GRAND RAPIDS -- The manager at a liquor store where a clerk was shot in the face says the victim was called a terrorist shortly before the suspect fired the gun.

The manager at the store says the suspect came in just before they closed and asked the clerk for money. After giving him cash, she says the clerk was ordered into the back room.
While there, she says, the suspect put a gun into the victim's mouth and told him he was a terrorist. She says he went on to say that the victim was told that he was involved with ISIS. The clerk was shot in the cheek, suffering non-life-threatening injuries.

"His main purpose appeared to be to rob the store," says Sgt. Terry Dixon of the Grand Rapids Police Department. "At that point, he felt the need to hold the victim at gunpoint. Called him an ISIS terrorist and that he used to kill people like him for fun overseas. Then he discharged the weapon. We aren't prepared to say this was a definite hate crime. We still need to find the suspect to determine what his motives are beyond the robbery"

Retaliatory threats and attacks follow terrorist couple’s murder spree, encouraged by bigoted remarks from politicians and pundits.
The murderous rampage by two apparently radicalized Muslims in San Bernardino, Calif., on Dec. 2 has become the latest flashpoint in the massive bonfire of Islamophobia being whipped up by anti-Muslim extremists and their mainstream conservative enablers in the United States.
In the week since the massacre of 14 people by Syed Farook and Tashfeen Malik, Muslims around the country have been confronted with a wildfire of retaliatory threats, vandalism, and attacks – even as politicians and pundits have stoked the flames of bigotry higher.
The ugliness began almost immediately after the shootings with a series of phoned-in and social-media threats, vandalizing attacks on mosques, and arsons of Muslim businesses, in locations all around the United States:
In St. Louis, Mo., a man phoned in a threat to the local offices of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, vowing to kill any Muslims who dared show up on his property. That man is unlikely to be charged with any crime.
In Manassas, Va., the local mosque was similarly threatened with a phoned-in threat from a man claiming to be a member of the extremist Jewish Defense League and vowing that his group “will do to your people what you did to them.” “We are checking now to see if one Jew has been shot or killed in California,” he said. “You all will be sorry. You all will be killed.”
In Palm Beach, Fla., a lone vandal attacked a local Islamic center, breaking windows and wreaking property damage inside. The man who was later arrested for the crime is the son of a well-known local educator.
