IDK if you could consider armenian white. They are islamists thoughArmenia was the first state to make Christianity a state religion. ~90% of Armenians (in Armenia) is Christian. Less than 1% follows Islam.

[LnGrrrR]

The guy who was killed was supposedly a Muslim. I will try to find the link.

[Winehole23]

The guy who was killed was supposedly a Muslim that's good enough reason to kick all Armenians in the same ditch. carry on.

[BobaFett1]

Dagestan has been a scene of low-level Islamic insurgency, occasional outbreaks of separatism, ethnic tensions and terrorism since the 1990s. According to International Crisis Group, the militant Islamist organization Shariat Jamaat is responsible for much of the violence.[16] Much of the tension is rooted in an internal Islamic conflict between traditional Sufi groups advocating secular government and more recently introduced Salafist teachers preaching the implementation of Sharia law in Dagestan.

[Winehole23]

point is, the man wasn't technically white. . .

so that possibly relates.

Cmon WH, you're better than that. I merely responded that he was supposedly a Muslim in response to your percentages of Armenians that are Islamic, which doesn't even seem to make a difference now since they Chechnyan.

[Winehole23]

beg pardon, but so what if he's Muslim?

[Winehole23]

that's not rhetorical, LNGR. it's about as relevant to the as his nationality.

[Oh, Gee!!]

I think they would be classified as caucasian by race, and Chehcen by ethnicity. and that's about as important as the fact that they wear baseball caps

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Chechnya is in the Caucasus.

[Winehole23]

well, they're not the swarthy mideastern type The NY Post put on page one or you emphasized from CNN's brain dead coverage of the bombing.

not much info about the perps ties to organized terrorism; it might be a lone wolf type thing.

Anyone can google how to make bombs but ieds and the way they set it up is AQI SOP. Not saying it was, but someone taught them rather than them just being wannabes.

you did emphasize it.


I wouldn't have been surprised if they were the swarthy-variety islamist, the pale islamists, or black/white/yellow/brown American. I'm not the one who penned the article hoping they were white American.

[Winehole23]

you couldn't wait to jump to conclusions. it's understandable.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Identification of the two principal suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings as two immigrant Chechen brothers who grew up in and around the heavily Muslim Caucasus region of Russia during a particularly violent period would seem to add a clarifying element to the already astounding events in Boston this week.

Evidence that the older of the two brothers had recently expressed increasingly jihadist thinking on social media sites adds a radical Islamist element to the mix.

But a picture is emerging of two young men who were, mostly, increasingly disaffected with their adopted home. It could be they were searching to assert an identity from the religious and political elements of a rootless and violence-marked upbringing, some terrorism and Central Asia experts say.

At least one relative, an uncle living in the US, told a Boston TV station Friday that the brothers were “losers” who were angry at others who were making it in America. “Anything to do with a religion is a fraud,” the uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told Boston’s Channel 7 News, adding that the brothers had been unable to settle down and get ahead, and were angry about that.

However the young men’s roots in a violent region can’t be dismissed, some experts say.

“Chechnya has a very brutal history. You can just imagine two young Chechen boys growing up [in that violence] and then being dropped in the United States,” says Fiona Hill, an expert in Russia and its regional conflicts at the Brookings Institution in Washington. Noting how that could be “incredibly disorienting,” she adds, “And here they are in their 20s, a classic time for people to search for identity.”

one is a white american.

[spursncowboys]

@SNC: you said they were Armenian and therefore Islamists. the chances of that being true were vanishingly small.
No I said I wasn't sure if Armenians are white. But it is a fact they are muslims. They also have murdered innocent people in a terrorist act which would mean extremists. Therefore I'm going out on a limb to refer to them as islamists.

[Winehole23]

But it is a fact they are muslims.in Armenia the percentage is less than 1%.

[cheguevara]

they are probably as white as Manu Ginobili tbh. They actually look like Manu or any regular Argentine. Should we discriminate against Argentines too??

Medical Examiners Confirm Death of Brown Student Misidentified as Boston Bomber


http://www.alternet.org/files/styles/story_image/public/story_images/suniltripathi_0.jpg

A Brown University student who was mistakenly identified as the Boston Marathon bomber last week was found dead in a Rhode Island river, medical officials confirmed to the Associated Press (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/04/25/boston-bombing-social-media-student-brown-university-reddit/2112309/).
Medical examiners identified Sunil Tripathi, 22, through dental records, but the cause of death has not been determined yet.

Last week, amateur sleuths wrongly identified Sunil as the Bomber Marathon bomber on the social media site Reddit. As the Atlantic’s Alexis Madrigal chronicled, Sunil’s name blew into the mainstream after Greg Hughes, who followed the Tripathi crowd sourcing, tweeted that he had heard the Brown student’s name on the Boston Police scanner. (Hughes’ Twitter account @ghughesca, has since been deactivated).

Soon, a Facebook group set up to find Sunil became bombarded with hateful messages, forcing his family to take the page down. As AP notes (http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/04/25/boston-bombing-social-media-student-brown-university-reddit/2112309/), Sunil’s name briefly surfaced onto Twitter’s top trends’ list.

"The last eighteen hours have generated tremendous and painful attention -- on social media platforms Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, as well as from television media inquiries -- linking Sunil to the video stills released by the FBI yesterday afternoon," the Tripathi family said in a statement last week.
