There's Nothing 'Homegrown' About The Boston Terror Attacks
Forbes ^ | 4/23/2013 | Shoshana Bryen

The discovery that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev lived in the United States for a decade produced a spate of theorizing over “homegrown” terrorism and terrorists. Baseball, Google and iPhones are homegrown. There is nothing “homegrown” about Islamic terrorism, which is taught, bought and paid for by international sponsors, primarily Iran and Wahabi Saudi Arabia. ... jihadists buy people living in the United States — often immigrants or first generation Americans — doesn’t make the terror less a foreign import.

A 2007 NYPD study Radicalization in the West: the Homegrown Threat concluded that “Susceptible people seek an identity or a cause and often self-identify before finding compatriots.” Such people may first drop into Internet sites and chat rooms that are trolled by people — professional jihadists — looking for potential recruits. The report called the Internet “an enabler, providing an anonymous virtual meeting place.”...

According to the International Business Times Tamerlan listened to Feiz Mohammad on YouTube. Feiz, a radical imam born in Australia to Lebanese parents, played the sermons of Anwar al Awlaki, preached that women are responsible for rape, and Dutch politician Geert Wilders should be decapitated. In a 2007 documentary, he told children, “There is nothing more beloved to me than wanting to die as a Muhajid.” Feiz’s whereabouts are unknown – he may be in Lebanon or perhaps in Malaysia. But it doesn’t matter – his Internet presence lives around the world.

What if Tamerlan Tsarnaev never dropped out?

Praise for The Black Flag of Khorasan, a reference to Muslim Armageddon in jihadist ideology, appears on what is said to have been on Tsarnaev’s Facebook page. Assuming it was his, it is important to understand the shift in the Chechen wars from nationalist to Islamist, precipitated by waves of Saudi money and ideology.

The Saudis really are at the heart of this evil Islam.

It is patently insulting for these media pukes to be calling the surviving terrorists a “kid” and insinuating he and his effed up Jihadist Muslim brother were “only products of growing up here”.

Somebody tell me where there is proof they’ve spent even 10 years here. Some reports even put it lesser than that.

19 and 26 subtract 5 or 10 years here....I get 9 and 16 in some other Muslim influenced hellhole controlled by irrational Jihadists. Bullshit. Early life in a person is what establishes their later bent on life, and to me, the lives up to 9 and 16 are far more the imperative than the largess, indulgence and pampering they had here (likely interspersed with local IMAM brainwashing at their local Boston Mosque)...

Boston Strong....yeah...tell me about it.

When they boycotted us back in the 70s, we should have invaded them and taken the oil. They have a small population, small military, and are loath to work. Had we done that, the world would not be having the problems it has today.

He’ll, we could invade Saudi Arabia tomorrow and take over the country in a few days...

Just think of all the other people that have spent significant time in America

and NOT set bombs at a major public event.

“Being in America” is not a statistically causal factor.

The more lovabe and normalthey make the muzzy slime appear to be, the more obvious it is that YOU CANNOT TRUST ANY OF THEM!!!!!!

All it takes is a phone call and any one of them will go out and murder American children, laughing all the way.

With Dzhokhar Tsarnaev now America’s newest Rock Star “sweetheart” among the Twits, has anyone heard if it is having any effect on Justin Beiber’s fan base?

The Jesuits have a maxim “Give us a child until he’s seven, and he’s ours forever”. It’s the case with Islam as well. A child brought up in an Islamic environment will tend to stay Islamic.

The apologists are hard at work...

Excerpt:

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has specifically cited the U.S. war in Iraq, which ended in December 2011 with the removal of the last American forces, and the war in Afghanistan, where President Obama plans to end combat operations by the end of 2014.

Obama has made repairing U.S. relations with the Islamic world a foreign policy priority, even as he has expanded drone operations in Pakistan and other countries, which has inflamed Muslim public opinion.

Of course there’s nothing “homegrown” about them. They’re Turkish-Iberian Ayrabs, found from Italy to Russia.

This makes me sick to my stomach. A19 yr old, having been welcomed and given everything we have to offer, not to mention bunches of bucks from his Massachusetts approved wahabbist mosque so he could have a ride worthy of his dignity as a jihadist, is now being cited by the Washington Post. Toughskies for all you Bostonians who died or lost your limbs or whose lives will never be the same. The US deserved it, you see, and this poor youth was just crying out the only way he could.

I am so disgusted by this I don’t know what to say. Until we have some politician with the courage to speak up for us and challenge Obama and the left on their hatred of Americans and protection of Islam, we’re helpless. I’d support such a person in a flash Even if I didn’t agree with all his other positions.

Has anyone ever found out what these two “bombers” did for a living? Where did they get their funding and living expenses from? I never seem to be able to find that info.

Freepers???????

They didn’t have jobs and while they got enough to live on from US and MA taxpayers, they couldn’t have afforded payments for a BMW and a Mercedes. I think the younger one was probably dealing pot (and possibly involved in the killing of the two men in Boston whose bodies were left scattered with marihuana leaves). But both of them were clearly getting money under the table from some source.
