Please provide a link to the most recent incident of a depressed American student that went to a public area and detonated a bomb in order to commit suicide, here in the USA. Pills, shotguns, pistols, self-immolation, jumping from heights, and carbon monoxide do not count.
In order to posit a suicide theory as plausable, there should be at least one example within the study group of American students.
You are not only reserving judgement, you are an apologist. IMHO

"All joking aside, if it was some kind of Islamic ultra-conspiracy, I'd think they would have waited until next weekend, when it would get national media attention (the OU/UT game will be broadcast nationwide, and it takes place alongside the Texas state fair - several hundred thousand people will be there)."

Now if you were to plan a devastating act would you plan it when there will be the biggest security and a time when most think of it happening, or would you plan it when LEAST EXPECTED?

and first they have to identify the perp/body

I suppose this is the key. If we find out he was a Muslim well, then, the floodgates are opened in the media.

If he was a white guy there will be conspiracy theories, of course, but the story will die.

---Maybe they got burned reporting all the mis-information in New Orleans. Or maybe there is more info but they are keeping quiet to aid the investigation. ---

Sarcasm?

Harris and what's-his-face at Columbine, except they didn't detonate their propane bombs.

I haven't heard a word on who it is or anything else except the contradictory article and what I have found on my own by making some calls.

I haven't been on the computer all weekend, just got online a few minutes ago, checked email and saw a Breaking News Alert from Fox, sent last night -

ONE STUDENT KILLED IN BOMBING AT OKLAHOMA UNIVERSITY DURING KANSAS STATE-OKLAHOMA FOOTBALL GAME

Of course then I get on FR, see the thread in the breaking news bar, start to read, go to check Fox News online, CNN etc, and nothing. There's got to be some sort of news blackout on this - a bomb goes off killing one person 100 yards from a stadium full of 80k people, and NO ONE is talking about it? Astounding.

I haven't read but the beginning and end of this thread, can't take the time to go back and read 2500+ posts, but it seems to me like a suicide bomber headed for the stadium, detonated prematurely, thank God. Is that the general consensus here?

I can't believe there isn't a single front page headline on any of the major news sites. Shaking my head...

I can understand the St. Augustine's priest ( is that still the Church closest to campus) what Ramadan is and even reminding us of the virtues of fasting in the Catholic Religion. But free Korans and a presentation by the Islamic Center is not appropriate if such an event is sponsored and supported by the Catholic Church.
Let the Islamic center invite whom they want and then the Iman (sp) can explain about Ramadan and pass out Korans.
The Church should not be promoting a faith that is not Christian. By the way what does the Bishop think of such nonsense?

Its usually a sign of poor upbringing and lees than Christian values.

I'll have to check it out, thanks. I still want more facts about systematic, rather than sporadic, homosexuality in Islam. Could be some interesting research out there.

This suggests an interesting question: where's the suicide note?

"Suicide by explosion" is the leading cause of non-muslim student deaths on college campuses these days. Haven't you heard?

If you presume the bomber was foreign national of Islamic religion and I do, then a college town with lots of foreign nationals provides an opportunity to blend into a crowd without notice. Individuals with such a background would have a difficult time going relatively unnoticed at an NFL game, particularly say a Packer home game.

"Good heavans! 2400 posts and counting? You even read my junk?"

I read every post and checked every link. I read the blog of the guy who said he was a mile away. I watched his video (what a waste of time that was - just pictures of cop cars and people walking around). I even read some DU threads. I read the SI story last night that Drudge linked today, along with about 40 other papers. Almost every story other than SI was the same AP story.
