AP Edits Fresno Killer to Erase Islam Reference, Implicate God

The Associated Press may want to reconsider the publication of their stylebook if they’re choosing to translate words in stories. Words that matter especially in this climate.

A local ABC affiliate reported on the story and here is what they said:

A gunman who walked through Fresno randomly shooting and killing three men screamed “Allahu Akbar” while being taken into custody, according to authorities.

Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer said 39-year-old Kori Ali Muhammad first opened fire on a passenger inside a PG&E truck in the 300 block of North Van Ness Boulevard at about 10:45 a.m.

Here is how the Associated Press tweeted it:

Fresno police say suspect in triple slaying told them he hates white people, shouted “God is great” before killings. https://t.co/rrSOzfEXaB

Are they serious? Who are they to translate what he actually shouted? In doing that at the very least they should say it was a translation and not the actual words he said.

Here is a screenshot of the tweet just in case they delete it:
