Even the bombs weren't as well done as they could have been. Your typical MIT student could have done a better job.

Its all so sloppy. They seem like amateurs. But we'll find out soon enough.
They were not amateurs, The bombs went off and caused much carnage. They did the job.

Does it matter? Both parties has their extremists. Either way, to go this far to hurt and kill, it just proves they are crazy.

If they voted for one party, does that mean the other represents what they did. I think not.

Because, as you say, America is a Christian nation, and because for many militant Muslims the world is not understood as it is to us as divided by nationality so much as by religion. We are not so much Americans in their eyes, as we are the power-center of Christendom.

You can't. Muslims kill each other because they're in different sects. Muslims kill others for not being Muslim etc,etc etc.
If one could remove their hate of the U.S. and self loathing one would see that the idea is to FORCE the U.S. to either become Muslim under sharia law or be eliminated then rebuilt as a Muslim nation.
If we completely pulled back into our own borders do you really think that'd stop anything? Be honest if at all possible.
Countries where Muslims arent conducting violence:

Brasil and All of South America

All of Eastern Europe

East Asia (Japan et al)

Central America

Southern Africa (RSA et al)

Want me to go on fool?

I'm still playing catch up here and haven't read through all the posts yet, but from what they're discussing on the news right now, it sounds like they never gave any indication of any strong political ideology and that they were both active in sports and activities growing up, with the younger one currently in college.

The older one is married, with a baby, and wanted to be a professional boxer.

Everyone who knows them says they are shocked.

I still think it could be a couple of bored young men who just wanted to create mayhem.

What if they don't find the guy.. will they continue the lock down? Maybe he slipped through and is far from the area. The whole idea is for the terrorist to upset everyday life for as many people as possible.. they love it.
Well you obviously haven't read it because what you posted was made up garbage. Muslims believe that Jews, Christians and Muslims are all the keepers of holy scripture--Jews through the Torah and Christians through the Gospel--and should be respected as truth.

Those who follow the Messenger (Mohammed), the Prophet who can neither read nor write, whom they will find described in the Torah and the Gospel (which are) with them (7:157 MP).

We believe in Allah, and in what has been revealed to us and what was revealed to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and in (the Books) given to Moses, Jesus, and the Prophets, from their Lord: We make no distinction between one and another among them (3:84 AYA).

Stop spewing complete and total made up crap and hate!

All those countries believe - live and let live.
