				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ibragim.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-190402" alt="ibragim" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/ibragim-450x337.jpg" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>We started out with two lone wolves. Which is one more than a lone wolf should be. <a href="http://scaredmonkeys.com/2013/05/22/man-shot-dead-ibragim-todashev-by-fbi-agent-reportedly-knew-boston-bombing-suspect-tamerlan-tsarnaev/">Now a third man, Ibragim Todashev,</a> a Muslim associate of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was shot dead by an FBI agent. Presumably for cause.</p>
<p>So now maybe we have three lone wolves. Not counting the other three who helped cover up for the Tsarnaevs and have been charged for it. So now it&#8217;s six lone wolves.</p>
<p>That is a lot of lone wolves. Maybe it even counts as a pack of lone wolves.</p>
<p>The F<a href="http://scaredmonkeys.com/2013/05/22/man-shot-dead-ibragim-todashev-by-fbi-agent-reportedly-knew-boston-bombing-suspect-tamerlan-tsarnaev/">lorida story is still developing,</a> but here is some of what we do know&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A man who was shot dead by an FBI agent late Tuesday night in Orlando knew one of the suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings, a man identified as friend of the victim said Wednesday.</p>
<p>The agent encountered the man while conducting official duties, agent Dave Couvertier said in a statement.</p>
<p>A man at the scene on Peregrine Avenue near Kirkman and Vineland roads who identified himself as a friend of the victim said the man knew Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the older brother suspected in the April 15 bombings that killed three and injured more than 260.</p>
<p>Khusen Taramov said he and his friend had no connection with the Boston bombings, but the FBI had been questioning them since then.</p>
<p>Miller reported that FBI agents went to Todashev’s apartment complex after midnight Wednesday morning to question him. Todashev had been on the bureau’s radar since Tsarnaev was identified as a suspect in the bombing.</p>
<p>“He had been interviewed along with a number of other people in the apartment complex, but the interest in him was higher because of a couple of factors: He was in contact with Tamerlan Tsarnaev. He had been to Boston to visit him, and he was planning a trip to Chechnya,” Miller said.</p>
<p>FBI agents went to question him overnight after there were indications that he canceled that trip, Miller said.</p>
<p>“In the encounter in the apartment, something went wrong,” Miller said.</p></blockquote>
<p>Things often seem to go wrong when interacting with Muslims. Might be a lone wolf thing.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/muslim-anti-semitism.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-189090" alt="muslim anti-semitism" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/muslim-anti-semitism-450x324.jpg" width="450" height="324" /></a></p>
<p>The story has been around before, but now there is forensic backing for what was just a theory. And the <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/mounting-evidence-boston-bombers-involved-2011-triple-murder/story?id=19151271#.UY1FUrW7N8E">evidence doesn&#8217;t just link Tamerlan Tsanraev to the murders,</a> but his brother as well.</p>
<blockquote><p>Massachusetts investigators have developed what they call &#8220;mounting evidence,&#8221; bolstered by &#8220;forensic hits,&#8221; that point to the possible involvement of both Tamerlan Tsarnaev and his younger brother Dzhokhar in a gruesome, unsolved triple homicide in 2011, law enforcement officials told ABC News.</p>
<p>In the wake of the Marathon bombings, Middlesex County began to probe a link between the elder Tsarnaev and Brendan Mess, one of the three men killed in the gruesome slaying on Sept. 11, 2011. Officials said Mess and two men were found in a Waltham residence with their throats slit and their bodies covered with marijuana. Tamerlan and Mess were once roommates and did boxing and martial arts training together.</p>
<p>Mess and his friends, Erik Weissman, 31, and Raphael Teken, 37, had ordered dinner from Gerry&#8217;s Italian Kitchen at 8:54 p.m., but when a delivery woman arrived twenty minutes later there was no answer at the door and no one answered a call to Weissman&#8217;s cell phone, from which the order was placed.</p>
<p>Roughly seven pounds of marijuana was dumped on the bodies and $5,000 in cash was left behind. Neighbors said they did not hear any signs of trouble – even with open windows – and there was no forced entry. In a 2011 interview, Leone said investigators theorized there had been more than one person at the scene of the murders based on &#8220;many factors,&#8221; but no suspects were identified.</p>
<p>Then, Gerry&#8217;s Italian Kitchen became a focal point again on April 24, nine days after the Marathon bombing, after investigators removed a Planet Aid charity donation bin from its parking lot. A driver had discovered discarded fireworks inside and law enforcement sources told ABC News the gunpowder had been removed from the cartridges.</p>
<p>It is unclear how the Tsarnaev brothers were associated with Gerry&#8217;s Italian Kitchen, if at all, but looking back, multiple residents of Waltham and Watertown remember Tamerlan Tsarnaev delivering food to their homes and Tsarnaev family members have told reporters the brothers worked as pizza deliverymen. The eatery&#8217;s management, however, steadfastly denied that either Tsarnaev brother worked there.</p>
