The guy in question had a lot of beliefs, I think it would benefit the whole Atheist community to be self reflective in this matter, rather than falling into the trap of saying 'nah nah nah, it couldn't possibly have anything to do with being an Atheist.' We've seen plenty of people (they normally don't last long) come on here to say crazy things about all Muslims who make the claim to be Atheists. Sometimes they are trolls and other times we have to accept that they may be genuine. I'd still note that this sort of stuff is extremely rare for Atheists and most hate crimes against Muslims worldwide are carried out by other Muslims of opposing sects and after that overwhelmingly by Christians. This isn't an excuse for violence and even if the person's Atheism is coincidental, a good moment for reflection.
