance ourselves from the harassment of Jews that is happening,â€ Arshad told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation NRK in an interview cited by The Local News website on Tuesday.

She noted that the group aimed to â€œextinguish the prejudices people have against Jews and against Muslims.â€

The demonstration drew praise from the local Jewish community.

Ervin Kohn, a leader of Osloâ€™s Jewish community, said the synagogue had agreed to allow the event on the condition that at least 30 people turn up to help form a ring around the building, which is located on Bergstien Street in the Norwegian capital.

â€œIâ€™ve said that it only comes to 30, it wonâ€™t be good, it may seem counter-productive,â€ he said. â€œBut if you fill Bergstien, it will be very good.â€

Arshad promoted the initiativeÂ as an event on Facebook, and by Wednesday morning over 630 people had indicated that they would attend.

â€œIslam is about protecting our brothers and sisters, regardless of which religion they belong to,â€ the event page explains. â€œIslam is about rising above hate and never sinking to the same level as the haters. Islam is about defending each other.â€

Another of the activists behind the drive wrote in an English-language comment on the eventâ€™s page that â€œif anyone wants to commit violence in the name of Islam you will have to go through us Muslims first.â€

The unity demonstration comes after a shooting attack Saturday that sawÂ Omar El-Hussein, a 22-year-old Dane ofÂ Palestinian extraction, shoot dead a filmmaker in Copenhagen before killing Dan Uzan, a Jewish man who volunteered as a guard at the cityâ€™s main synagogue.
