KILLING OF IMAM, ASSISTANT IN NEW YORK

Residents blame Trump for stoking Islamophobia

Independent.co.uk
People outraged at the shooting dead of an iman and his assistant are blaming antiMuslim hatred spurred on by Donald Trump.
The men were shot in the back of the head as they walked home from Saturday afternoon prayers in Islamic dress, according to police.
No motive for the killings has yet been established by investigators, but worshippers and community members in Queens said the killings were hate crimes.
"That's not what America is about," Khairul Islam, 33, told New York Daily News. "We blame Donald Trump for this... Trump and his drama has created Islamophobia."
More than 100 people joined a protest on Saturday night outside the mosque where they chanted: "We want Justice."
Mosque leader, Malama Akonjee, 55, a married father of seven from Bangladesh, was pronounced dead at the scene, one block away from the mosque. Thura Uddin, 65, also from Bangaldesh, was rushed to Jamaica Hospital but later died.
A leader of another mosque in the area, Kobir Chowdhury, said religious intoler-
ance was to blame for the attack. “Read my lips: this is a hate crime. We are peace loving", he said at a news conference.
But police yesterday morning had not yet determined the motive for the attack. City Hall issued a statement: "While it is too early to tell what led to these murders, it is certain that the NYPD will stop at nothing to ensure justice is served."
Police were still hunting for the man who shot the pair dead shortly before 2pm the previous day. Witnesses described a tall Hispanic gunman, who was wearing a dark blue shirt and shorts.
Trump has made multiple anti-Muslim statements while running for office. In December, he said he supported a blanket ban on Muslims entering the US. Despite claims from Trump's campaign he has changed his position on the issue, Trump has not publicly disavowed the proposal.
A report by Georgetown University in May found that hate violence has spiked in the US, in accordance with the US Presidential election.
After the Trump called for shutting down mosques in the wake of the Paris terrorist attacks and the San Bernardino mass killings, anti-Muslim crimes initially tripled. Almost half the attacks targeted mosques.
