God wtf is wrong with this world?

The only thing that's changed is your access to information about all of the things.

The darker side of having the world at your fingertips.

The officer who first engaged them at MIT was shot to death, RIP. Unbelievable wave of events, sounds like they gunned him down near MIT, carjacked someone in Cambridge at some point and were throwing explosive devices at officers on the road, got into a huge shootout where one of them was eventually killed and the second bomber hopped into a car and made it through a police brigade and is still on the loose in Watertown. This second SOB will be caught soon, can't imagine he will escape the thousands of law enforcement in the area.

Another officer in critical condition.Atleast one of these m effers is down.

One cowardly scumbag down and with daylight approaching, one who will soon meet the same fate.

Boston Strong.

Ok I'm going to say it. The suspects look like they could be middle eastern students.

Their names are known - Sunil Tripathi and Mike Mulugeta.

Sorry to disappoint, but neither appears to be Muslim. Sunil is an Indian/Hindi name, and I have no clue what the other dude is. Who knows at this point though.

It appears the Sunil Tripathi association was premature. NBC and other media outlets are all over it. One bad thing about twitter is bad/false info can get proliferated like wildfire.

From the police scanner sounds like they just caught him, so I guess we'll find out soon enough...

Thank you for being such an @zz but one of them happens to be half European descent.

The half Indian/half European man's family is getting hate messages. How come no one cares about the factory explosion in Texas?

I really hope they got him, but it wouldn't be the first time today they thought they captured a suspect who was somebody else. The now famous naked dude was an innocent bystander.

For obvious reasons the networks aren't moving on this "we got him" scanner call before they get confirmation.

That appears to be the man in the white hat. I can't see where that Sunil figure comes in.

Ummm...the whole Sunil Tripathi association was premature and incorrect... Reddit started the association rumor and twitter spread it like wildfire. We've seen the both the best and worst twitter has to offer in the last 7 hours.

Only because people are so fascinated by murders, the media (and internet sleuths) goes on a wild witch hunt.

Looks like people on cyberspace are excited they are from around Chechnya and are claiming they are "Muzzies". Nice to see typical hatred once again. I personally take no part in all this BS and don't know anyone who does, but if all people had compassion for others, we wouldn't have this world be as messy as it is. Glad this is coming to an end.

Those of you who have issues with "Muzzies", learn some tolerance and try to understand. Most of us, by far, are not into war. Go to a mosque and see how many middle-aged and old men are there. Ever notice "Muzzie" terrorists are always young? As said before, Wahhabis also go after Muslims, too. The US is an ally of Saudi Arabia, the very kingdom who pushes this Wahhabi BS. According to Islam, the actions of both are punishable by death. Justice served.

I don't think anyone has a problem with people of the Muslim faith. Our problem is with Muslim fundamentalists who have twisted the Koran to justify terrorism. The latest reports are that the bombers are from Chechnya, a Muslim region of Russia with a long history of terrorism. It is likely that the bombers are not Protestant, Jews, Catholics, Hindu or atheisists. My bet still goes on Muslim fundamentalists.

Anything that challenges the conceit of Fortress America is unpopular Butchie. Muzzies are going to take it on the chin this weekend . I expect to be entertained all weekend by posters demanding Death to all Muzzies

Chechnya used to be heavily into "Sufi" Islam (the school of thought I follow) before Wahhabi money crept in and corrupted the youth with propaganda. There's a tload of people in the US who are not Muslims (neo-Nazis, patriots, apocalyptic Christians, etc) and waiting to cause damage. They certainly outnumber Wahhabis.

They obviously have not been paying attention to China. I never even heard a single Muslim come up with a nickname for Christians, which I know you are. We are taught to respect other religions. Too bad the anti-Muzzie Christians can't and want to think we're devil worshipers.

 

[Dove]

The 2nd suspect who has been caught is Mike Mulugeta. The one still on the loose is missing brown student, sunil tripathi

Wow, man. Swung on and missed.

It's so complicated that it would be near impossible to do any justice to this. Chechnya obviously was not a religious resistance. It was your prototypical liberation movement, just like Georgia/Abkazia directly to the east. You had a conflict there too that looked like Chechnya. These are post-Soviet liberation revolutions, and the religious makeup of the people (Christians in Georgia, Muslims in Chechnya) is only relevant after the fact (i.e. once the people become radicalized, only then is religion used as a recruitment tool). Just like Bosnia and Kosovo, strife created an opening for Muslim fundamentalists to recruit--but the Christian side was recruiting thugs there too. Religion simply seems to be a tool used for power in these countries, rather than the thing that creates differences in the first place. It's the same as Iraq. Sectarian strife, not religious strife.

This statement has no place on this site, not in the men's basketball, not in the cesspool, really not anywhere at all. We may well find out, quite probably today, whether or not fundementalist muslims are behind the attack. Even after that happens, you'd be out of line.

So, now they're not even Chechnyan. They are from Kyrgyzstan. That's much more Eastern than Chechnya. Essentially, it's a country buffering the ex-USSR from China. So, lots of Russians and Europeans (30%) and minority Central Asians (Uzebks and Ughurs who are the group challenging the Chinese in that region inside China), while the rest are ethnic Kyrghiz (Turkic people) comprising about 60-65%.

Muslims comprise 80% of the population, 17% Christian, but there is no radicalization of the kind you see in Georgia (Christian) or Chechnya (Muslim). Furthermore, Europeans have tended to emigrate from the country (mainly to Germany) while the country becomes increasingly Kyrghiz and Muslim. In other words, the people who leave the country for other countries tend to be European and Christian. If you see what most Kyrghiz people look like, they have Mongolian and Asian features, while the two bombers look European. That's a generalization of course, but that's how it breaks down.
