Regardless;relgion;poltical idealogy ;hate for any ther reason it does not matter. that is why often the motive is investiagted atho it might seem clear. i the end it trigger a response form someone capiable of do such a thing like this. Most people even with same beliefs can not f do such a thing as sit a bomb next to a 8 eyar old or others that have doen nothig to them they can identify.Read the history of the RAF in Germany during the 70;'s for a so called poltical faction that did alot of terrorist attacks.We have seen environmentalist i latter eyars here who spiked trees know the dnager or death it sould cause without humna feelign or knowig the perosns.

Its the left wing press that excuses them and the idiots here that try to spin it anyway they can to let off Islam. If the liberals tell the truth, they don't fear the little old lady on the plane its the Muslim brown skin people that they look twice at, then feel superior about them-self when they are on solid ground. They are frauds and idiots.

So there are Muslims using their religious belief to justify terrorist attacks against innocent civilians. What do you propose?

War? Done.
Targeted assassinations? Done.
Tough anti-terrorism laws? Done.
Beefed-up national security and emphasis on Islamic radicals? Done.

I think pretty much every possible way of preventing and punishing radical Islamists who engage in violence against innocent people is being and has been tried. So what more do you propose? What is this really about? Would a universal declaration that Islam is evil make people happy? Would immigration policies that prevent all Muslims from entering Western democracies do the trick? Would total war against any majority-Muslim country help? Just what is the point of these friggin' posts?

Bad people are doing bad things. It happens everywhere for many reasons. The threats of radical Islam seem to represent a much smaller threat to a country like America than say, gang violence, drunk driving, even the diseases caused by criminal cases of pollution - but with those things, you can't really blame the other. You have to look much closer to home, and people don't like that.

So go ahead, convince yourself that Islam is dangerous, that Muslims are dangerous, that we are all threatened by it somehow. Meanwhile, I'll continue to worry about far more likely, common, prosaic forms of criminality that are a far greater threat to the well-being of our civilization. Like the greed and negligence that has led us to deplete almost all our natural resources and continue to twiddle our thumbs while our society's stability teeters on the edge as the oceans are denuded, forests destroyed, glaciers that help feed billions disappear, groundwater is used up or simply sullied by industry. Go on, blame Islam for all your problems if it helps you take your mind off the far greater threats all of us are facing.

The one in the hospital was out partying and tweeting.
And anything Dzhokhar tells us about his bro will be hearsay.

Putin recognizes the threat Islam is to the globe. We do not. It's about time we bury our ideological differences and work together to stamp out another threat to world peace.

I take it liberals have a way to explain this away too?

News from The Associated Press

Quote:
Two U.S. officials say preliminary evidence from an interrogation suggests the suspects in the Boston Marathon attack were motivated by religion but were apparently not tied to any Islamic terrorist groups.

The two brothers, from southern Russia, practiced Islam.

True, and it has been reported (not in the MSM, which is too politically correct, and can't even use the word "Islamist" anymore) that the Mosque they attended was one of the most radical, and has ties to "influencial" Saudi's.

I think we know what was driving these "two" ... or three, or maybe 12 or more. There is one Saudi that was a "suspect," then became a "person of interest," and now has been quietly dispatched.

We are being lied to by this administration (again). Just like with Benghazi.

This, I have not heard. But that isn't a surprise. A lot of the truth is being supressed.

The liberal media chimes in.


Islam might have had secondary role in Boston Marathon attacks - Metro - The Boston Globe
Right on. Anyone with half a brain can make the connection. But the "liberal" media can't!

It is far too early to be making the assumption that Islam had anything to do with this primarily.
