The left wing press keeps trying to spin this by asking questions like what motive could they have had, is it the hard life they grew up in a war torn country bla bla bla. How does not know that its obvious they are attacking the USA over religion. Muslims feel attacked by the USA over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its why OBL attacked, The war in Iraq and a military presence in Saudi Arabia.

Its not hard to see its the same crap that the Fort Hood shooter attacked over. Yelling allahu akbar. Now the left wing press is trying desperately to spin it as anything but. This is because they want to have an inclusive view of Islam. "Its really a peaceable religion. No its Fing not. Its anything but that. The left wants to be tolerant of every one and every thing but the gun culture, Christian religion and White males.

All we know is that these hooligans terrorized a city and that one of these hooligans had a strong to moderate connection to a certain religion.


That's all we know.

I'm a bit curious to know more about the situation with the oldest brother's wife...allegedly, he was married and has a 3-year-old daughter. They were not residing with him for some time, I'd heard, and her parents have stated that they knew little about him. The wife is American, from Rhode Island, and allegedly converted to Islam and wears burkas and Muslim garb. If she left him, what was the reason? Did she know they were planning this?

Default Islam might have had secondary role in Boston attacks

Might. Maybe. A wee little bit. Secondary.

The liberal media chimes in.

How is this the liberal media? It could be true.

Is it that to believe that the boys may not have grown up very religious? Just look at this family in the media. Neither the mother nor aunt wore hijab, for example. Some Muslims, like Christians, pick up their religion at certain times are year and that's basically all.

The most likely scenario, especially as it pertains to the younger brother, is that he's just been using religion as a rationalization for his behavior. Nothing could be more American: Paying nothing more than lip service to what one claims is their religion, cherry-picking the bits that excuse what you want to do and ignoring the aspects that would argue against what you want to do. That's actually the general case in our society, a reflection of the inadequacy of those archaic religions that so many Americans still claim association of as much as a reflection of the self-serving nature of the rhetoric itself.

I've been hearing that the older brother turned radical and they want to know who influenced him.

Actually, the mother started wearing the hijab and spewing conspiracy theories. This article gives a good idea of what the family life was.
