Irrelevant. He turned into a radical terrorist and killed people. I guess he played a good role - most terrorists do.

The english term "gentleman" is defined as:

A chivalrous, courteous, or honorable man.
A man of good social position, esp. one of wealth and leisure.

The reporters who referred to them this way need an education at least....pillaried a possibility.

My concern was with this thread and Forum. Reality is a different subject.

Btw, you aren't breaking anything to me. It's a shame... but like you said, you're the sorry one.

HIS FACEBOOK page states that HE IS A MUSLIM. Yes, he is MUSLIM. Unless he lied

And again, I am sure that there are nice Muslims, I have been friends with very kind Muslims.
I also have friends who are married to Muslims or in a mixed marriage. But, deep inside, they do
NOT like anything Western, Americans, Christians, etc. I have met Muslims from Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon,
Jordan, etc. and they all have one thing in common. They all believe that we as a country
export a lot of FILTH, via Hollywood. They believe that we have helped to corrupt them via
TV, movies & everything else we export. In addition, there is hatred due to our ongoing wars, invasions,
etc. They do not see us as their friends, but that we always butt in when we are not supposed to...
Our military participation has caused many deaths in the Middle East. Losing their loved ones, friends, etc.
is part of the reason for the hatred....Think about it, if you lost your parents, brothers, sisters, friends, because
Americans invade your country, over & over again how would you feel ? Its not an excuse, but it
explains why they are programmed to hate us from a very young age.... Even when they grow up here,
this is NOT HOME.
ISLAM means more to them than anything else, followed by family, country (where their family is from)
Not the US.


Again, I am sure there a lot of nice Muslims out there, I have met many of them.

But, in this case, we can see from the Military training, the ISLAM as world view. That this was
obviously planned in advanced... This spells HATRED! Which makes it sad...

And these two brothers went to the Latin School in Boston (from the FACEBOOK page) That is a very
difficult school to get into & stay in. So, they are very bright guys, yet their hatred for us
took over what could have been a bright future Why throw it all away? HATRED.....
Also, you can have someone with a problem, but 2 brothers, that is too much....

lets get something clear. These 2 guys were here legally.How come illegals or undocumented workers came into this discussion.

This might be the best post of the day!

And some have called them guys, some have called them dudes, some have called them men.

So freaking what. It's not like these guys on the street are scripted.

Originally from Chechnya, but living in the United States since five years, Tamerlan says: "I don't have a single American friend, I don't understand them."
If he wins enough fights... Tamerlan says he could be selected for the US Olympic team and be naturalized American. Unless his native Chechnya becomes independent, Tamerlan says he would rather compete for the United States than for Russia.
Tamerlan says he doesn't drink or smoke anymore: "God said no alcohol." A muslim, he says: "There are no values anymore," and worries that "people can't control themselves."

which is kind of weird. And it says he has been here 5 years not one so when was he trained?

Sounds like a lone radicalized kid to me.

The rest of the press is saying that the family immigrated here in 2002 or 2003. They've been here 10 years, and the boys grew up here, especially the youngest one.

Wow a Chechnyan....literally from the Caucasus mountains. Couldn't get more Caucasian than that...
