Imam, Another Man Killed In Double Shooting After Leaving Mosque In Queens
CBS New York ^ | 13 Aug 2016

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — An imam and another man are dead following a double shooting in Queens on Saturday afternoon.

CBS2’s Valerie Castro reported Imam Maulama Akonjee, 55, and a 64-year-old associate from his congregation were each shot in the head while on their way home from a local mosque by a man who came up behind them. The shooting took place near Liberty Avenue and 79th Street in Ozone Park around 2 p.m.

Witnesses said the imam from the Al-Furqan Masjid mosque had just delivered an afternoon service and was walking home with another member of the mosque when both men were gunned down.

The motivation behind the violence is still unclear, but many from the surrounding community who attend the mosque are calling this a hate crime.

“After prayer, he taught us how to live peacefully and how to help each other,” said Nazrul Islam of Ozone Park.

“A family man has been lost and a scholarly imam has been lost and we are devastated and we want … peace,” said Kobir Chowdhury of Ozone Park.

“We feel really insecure and unsafe in a moment like this,” said Millat Uddin of Ozone Park. “It’s really threatening to us, threatening to our future, threatening to our mobility in our neighborhood, and we’re looking for the justice.”

Notice the recent lack of terrorist attacks on Americans?

THAT, takes discipline.

The terrorism industry has discipline. And it seems to work for the Clinton /neocon movement.

This case of reverse psychology says a lot.

If he really did, then his killer was probably a radical jihadi who regarded him as an apostate to True Islam.

You are missing the point. Starting with the Sunday tv political news shows and for the next 7 days, all the talk will be about Trump creating this environment hostile to XXXX.

He will be on the defensive for another 2 weeks, without any concrete information

I think you nailed it bob.

it sure stinks.

No motive can be found. Stray bullets orbiting the Earth decided to loose their velocity and struck the pair and killed them. It’s ruled death by decaying orbit.

I know I’M all broken up about it! /S

There is nothing more hypocritical than a Mulsim screaming “hate crime”! It’s their leaders, perhaps even these two, who are pushing hatred and violence worldwide against all non-believers, especially Christians. I’ve always held all human life dear, but when I see photos and videos of these pigs gleefully sawing off the heads of innocent people, including little children, I can have no sympathy for them. And don’t tell me it’s only the RADICALS. The radicals are merely the ones who have reached the level of insanity to carry out the teachings of men like these.

Since the MSM has blamed Trump what kind of men these two moose limbs are has become irrelevant. In truth they could have been good men but now they are Osamma Bin Laden. Sorry, politics is war now and bad things happen in war.

Make this blow up on them. MUSLIMS GO HOME. I AM TRUMP!

Trump on defensive?

Hasn’t happened yet during the past year, so I imagine it won’t happen this week either.
