JACKSONVILLE, FL, February 11, 2015: Triple Shooting in Chapel Hill, NC.

UDiON Foundation (UDiON), an organization “Dedicated to Educate”, expresses its outrage about the Triple Shooting in Summerwalk Circle, Chapel Hill, NC.

On Tuesday, February 10th, Senseless and tragic act of terror by Craig Stephen Hicks (46) took three lives (Deah Shaddy Barakat (23), his wife, Yusor Mohammad (21), and her sister, Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha (19)), Victims were shot in the head. “Our heartfelt condolences go to the families and loved ones of the victims and to the local community for this senseless and tragic act of terror. May they RIP”.

Craig Stephen Hicks, has been charged with first-degree murder. The three victims were Muslim, and Hicks is not, according to posts about atheism on his Facebook page. In thousands of posts on social media, many have now questioned whether the victims’ Islamic faith was a factor in the shooting.

“Anti-religion statements of the alleged perpetrator, the religious attire of two of the victims and the rising anti-Muslim rhetoric in America, we urge all law enforcement authorities to quickly address speculation of a possible bias motive in this case,” Said Radwan Chowdhury, CEO of UDiON Foundation.

In a separate statement Mr. Chowdhury said “No one has the right to insult, provoke or make fun about other people faith, every religion has its own dignity”, freedom of expression or freedom of religion has its limits. “Religion is a personal belief – not a state affair and a tool of injustice that humiliate human beings”!
