How many lone wolves make a pack?

From Howie Carr at Boston Herald:

' Needless to say, nobody knew from nothing that their pal was a bomber, even though he’d been bragging to them about his bomb-making prowess. What could they possibly know about infernal devices? Well, they understood enough to get the Vaseline the hell out of Junior Terrorist’s dorm room.

And that’s another thing. After they got back to their apartment in New Bedford, the Borats and their faithful Cantabrigian companion “freaked out” when they saw their comrade on CNN.

Yet they again neglected to call 911. Instead, they return to UMass Dartmouth to scrub the incriminating evidence out of Junior’s room.

OK, so these guys weren’t the brightest bulbs. One of them actually flunked out of UMass Dartmouth. Who knew that was even possible?'

‘Misha’ Speaks: An Interview with the Alleged Boston Bomber’s ‘Svengali’

 From the New York Review of Books. Who knew they do investigative journalism?

'It started in 2009. And it started right there, in Cambridge,” Tamerlan’s uncle, Ruslan Tsarni, told CNN after the attacks. “This person just took his brain. He just brainwashed him completely.” These accusations set off a frenzied search for what some reports have called an Islamic Svengali, and over the past few days, the FBI has said it has located and has been talking to “Misha,” though his identity has remained unknown.

Today I was able to meet “Misha,” whose real name is Mikhail Allakhverdov. '

Oh, OK.

'Boston Bomber’s ‘Svengali’

Obama sat in the pews of a church pastored by a hate-mongering, anti-american, racialist bigot for 20 years, and all the MSM chimed in that there was nothing to see; no connection; didn't mean a thing.

And now, we're supposed to swallow this horsesh!t about some guy named 'misha?'

Obamanation Rumination

The Hatred in the Heart of White America

That wording is a bit stilted, but stick with it, as it's not what you first might think.

 By Mona Charen:

'We Americans are not confused about the morality of what happened in Birmingham that September morning in 1963, nor during the Jim Crow era in America generally. We do not hesitate to condemn utterly the behavior and the beliefs of the Ku Klux Klan (the perpetrators of this bombing and others) and their white supremacist fellow travelers. We do not worry that reviling white supremacists and their grotesque deeds will somehow taint all white people.

But when it comes to other groups and other motives for the same kind of terrorism -- we lose our moral focus. Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Kathy Boudin have become honored members of the faculties at leading universities. Ayers is even the friend of the president of the United States. Regarding his own record of setting bombs that kill and dismember innocent people, Ayers told The New York Times on the ironic date of Sept. 11, 2001 that "I feel we didn't do enough ... (there's) a certain eloquence to bombs, a poetry and a pattern from a safe distance." So says a retired "distinguished professor" at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Today, American liberals are obsessed not with terrorism but with the color and ethnicity of terrorists. They can readily enough attribute violent tendencies to groups they dislike -- the tea party, for example, which hasn't committed so much as a littering offense. But when it comes to Islamic terrorism, their voices falter...'

An excellent read that highlights exactly what our counter-terrorism measures should focus upon - the ideology motivating certain people who commit heinous acts of terror, and not simply the tactic itself.

Confessed Boston Terrorist Intended to Bomb Times Square

 Of course he did. Right after lil bro ditched classes at UMass-Dartmouth, and scored some fine road trip choom, they were going to jump into big (now dead) brother's Mercedes sedan, pay a fortune in gasoline, then kill more infidels in the Big Apple with crock pot EIDs, and probably catch an international flight back to Chechnya.  Because everybody can afford to do that on a welfare check.

Total lone wolves. Nothing to see. Move along, citizens.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev got Massachusetts Welfare Benefits

So says Massachusetts' Executive Office of Health and Human Services.Those payments ended in 2012.

Tamerlan is the dead bomber brother, killed in a hail of bullets last Friday. But apparently, when alive, this murderous bastage sat at home on his jihadist butt scheming to kill Americans (yet collect a welfare check), while his wife, Katherine, worked 80 hours per week.

I guess that's halal for these scumbags.

From the Boston Herald:

'In addition, both of Tsarnaev’s parents received benefits, and accused brother bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger, according to the state.

The news raises questions over whether Tsarnaev financed his radicalization on taxpayer money.'

Gee, ya think?!  And how do such poor, unemployed immigrants pay for tuition at UMass-Dartmouth while the other brother flies back and forth to Russia?

The surviving bomber brother, Dzhokhar, is in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and has been charged in federal court with using a weapon of mass destruction.

Now this:

Why Does Evil Make Liberals Stupid?

 "This piece in The Atlantic is a good exemplar of the mushy liberal commentary that has proliferated in recent days. Authored by one Megan Garber, it is titled: “The Boston Bombers Were Muslim: So?”

