“The two stolen passports suggest terrorism, IMO.”
I can see why people would think that, and of course it may be correct (whether we ever find out or not). But this plane was a completely Asian gig, it seems to me. Nobody was striking out at the “great satan” by killing these people.
Do we know how common travel on stolen passports is in that part of the world, or even in general? And, now that I’m thinking about it, presumably those travelers where white since they were posing as an Italian and, what was the other one, German?
I don’t know, white terrorists blowing up a Malaysian plane filled with Chinese people? I’m not getting a good picture of who/what this would be.
Radical environmentalists?
Maybe the 2 people using the stolen passports were just ordinary crooks, unlucky ones in this case.
LOL, to Muslims the entire non-Muslim world is the Great Satan. You read about the mass murder by knifing by Muslims in China the other day? Plus, using terrorism as a cover for political assassination is hardly unknown.
Try this on for size:

The Uighur Muslims, in my humble opinion, may have attacked this flight as part of their jihad on the Chinese.
Also it was a Malaysian plane. Malaysia is a Mohammedan country.
Remember last week when the muslims stabbed a bunch of Chinese people?
I heard a guy on TV saying China is having religious wars on it’s SW border...with muslims.
