Is the Chapel Hill incident hypocritical of Anti-Thiests?

RE: Is the Chapel Hill incident hypocritical of Anti-Thiests?
I don't know, it might not be the popular opinion but I do think there's some hypocrisy to it.

Whatever way you cut it up, It looks like an unprovoked violent attack on 3 innocent people for no other reason than "because they're Muslim". They weren't terrorists, they were just 3 normal people.

It's no better when an atheist kills someone purely because they are religious, than when a radical Muslim kills for apostasy. It's nearly the same thing to me. It's lowering yourself to the exact same behaviour atheism hates in religion, so we're no better if we let it slide and pretend radical atheism doesn't exist.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable."