<p>Now law enforcement officials tell ABC News that some crime scene forensic evidence provided a match to the two Tsarnaev brothers. The officials also said records of cell phones used by the Tsarnaevs appears to put them in the area of the murders on that date.</p>
<p>The officials cautioned that until more definitive DNA testing is complete, it is still too early to consider bringing an indictment against the younger of the two brothers.</p></blockquote>
<p>The<a href="http://www.ci.watertown.ma.us/Archive.aspx?ADID=824"> owner of Gerry&#8217;s Italian Kitchen </a>appears to be <a href="http://www.manta.com/c/mmqg584/gerry-s-italian-kitchen">the not-very-Italian, Suhail Oweis</a>. Based on the name, Suhail is very likely Muslim. As part of Suhail&#8217;s commitment to all things Italian, <a href="http://www.ishcc.org/MA/Newton/ravioli-inc">Suhail Oweis owns Ravioli, Inc</a> which is probably also <a href="http://ma.mingluji.com/business_directory/Raviolis_Brick_Oven_Pizzaria">Raviolis Brick Oven Pizzaria</a>. And then <a href="http://whois.domaintools.com/sikwaltham.org">there&#8217;s Sabastinos Italian Kitchen</a>.</p>
<p>And also possibly a <a href="http://companies.findthecompany.com/l/29580934/Global-Processing-Systems-Limited-Partnership-in-Norwood-MA">Global Processing Systems</a> and s<a href="http://www.ishcc.org/MA/Waltham/wcd-inc">omething called WCD. Inc</a>. Also involved is a Samir Lweis. These interact with Bassam Enterprises, which appears to own at least one of these businesses, and whose owner has links to the Saudi, Qatari and UAE embassies.</p>
<p>In other words, nothing suspicious to see here.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dzhokahar-in-Times-Square-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-187949" alt="Dzhokahar in Times Square (2)" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Dzhokahar-in-Times-Square-2-450x252.jpg" width="450" height="252" /></a></p>
<p>UPDATE: &#8220;<a href="http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/05/01/kadyrbayev-boston-bombing/2127387/">Kadyrbayev&#8217;s VK &#8220;world view&#8221; is Islam,</a> his &#8220;personal priority&#8221; is listed as &#8220;improving the world&#8221; and next to &#8220;Important in others&#8221; he has listed &#8220;kindness and honesty.&#8221; He has listed his views on smoking and alcohol as &#8220;very negative.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/05/breaking-boston-police-take-three-more-boston-marathon-jihad-bombing-suspects-into-custody.html">3 suspects in tota</a>l. Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev are Kazakh Muslims, but the third, Robel Phillipos, is of uncertain religion and may have been one of the non-Muslim classmates who are still supporting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.</p>
<p>Azamat Tazhayakov and Dias Kadyrbayev <a href="http://hinterlandgazette.com/2013/05/robel-phillipos-idd-3rd-suspect-arrested-boston-marathon-bombing-case.html">are charged with conspiracy </a>to obstruct justice. Those are the more serious charges. They&#8217;re also in on immigration violations, so if nothing else they may at least be kicked out of the country.</p>
<p>Robel is only charged with making false statements, probably because he came clean first. Robel may not be a Muslim, so unlike the two Kazakhs, he had less skin in the game and may have only been trying to help out a man he thought was his friend. Unlike them, Robel is also a US citizen.</p>
<p>The indictment describes the two Kazakh Muslims &#8220;freaking out&#8221; and speaking hurriedly in Russian, which Robel Phillipos did not understand.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dias Kadyrbayev, Azamat Tazhayakova and Robel Phillipos, all described as friends of Tsarnaev at UMass-Dartmouth, allegedly wnt to Tsarnaev&#8217;s dorm and took a laptop, the backpack and some Vaseline that may have been used in making the deadly pressure cooker bombs that killed three and injured more than 200 at the race. An FBI affidavit filed in support of a complaint said Kadyrbayev was the one who carried out the disposal of the backpack, according to authorities.</p>
<p>&#8220;Kadyrbayev knew when he saw the empty fireworks that Tsarnaev was involved in the Marathon bombing,&#8221; the affidavit reads. &#8220;Kadyrbayev decided to remove the backpack from the room in order to help his friend Tsarnaev avoid trouble.&#8221;</p>
<p>The three acted on Thursday, after investigators aired surveillance footage identifying Tsarnaev and his older brother Tamerlan as the suspects in the bombing, though not by name, according to authorities. Phillipos first saw footage depicting Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the news Thursday, and told Kadyrbayev over the phone that he suspected their friend was the bomber. When Kadyrbayev later texted Tsarnaev and said he bore a resemblance to the subject of an intense manhunt, Tsarnaev sent back a chilling response: &#8220;Lol,&#8221; he allegedly wrote. &#8220;You better not text me.&#8221;</p>
<p>Although the three new suspects initially appear to have stonewalled authorities, Phillipos came clean in a fourth interview, conducted April 26. He confessed that the three took the backpack out of their friend&#8217;s room, according to the affidavit.</p></blockquote>
