Where's the Muslim talk coming from? I read they are originally Chechnyan, but I haven't seen anything about them being Muslim.

Prior to his national Golden Gloves competition in Salt Lake City, photographer Johannes Kirn profiled Tsarnaev in a photo essay entitled “Will Box For Passport,” quoting the young boxer as saying that he is a ”very religious” Muslim, which prevents him from drinking, smoking or removing his shirt around women, and that he cares deeply about the independence of Chechnya from Russia.

“I don’t have a single American friend. I don’t understand them,” Tsarnaev told Kirn.

I've been reading a shit ton of reports on them this morning. So far, it's mainly just more journalist speculating shit so they have something to talk about.

The only thing I've read of any value is that the younger (dead) brother list's his religion as Muslim on a Russian social network, and the older brother said he was Muslim to a school newspaper that interviewed him once.

All the ties to Al Quaida and Muslim extremist talk seems to be internet speculation so far.

And pressure cooker bombs were used by home grown terrorist in the Atlanta summer games bombing, so again, that's not something exclusive to Arabic countries.

This. Nows the time for collecting dots. Lets start connecting dots once we actually, I dont know, gather some factual data. Seems like these kids were raised secular and then converted as teens? When you have your family (uncles, etc) saying you dont deserve to live for this it doesnt sound like they were raised this way.

Muslims...shocking!

So far it is pretty shocking.

I mean, that he apparently had a Christian wife. Was a shia muslim (fyi, sunnis are the al qaeda ones...shias are the folks who welcomed us into Iraq and Afghanistan).

These guys aren't ideologues. As of right now (subject to change), it looks like they were nutcases, like the Columbine kids. They barely lived in Chechnya. They're refugees from Tajikstan (different country, fyi).


Your need to categorize and vilify large swaths of the population is counter-productive and part of the reason why we have so much trouble finding common ground as a country.

There's no such thing as a Vietnamese midget. Don't be a fucking idiot.
