My heart goes out to the victims of the attack, the families of the victims, those who have been affected and I hope that the necessary justice is brought to the killers who deserve it the most. I am mortified.

I'll post it verbatim for you:
Two more Proud Boys plead guilty in Upper East Side brawl

Two more members of an alt-right organization copped to charges Friday stemming from their street brawl with demonstrators outside the tony Metropolitan Republican Club in October.

David Jacob and Irvin Antillon will each have to do five days of community service after taking deals offered by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

Jacob, 29, admitted to disorderly conduct while Antillon, 42, copped to riot and attempted assault for their roles in a violent street skirmish outside the GOP club on E. 83rd St. on Oct. 12.

A number of Proud Boys, in the area for a speech at the club by their founder Gavin McInnes, went after Antifa participants who were protesting the event.

Earlier this month, Jake Freijo, 27, and Eryk Kaczynski, 22, also took deals in exchange for community service.

Charges are still pending against six alleged Proud Boys participants busted in the bare-knuckled beat downs.

Ten members were indicted in connection to the incident.

About 50 people attended McInnes’ speech — and about 80 people protested it outside. Several members of both the Proud Boys and Antifa ended up under arrest after weeks of investigation by the police.

McInnes, a co-founder of Vice media, established the Proud Boys during the 2016 election. He called the group a “western chauvinist” organization, and said it had an “anti-white guilt” agenda.

He resigned as the group’s chairman in November.

McInnes in February sued the Southern Poverty Law Center over its designation of the Proud Boys as a hate group. Instead, he told reporters at the time, the Proud Boys are “basically a pro-Trump drinking club.”

Unfortunately, it looks like it was "Muslims" that were behind it in this instance. I thought it may perhaps have been more extremist Hindus that may have done this, but it appears all evidence is pointing towards the contrary.

It still was a liberation movement that bombed churches and had some Muslim adherents.

Well, this is tragic. Hundreds of people gathered in church in prayers and service; only to be met with bullets and explosions...

But the most important thing is that those attacks must not be used as an excuse for further violence and death. Incitement to violence and hell only makes the matter worse.

Yes, but that does not change the fact that they still are known for literally hating almost all other races.

Lets get back on topic though, I really dont want to end up having to defend myself for being muslim.

There are many such cases that have happened. It happens even in Turkey (like in Batman etc cities). I don't see why you are denying all this, but lets get back on the topic.