<p>The non-Muslim proved to be the weak link. Kazakhstan is moderate on paper, but as this case reminds us, those terms don&#8217;t have that much meaning once religious solidarity comes into play.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/marathon-woman-red_2538928b.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-187614" alt="marathon-woman-red_2538928b" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/marathon-woman-red_2538928b-450x280.jpg" width="450" height="280" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p>Nadine Ascencao, 24, said Tamerlan made her wear an Islamic hijab and pray to Allah and slapped her when she wore Western clothes. But she was so blindly in love with the handsome boxer who had taken her virginity, she did her utmost to make him happy.</p></blockquote>
<p>This is a familiar story for Western women and girls who get into relationships with Muslims. It just doesn&#8217;t always end in terrorism. <a href="http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/boston-terrorists-ex-girlfriend-he-tried-to-brainwash-me-to-convert-and-hate-the-u-s/">Nadine Ascencao was lucky to</a> get out when she did because from <a href="http://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2013/04/29/boston-terrorists-ex-girlfriend-he-tried-to-brainwash-me-to-convert-and-hate-the-u-s/">her story it&#8217;s clear that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was recruiting a collaborator</a> in terrorism.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nadine said: “I went to his mosque a couple of times and even looked into converting to make him happy. I thought, ‘This is crazy’ — but I still did it for him.</p>
<p>“Tamerlan had taken my virginity and said he loved me because I was pure and hadn’t been with any other guys. I was in love and scared he’d leave me if I didn’t do what he said. Looking back I had a lucky escape.”</p>
<p>Tamerlan, 26, who with 19-year-old brother Dzhokhar killed three people and injured 260 when they exploded two bombs at the Boston marathon, started dating Nadine in 2006 when she was 17.</p>
<p>During their three-year relationship she watched him change from a cannabis-smoking, party-loving teenager into a violent extremist.</p>
<p>She said: “One minute he’s this funny, normal guy who liked boxing and having fun, the next he is praying four times a day, watching Islamic videos and talking insane nonsense.</p>
<p>“He became extremely religious and tried to brainwash me to follow Islam. Tamerlan said I couldn’t be with him unless I became a Muslim. He wanted me to hate America like he did.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Instead he found a girl who would join him in his mosque and in his hate.</p>
<blockquote><p>And she was heartbroken when she learned he was secretly seeing another girl. Her rival was Katherine Russell, a student who was to become Tamerlan’s wife after converting to Islam. Crafty Tamerlan was soon playing the two women off against one another.</p>
<p>Nadine said: “He once made me learn a verse of an Islamic prayer and if I got it wrong he’d say, ‘Well Katherine can do it’.”</p></blockquote>
<p>And now we learn how the domestic violence incident happened and why.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tamerlan even attacked Nadine when he found her heading off to a friend’s pool party wearing cut-off jeans and a crop top.</p>
<p>She said: “He was shouting and screaming at me. He slapped me across the face really hard.”</p>
<p>Nadine called the police and Tamerlan was arrested and spent a night in the cells. Once out on bail he begged Nadine’s forgiveness.</p>
<p>But as soon as she dropped the charges Tamerlan dumped her and moved in with Katherine. Nadine’s relationship was over and within six months Katherine was pregnant with Tamerlan’s daughter.</p></blockquote>
<p>The New York Times&#8217; sympathetic pieces on the Muslim bombers minimized the attack and emphasized that the charges were dropped. (Yes, liberals easily learn to love the War on Women when it&#8217;s carried out by Muslims.)</p>
<p>Nadine&#8217;s story is another reminder that the Hijab is not empowering. It&#8217;s an abusive tool of abusive men. The idea that it&#8217;s a choice is Islamist propaganda.</p>
<p>And we now also know that Tamerlan was a pothead and that his switch to Islamic religiosity (not all that unusual of a transition among Muslim men in the West who turn religious after a few years of partying) was not associated with some boxing defeat, as the New York Times tried to pretend, but was inexplicable even to his girlfriend.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-york-times-loves-terror.png"><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-187424" alt="new york times loves terror" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/new-york-times-loves-terror-438x350.png" width="438" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>There is no way to know what tomorrow may bring. There may be floods and there may be hurricanes. There may be muggings and murders. But the one thing we can be sure of is that the parade of sympathetic stories about the Muslim terrorists who bombed the Boston Marathon will continue.</p>
<p>The terrorist propagandists ply their trade with the same relentlessness that terrorists like Tamerlan Tsarnaev ply theirs. They have no sense of right and wrong and no sense of decency either.</p>
