That's what most racists say.

BTW, you didn't answer my earlier question: you mentioned that someone in a picture alleged to be a suspect you claimed that he looked like he converted to Islam and I asked how would you know what a convert looks like? Please elaborate because I am curious.

No, I said he doesnt look like a Muslim unless he is a convert.

The point was the vast majority of Muslims in the nation are of either Asian, Arab or Black heritage.

I hope this answers your question.

[mintgum84;29163831]If that is accurate, it looks bad for the anti Muslim crowd.

He could be a convert, but he doesnt look like one. He has the deranged white guy look.
You did not answer the question: What does a Muslim convert look like? There are well over 100,000 white Americans that have converted to Islam. What would they look like after their conversion to Islam that makes them standout as converts?

Asian, Arab and Blacks (not AAs)who are Muslims are born into the religion. 90% of converts to Islam are white. When you say "Asian" I assume you are referring to Pakistanis. I bet you couldn't tell the difference between a Muslim Pakistani and an Indian that is a Hindu. There are Arabs that are Jews and Christian. Blacks that are not AA are not necessarily Muslim. The majority of AAs are not Muslim. You are profiling and assuming far too much.

I knew it. No matter what the right will not accept it either way. The excuses have already started. Talk radio is already making excuses for the guilty but they will quickly change if the person is brown.

This thread needs to be slapped back to its senses. They have photos of the guys and they aren't white. So no more idiotic hate filled racist comments from you people, please.
Now my big question.... from the photos they showed on Alex Jones website, the only one who showed them, what were all those feds with backpacks doing apparently just before the blast? If they had a drill were they actually looking for something or just going through the motions? I'm actually pretty pissed off that this happened right under their noses. Who were these guys? Regular cops, DHS, who?

The have photos of PERSONS OF INTEREST not "suspects" or anything else, there IS a difference. The Saudi kid was a PERSON OF INTEREST and we saw where that went.
Personally I hate the term person of interest and wish they'd not come up with it to begin with as it gives many the wrong idea. People can get hurt or killed who had nothing at all to do with it.
Can you imagine if the public in Boston had gotten hold of that Saudi kid right after he was fingered? I'd bet it would've been ugly,ugly,ugly.
