THIS is why I absolutely hate it when they call those Boston Bombers "Islamic Terrorists". I mean yes, it is the truth, they're Muslim. But nobody gives a flying -blam!- to quite honest. What if every time we caught a man of African ethnicity breaking the law we call him a Black Robber, Black Murderer, etc. Oh wait we used to do that, now there is a damn stigma stereotyping blacks as criminals. We did this to the Japanese when we put them in internment camps. And I fear due to media sensationalism, the same thing is probably going to happen to the Muslims.
But I never, EVER see articles like the one above on the televised news. I'm sick of America doing this to only the Muslims. Why do we always deem every white mass murderer as "Mentally Ill" but every Muslim a terrorist? When talking about the dead older brother in the Boston bombing all the reporters ask from his Uncle is about his damned religion instead of his mental health.
The older brother was described to be a successful person, wealthy, good family, and actually not even that devout of a Muslim. And out NOWHERE some dude brainwashed him? How about maybe he was forced to do this? Even his younger brother seemed successful, scholarships, good friends, on his way to college. Out of nowhere he's a bomber?! Nobody ever gets brainwashed.

[/quote]that's because Muslims have been 'the enemy' since 9/11 and people want to keep it that way so it's easier to kill them in the Middle East.

i have the strangest feeling that the attack in the link will be investigated for maybe a day then thrown aside where if the situation was reversed they would hunt for days.

Edited by sims3k: 4/21/2013 4:08:57 AMYeh i really dont see any motive here. And i dont wanna be that guy, but why the hell would two people in hiding, gun down an officer in their car and then steal another car all the while telling their victims theyre the boston bombers. My info may be out of date though, im not really keeping track of whats happening.
