It took so long to find the perpetrators of the Boston Marathon bombing that I was certain they must be devotees of the Religion of Peace — if they had been white supremacists, or Christian extremists, or Buddhist terrorists, they would have tracked down and perp-walked in front of the flashbulbs days ago.
And sure enough, it turns out that at least two of the suspects are brothers from Chechnya. One is still at large, and the other (now dead) was named, of all things, “Tamerlan”, i.e. Tamerlane or Timur — a murderous Mongol marauder in the Middle Ages, but nowadays a hero to Muslims in the Caucasus and the “Stans”.
One of the two young culture enrichers is said to have expressed his devotion to Allah online. You won’t read much about that in the MSM — they’re avoiding JIM like the plague — but if you chase down the links on Drudge, you’ll find it.
This story is ongoing, and I won’t be live-blogging it. Live feeds are available on the FOX and Guardian websites. I’m keeping the headphones on waiting for the dénouement.
Whoops! I just heard the word “Islamic” on the My FOX Boston live feed. The ice is beginning to melt…
Hat tip for the Guardian feed: AC.
So they are Muslims after all – albeit, rather white looking Muslims.
I wonder whether the mainstream media will try to paint them as Muslims or emphasise them as being European?
The names Tamerlan or Timour (and other variants) are not uncommon in the area. I have been following the news there for a while.
Who in America names their child Adolf Hitler? Or Genghis Khan? Or Caligula? Tamerlane is another figure from that same cast. Good riddance to Mr. Tamerlan, who is a loser even at his chosen career of mass murder. Total score four, and that, shared two ways. And now it’s game over for him.
Tamurlane is the infamously brutal Mongol emperor, descendent of Genghis Khan’s, and a devout muslim.
He called himself “The Sword of Islam.”
Soooo: the oldest terrorist was named after the good old Sword of Islam, by his parents, presumably (probably his noxious father). Think there might be any Islamic Extremism in that family? Just a bit?
Also, the uncle who was on the air yesterday emotionally denouncing his nephews’ actions said, IIRC, “we have nothing to do with that side of the family!!” He loves America, he said: sounds like there’s a chasm in the family on that subject, doesn’t it?
Tamurlane, Tamurlane, Tamurlane: think about it. This is 200-proof islam, friends.
I had thought they might be white Americans beginning the backlash against their ultimate marginalisation into minority status in the country they founded, through the actions of the anti-WASP Teddy Kennedy.
The next few decades are going to be very lively in America and Europe as the Left’s dream of the total multiculturalisation of the hitherto white world begins to bite. What happens in America today arrives in Britain tomorrow and probably the rest of Europe and Australasia thereafter.
But now I hear they are Chechens and no doubt Russia will be voluteering advice as to how to deal with them. I do hope that the CIA has not been offering the Chechens support in their battle against anti-islamic Holy Russia. Remember NATO backed Kosovo against Serbia whilst Russia chose the Christian option. And here in Britain we have mixed feelings. Of course we wish Bostonians all the best in the face of this horror but then the Bostonian Irish did support the IRA’s terror campaign in Britain by pouring money into their coffers.
That uncle of the villain bombers was out COVERING his own a$$ today… Frankly me thinks he protested TOO loud and TOO MUCH!
He is a not so savory man who tried to defraud a former employer with some fast one by bringing his sis on board the company to assist in his nefarious plans to make some serious money off his employer, BIG SKY ENERGY , a Turkish run outfit that is located in the UK.
See this from legal report by that company:
On 8 March 2006 the District Court of Clark County, in the State of Nevada, USA, granted in favour of Big Sky a Temporary Restraining Order against Ruslan Tsarni, Maret Tsarnaeva and Farkhad Shakirov preventing them, or any third party, from seeking to or actually relying upon a purported Extract/Certificate/Affidavit of 22 March 2005 upon which Mr. Shakirov purported to base his authority to contract with Ligostrade on behalf of VEW in relation to the Atyrau Block as referred to above. Mr. Tsarni is Big Sky’s former Vice President – Business Development. Ms. Tsarnaeva is the sister of Ruslan Tsarni and was brought into the Big Sky Calgary offices by Mr. Tsarni with the stated intention of training her to become the in-house counsel on corporate and securities matters.
This Temporary Restraining Order is in support of substantive proceedings commenced by Big Sky to have such Extract/Certificate/Affidavit recognised as false, fraudulent, void and invalid ab initio.
This Temporary Restraining Order has already been served upon Messrs Tsarni and Shakirov and is being served upon Ms Tsarnaeva. The Clark County District Court has appointed the next hearing for 24 March 2006 and Big Sky confidently expects it will be successful in all respects.
The sister, Maret Tsarnaeva of that Ruslan Tsarini mentioned above as having BOTH been served retraining orders by the State of Nevada is the same Maret Tsarnaeva who is the aunt of the perps of the Boston MASS murders and she is the VERY one saying that the FBI is framing them. Also SHE is a villainess along with her brother, BOTH brought these miscreants into the USA as refugees! She was a surgeon helping the Chechyan rebels in Russia during the early 1990s… supposedly there is a book about her “heroic actions” to help the REBELS/Terrorists. She lives in Canada now.
Terror and jihad are standard practices practiced by the practitioners of Islam.
It’s what they do. It’s who they are.
Real Muslims don’t just talk the talk, they walk the walk.
If we all used the term “practitioners of Islam,” we would soon be called racists and begged to go back to using “Islamist.” Banning “islamist” is fine with me, it’s a limp coverup term anyway. My term is a much stronger criticism than “Islamist” could ever be.
On this Boston bombing, the entire argument of the left is going to be that it’s obvious that these guys aren’t real Muslims — they can’t be because they’re white! Besides, when white people do bad things then it’s all white people’s fault! They are taking so long because they are trying to figure out the spin on this…
All discussion of the perpetrators will be red herrings about problems in Russia/Chechnya and how the white man oppressed someone somewhere. What will never be discussed is the dangerous practices of Islam, and practitioners of Islam who practice them.
I noticed from the coverage from my part of the globe that president 0 avoided the terror word. Bombs were touched off in a crowd. Terrorism doesn’t matter who did it or why it’s terrorism so, why did he not describe it as such?
The second thing I noticed was the almost desperate hope from some segments for the perp to be a local white.
The thought that the perps would have been easily and quickly caught if they were local whites may be correct but for a different reason than the wish of the authorities that it be such a person. The authorities should be given the benefit of the doubt here because there is a second reason available for their failure to instantly solve the case.
This different reason would be that local whites tend to have a much wider range of local acquaintances than immigrants, who may keep to themselves more and whose relatives may live abroad and be disinclined to tip the authorities. So the authorities, in those cases where the perp(s) are local whites, stand a better chance of getting a lot of tips fast, both because the public knows more, and because more of the ones who know enough to tip the authorities live here.
Well, they are from the Caucasian area of Russia… so little obama got a part of his desperate wish… Salon too.
Obama be careful what you wish for next… ok, you dolt!