Before taking a close look at Ms. Garber’s article, let’s advise The Atlantic not to put away that headline. It could come in handy so often. “The Cole Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The Embassy Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The First World Trade Center Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The September 11 Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The Madrid Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The London Bombers Were Muslim: So?” “The Shoebomber Was Muslim: So?” The Underwear Bomber Was Muslim: So?” “The Fort Hood Shooter Was Muslim: So?” “The Beslan Child-Murderers Were Muslim: So?” “The Times Square Bomber Was Muslim: So?”

We could keep this up for a very long time, but let’s move on to Ms. Garber’s soulful meanderings..."

Contrived, Demagogic Headline of the Day

From politically opportunistic Reuters:

Boston bombing suspects did not have valid handgun licenses

Oh, noes. I'm shocked. They probably didn't have valid pressure cooker with C4 licenses, either. Idiots.

"Within hours of their images being released on Thursday, the two (Tsarnaev) brothers are accused of shooting dead a Massachusetts Institute of Technology campus police officer in his car, hijacking at least one car at gunpoint, and of shooting at least one police officer during the gun battle in nearby Watertown."

That dead officer's name is Sean Collier.

Meanwhile: FBI hunting 12-strong terrorist “sleeper cell” linked to brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

But in the interim,  let's amuse ourselves with MSNBC's psycho-babbling psucho-babblers babbling on about our collective 'responsibility for or connection to their violence.' Idiots.

Boston Bomb Suspect Dzhokhar Awake, Responding via Writing

From USA Today:

"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombings, is awake in a Boston hospital and responding in writing to questions, a law enforcement official said Sunday.

Investigators who have been waiting to interrogate Tsarnaev are looking into the possibility that his neck wound was self inflicted, a federal law enforcement official said."

Three people were killed and more than 170 were injured when two bombs exploded April 15 near the Boston Marathon finish line.

Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis believes that Dzhokhar and his brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26 (now dead), "were going to attack other individuals."

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is under heavy guard, and in serious condition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. A commenter notes that 'Beth Israel' means 'House of Israel.'

Hamas: 'Killing Jews is Worship that Draws us Close to Allah'

San Fransisco fruits n nuts: 'Exposing Hamas' desire to kill Jews is 'Islamophobic bigotry.'

On Revolution Day, Iranians Chant ‘death to America, Israel'

From Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch:

"Nothing new here. They do this every year. But just imagine the outcry if Americans or Israelis were turning out in large numbers to chant "death to Iran."

Today's fashionable multicultural relativism masks an actual racism that holds Muslims to lower standards than it does everyone else. I say let's hold everyone to the same standard, and condemn this genocidal bloodlust for what it is."

But, but, Islam is the Religion of Peace® !

Yet Another Obligatory "Islam Cracks Down on Valentine's Day" Post

KUALA LUMPUR - (that's the capital of Malaysia, in southeast Asia):

"More than 300 volunteers between 19 to 25 years-old today joined a programme to make Muslims wary of the importance of not celebrating Valentine's Day.

Islamic Development Department (Jakim) director of Family, Social and Community Division, Saimah Mokhtar hopes parents take the ban on Valentine's Day celebration seriously as it has elements of Christianity and mixed with vices forbidden by Islam."

 And they mean business. A fatwa was issued against roses n candy n stuff.


The Saudis ban Valentine's day, too, because it's 'anti-islam,' or something.

"Shops and other outlets, such as restaurants, are officially banned from marking Valentine's Day, in which lovers traditionally exchange cards and gifts."

 I like sneaking around with you: Where to celebrate Valentine’s Day in Kuwait.
(yup. it's from 2012, but I doubt much has changed in a year)

Taking Mohamed Out of Christmas

*repost from 2010

Teen plotted to bomb Oregon tree-lighting ceremony

"Mohamed Osman Mohamud, 19, was arrested at 5:40 p.m. just after he dialed a cell phone that he thought would blow up a van laden with explosives but instead brought federal agents and Portland police swooping in to take him into custody.

Mohamud yelled "Allahu Akhkbar" and tried to kick agents and police as the arrest came, according to prosecutors.

He was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction."

Search the intertoobs and notice that none of the headlines dare say this pile of dog squeeze is a Muslim.

The folks in Portland are simply thankful none of their Mao ornaments were damaged.

MM has a murderers row of Islamic terrorists who have plagued us in recent years with their death, violence, and attempted destruction.

"Yes: Violent jihad. Two words the current occupant of the White House won't say together and about which he remains in stubborn denial.

Violent jihad. A fundamental tenet of legions and legions of Muslims worldwide -- and untold numbers of homegrown and immigrant practitioners of the Religion of Perpetual Outrage here on American soil."

We may not be at war with Islam, but Islam sure as h*ll is at war with us!

French Police Kill Violent Jihadist Responsible for Toulouse Jewish School Murders

You know, the gunman who European talking heads feverishly speculated was a Neo-Nazi, thus someone on the "extreme right." With the additional possibility he's a radical Lutheran. Of course.

