I am posting this as I want to make something real clear. This is a thread to discuss our feelings about the tragedy and to discuss the events that have transpired.

However, we have a Zero Tolerance policy on discussions of Religon and Politics. Do not bring them up in this thread. If you do, you will be Warned and Suspended from the forums for at least the weekend.

Feel free to discuss this without bringing religion or politics into this.

I think that they were very confused, that they thought in some way they were doing something good or meaningful.

Just a thought, but this current line of discussion needs to end based on the zero tolerance on religion, the "mistreatment of Muslims" theme that we have been talking about comes awfully close.

if we can keep this going, then my opinion is the younger brother may have been brainwashed by the older one. But the older one knew exactly what he was doing, no confusion in him

Then why are you bringing it back up

Well, Obama making note of not judging entire groups and making assumptions was pretty great.

Glad this whole thing is over.

because you did That quote was in regard to that subject

Not yet. now they need to get him to talk about his motivation and if he had any backing who are they. I think his radical brother was the brains of the two, so with him gone, we may be able to get the brainwashed kid to talk

In the previous thread where it should have been left buried.

I'm going to stay away from this for a while until all the facts come out. It is wrong to associate either of them to any cause until we know for a fact what's going on. Also, I don't think this thread will go anywhere but south based on the associations that have been littered onto them by the media.

I'll add to CCNA's direction one that includes cultural intolerance. This is the USA folks. We are a mixed bag of cultures and are founded on cultural tolerance so...let's just not get into it. There have been plenty of bombers in all cultures and religious affiliations. Don't start with the pointing fingers at whole groups of people.
