MSNBC's Chris Hayes shared his thoughts about the murder of three Muslim students on his show All In last night. Highlighting their minority status, Hayes called their deaths a "galvanizing ""Trayvon Martin" and "Michael Brown moment" for Muslim-Americans.

[I]t feels to me, as someone observing this, admittedly from the outside, like a galvanizing moment for Muslim-Americans, a Trayvon Martin moment. A Michael Brown moment for Muslim-Americans, though very different in the context and specific sets of facts, and history.

Hayes went on to say,

T]he senseless deaths of these three young people has struck such a profound nerve and mobilize so many because millions of people who look like those victims are fed up with the routine stereotyping, the marginalization in mainstream media representations and the vilification by political leaders seeking to score cheap political points.

And then Hayes closed his rant by saying, even if it the alleged murderer, Craig Hicks didn't target these Muslim-Americans, "it takes place in a context where subtle, persistent, anti-Muslim bias is part of American life and this feels like a wake up call."

Hayes did not spend much time talking about how Greg Hicks was a political liberal fan of Rachel Maddow.