May the Lord have mercy on his miserable soul.

From the Telegraph UK:

"Mohamed Merah, an Islamic extremist who boasted of killing seven people to strike back at France, was shot in the head by police as he jumped out of his apartment after a fierce gunfight with police.

His dramatic death ended a more than 32-hour standoff with an elite police squad trying to capture him alive. The 23-year-old suspect was wanted in the deaths of three paratroopers, three Jewish schoolchildren and a rabbi – all killed since March 11 in what he reportedly told police was an attempt to "bring France to its knees...

Merah had filmed all three killings, and claimed to have posted them online. Police have viewed the videos. The prosecutor said the gunman, in his first killing of a paratrooper March 11, is heard on the video saying "You kill my brothers; I kill you."

When killing two other paratroopers four days later in the nearby town of Montauban, he cried out "Allahu akbar," or "God is great" in Arabic. "

 Which probably explains these vanilla headlines:

From the NY Times: French Slaying Suspect Dead After Police Raid Hideout.
From the AP: France's interior minister says terror suspect wants to ‘die with weapons in his hands’ as standoff enters second day.
From CNN: French killings suspect dies shooting at police, authorities say.
From the WaPo: Mohammed Merah, Toulouse shooting suspect, dead after police standoff, shootout.

"French slaying suspect." "Terror suspect." "Killings suspect." "Toulouse shooting suspect."

Just don't say "violent jihadist' because we mustn't rush to judgment about the suspect's motives. Unless, of course, he's a extreme right, neo-nazi, radical Lutheran.

H over at the JR writes, "Its worthy to note that there has been a recent spate of Violence with Jihadis connected to Southwestern France and Belgium."

We may not be at war with Islam, but apparently, Islam is at war with the West.

"A Neo-Nazi Named 'Muhammed'?"

From JC at the AT:

"The major story in Europe these last few days has been the manhunt for the killer of four people at a Jewish school in Toulouse and three French paratroopers.  Since the paratroopers were all "of color," the open speculation by European talking heads was that the gunman was a Neo-Nazi, thus someone on the "extreme right," a possibility that energized the media."

With the additional possibility he's a radical Lutheran, of course.

From this morning's surprised NY Times:

French Police Have Cornered Suspect in Shooting of Jewish School Children.

"The man claimed to belong to Al Qaeda, telling negotiators the attacks were meant to avenge the deaths of Palestinian children and to protest French military deployments abroad, according to Interior Minister Claude Guéant, who was at the site of the raid on Wednesday morning.

Investigators believe the man, identified as Mohammed Merah, a French national from Toulouse, to be behind the shooting deaths of three French paratroopers as well as an attack on Monday outside a nearby Jewish school that killed a rabbi and three children. Mr. Merah fired several heavy volleys at security forces ringing the five-floor apartment building in which he had barricaded himself, about two miles south of the school. Two officers were slightly wounded, Mr. Guéant said."

It's not one world. But we mustn't rush to judgment about the suspect's motives.

Radical Shi'ite Islamists Stone 14 to Death for being "too Western"

From a manifest Reuters:

"Emo" is a form of punk music developed in the United States. Fans are known for their distinctive dress, often including tight jeans, T-shirts with logos and distinctive long or spiky haircuts.

At least 14 bodies of youths have been brought to three hospitals in eastern Baghdad bearing signs of having been beaten to death with rocks or bricks, security and hospital sources told Reuters under condition they not be identified because they were not authorized to speak to the media.

Nine bodies were brought to hospitals in Sadr City, a vast, poor Shi'ite neighborhood, three were brought to East Baghdad's main al-Kindi hospital and two were brought to the central morgue, medical sources said."

It's not one world.

"A Gay Girl in Damascus" Blog Was Hoax

Actually it was some dude from Georgia...

Klavan on the Culture

Your Putz Reference Point Headquarters which explains to all the putzes how Osama bin Laden utilized his free will to opt out of the humanity clause in the Social Contract.



But never mind all that. Simply join in with the Holy Name of Jesus Catholic Church in West Palm Beach, Fla. to pray for the soul of OBL, et al.

From TIME Magazine:

"Parishioner Henry Borga requested the Mass intention on behalf of one Osama bin Laden. It is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic Church to offer Masses for souls in purgatory or to remember someone who has died or to honor someone still living. Borga told a local television channel that he placed the request for bin Laden because "he needs forgiveness and compassion from God."

Two points for Mr. Borga to ponder;
1) Remembrance or honor is one thing, but what's the point of praying for a dead person? The time for salvation is in this life, not the next.
2) Yet, I wonder if Mr. Borga was ever moved to organize a misguided prayer vigil at the death Ayman al-Zawahiri or Saddam Hussein or any number of thousands killed during the Iraq war?

We are called to forgive, yes, but that does not mean we are required to forget their evil - or tolerate it.
