It's the jihad, dummy.
The American Thinker ^ | May 06, 2010 | David Paulin

What motivated Faisal Shahzad to attempt to explode a car bomb in Times Square? Might it have anything to do with radial Islam, jihad, and anti-Western hatred?

Nope. Not according many media outlets. Consider a story in today's Connecticut Post, a Bridgeport-based newspaper that's one of the state's largest dailies. It provides fascinating insights on what set off Shahzad -- insights that come from James Monahan, a clinical psychologist and associate professor of criminal justice at the University of New Haven.

"Maybe he (Shahzad) was the runt of the litter; the child who couldn't meet his parents' expectations," Monahan told the paper.

"Maybe he was starting to see the hopes of living the good life in America die and he began feeling like a failure," the professor speculates at another point. "Maybe he wanted the satisfaction of going out with a bang."

Runt of the litter?

Hahah!

It was probably due to chronic constipation! A big explosion always loosens the bowels.

To quote the SNL Church Lady, "Could it have been Sssssatan?"

As I stated yesterday. Who gives a good damn why he did it. He did it. He committed an act of treason, he attempted to commit mass murder and there isnt a Civilian charge harsh enough to punish him. He should go to a military court be found guilty and executed, and it should happen in 30 days.

I know-—I am dreaming we will be at least two years getting this guy 15 years in Sing Sing..

Maybe it was because he was a devout Muslim.
Oh. Right. Islam is a religion of peace. All the terrorist actions committed by Muslims were examples of lone nut cases and had nothing to do with their religion. < /puke>
