Regular guys don't kill people with bombs. just sayin....
again, what point am I ignoring?
So, you think these brothers are the type of "lone wolf" "white Americans" that the author of the Salon piece was hoping for?
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.
Nice try
and...I mean cool facts, but what does that have to do with these guys?
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.
What about religion?
@SNC: you said they were Armenian and therefore Islamists. the chances of that being true were vanishingly small.
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.
you ran with John King's unsourced -- and ultimately incorrect -- innuendo as a retort to the Salon article.
nice work.
you couldn't wait to jump to conclusions. it's understandable.
MASIdentification 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 iden y 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 Ins ution 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 iden y.”
one is a white american.
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.
in Armenia the percentage is less than 1%.But it is a fact they are muslims.
they are probably as white as Manu Ginobili tbh. They actually look like Manu or any regular Argentine. Should we discriminate against Argentines too??
i don't know what they're so mad about. probably no problem getting 93 octane.
