But the dots cannot be connected, at least at this point, said Stephen Sloan, a former University of Oklahoma professor who is alarmed that far-right extremist groups have taken to the Internet with conspiracy theories attempting to link the actions of Hinrichs to the Muslim community of Norman and to the Middle East.

Okay, all you right-wing extremists, just cut it out. The Professor says you're overreacting. Wait until he tells you what to think.

[JustaCowgirl]

pinging you to the latest Tulsa World attempt to quiet any thinking that's out of line with their wishes.

far-right extremist groups have taken to the Internet with conspiracy theories

And all along I thought FR stood for Free Republic instead of Far Right. Silly me. ;-)

[JustaCowgirl]

Exactly. Get your thinking in line, please. You've probably been brainwashed by all these far right-wing extremists with their conspiracy theories.

>Joel Hinrichs Jr. told the Tulsa World that he knew his son was troubled, but he had no idea he wanted to die.

>"I would have been there within whatever the speed limit would allow me to be if I had any inclination that he was this unhappy," the father said...


You have got to be f'ing KIDDING me. If the father knew his son was suicidal, he would drive within the speed limit to get to him?

Well, I guess I know one reason why the kid was suicidal... Dad's kind of a loser.

"But it is unfortunately logical to think that he was trying to get into the stadium."

Its these darn facts that keep getting in the way...

[Lexington Green]

What would the Professor think if the bomber had blown up near an abortion clinic and his roommate was KKK?

A guy named Hinrichs wrote this article

I know. It must be an infernal nuisance to have to deal with all these logical conclusions people keep drawing when it doesn't fit your obviously superior judgment of what is the true situation

"Haven't we learned from the bombing of the Murrah Building (in 1995) in Oklahoma City, when the first reports tried to tie the bombing to a foreigner from the Middle East?" Sloan said. "But that proved to be false.

The article says Hinrichs lived at Parkview Apartments, just a few blocks from the mosque of the Islamic Society of Norman. Also fueling the link to some kind of Middle East terrorism is the fact that Hinrichs' roommate, Fazil Cheema, is from Pakistan. Acquaintances of Cheema's say he is not a practicing Muslim and never attends services at the mosque.
But I just watched a very good movie produced by BBC titled
" Dirty War" which though fiction was based on actual intelligence research. One of the points made was that the bombers in the movie DID NOT ATTEND MOSQUE. So I would not put too much stock in the fact Cheema did not go to Mosque. Very possibly they do not want to be seen as extremists and draw attention to themselves.

Actually, I got his name wrong. It was Mark Hinton. Thanks for the correction.

Admin, would you please correct the author's name. Sorry about that.

"Before 9-11, I knew 30 Saudi students at OU; all but two of them left," he said.

Time for more IslamoPukes to leave.

The Daily Oklahoman published another whitewash I posted awhile ago here. It was so full of prairie frisbees I had to doublecheck to make sure Dave Boren didn't write it. Whatever actually happened, we'll never hear about it from Oklahoma print media.

so full of prairie frisbees

LOL! There have been lots of articles full of cow pie fly magnets in the last week. I saw the Oklahoman one today too.

[DC Bound]

Well said.

[MizSterious]

You gotta watch where ya walk following this story, that's for sure!

"Haven't we learned from the bombing of the Murrah Building (in 1995) in Oklahoma City, when the first reports tried to tie the bombing to a foreigner from the Middle East?" Sloan said. "But that proved to be false.

This has never been proved to be false, and that makes me question anything else this person says.

"Its these darn facts that keep getting in the way..."

And those damn far-right wing zealots keep digging them up on the internet...

Who is being interviewed here? Boren or Mary Mapes?

I'm more than a little surprised they didn't actually name the website.

[Vaquero]

just where the heck are the Fan Belt Inspectors........something has to come of this.

[milford421]

"While Hinrichs' individual actions are still being probed, the Islamic community of Norman is on edge, fearful that this troubling event is somehow linked to Muslims."

Now why would the Islamic community of Norman be fearful that this troubling event is somehow linked to muslims?

Interesting statement.