<p>And so the paper of record, whose record is that of defending terrorists, is at it again. Before the Boston Marathon bombings, the New York Times ran an op-ed from one of Osama bin Laden&#8217;s bodyguards whining about his hunger strike. After the bombings, it keeps running sympathetic pieces about the bombers.</p>
<p>The latest such piece tries to spin a new narrative that Tamerlan Tsarnaev only turned to terrorism because immigration rules at the Golden Gloves prevented him from competing.</p>
<p>The narrative contradicts much of what we know from other sources. Tamerlan Tsarnaev told his father that he was giving up boxing because he believed it was against Islam. And Tamerlan Tsarnaev had lost an earlier match, though the New York Times insists, based on a quote from his coach, that he really should have won.</p>
<p>And there you go. A perfectly nice Chechen loses a boxing match and then gets shut out from the competition for a year until he gets his citizenship. And then he gets shut out from obtaining citizenship due to domestic violence and terrorism and he has no choice but to turn to terrorism.</p>
<p>The narrative is slimy and dishonest. And it points toward Appeasement Avenue.</p>
<p>The idea is that if you don&#8217;t give a Muslim everything he wants, if you don&#8217;t bend over backward to provide him with special treatment, he may turn to terrorism. And then you&#8217;re responsible for the murders of those he kills.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s obscene. It&#8217;s self-destructive. It&#8217;s liberalism.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/jedwards_78793351_ethayer.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-187330" alt="jedwards_78793351_ethayer" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/jedwards_78793351_ethayer.jpg" width="400" height="350" /></a></p>
<p>Obama told everyone that the sequester would be a horrible disaster. And he was right. Just imagine poor Dzhokhar Tsarnaev&#8217;s lawyers having to skip through four paragraphs on how he was abused by American drones as a child or <a href="http://sweetness-light.com/archive/furloughs-may-limit-jokars-public-defender#.UXrIPrW7N8E">how he suffers from Compulsive Jihad Syndrome</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>As the federal public defender office in Boston prepares to defend Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the 19-year-old charged in the Boston Marathon bombings, the lawyers involved face an added challenge: managing the case in the midst of furloughs.</p>
<p>Federally mandated budget cuts known as sequestration could force Tsarnaev’s lawyers to take up to 15 days of unpaid leave before the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30. Lawyers familiar with the office said it is feeling the pinch in other ways, including leaving vacant positions unfilled.</p>
<p>&#8220;There’s no doubt that the sequester is going to affect the administration of justice in general, in Boston, and with this case specifically,&#8221; said John Cunha Jr. of Boston’s Cunha &amp; Holcomb, former president of the Massachusetts Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.</p></blockquote>
<p>Or alternatively, it&#8217;s going to prevent the Muslim terrorist&#8217;s lawyers from  affecting the administration of justice.</p>
<blockquote><p>Thirteen attorneys serve in the Boston federal public defender office. The furloughs would coincide with the early weeks of Tsarnaev’s defense, which Cunha said is a &#8220;crucial&#8221; time. &#8220;You start to figure out where you are and where the government is and where they’re going to go and how to protect this person’s rights.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>I presume none of the lawyers eager to use taxpayer money to protect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev&#8217;s rights from Americans lost any legs at the marathon.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-187149" alt="870591-katherine-russell-wife-of-tamerlan-tsarnaev" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/870591-katherine-russell-wife-of-tamerlan-tsarnaev-450x300.jpg" width="450" height="300" /></p>
<p>Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva&#8217;s family is still insisting that she knew nothing, <a href="http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/feds-further-investigating-role-bombers-wife_719130.html">but if this report pans out,</a> then she didn&#8217;t just passively accept Islam, she actively engaged with it and may have known about the plot all along. At the very least this would make her <a href="http://iowntheworld.com/blog/?p=182888">an accessory after the fact</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Dzokhar Tsarnaev told interrogators that the information that set in motion the series of events leading to Tamerlan’s death and Dzokhar’s apprehension came in a phone call from Katherine Russell Tsarnaeva to her husband. “She notified him and there certainly didn’t seem to be any notion of surprise – just a report that ‘you’re being watched,’” said one official with knowledge of the investigation.</p>
<p>Tsarnaev had seen the photographs and videos distributed by the FBI on television and called her husband to give him a heads up.After receiving that phone call, authorities believe, Tamerlan decided he could not continue to hide from law enforcement and triggered the brothers’ bizarre flight from authorities – a wild chase that included the murder of an MIT police officer, a convenience-store robbery, a carjacking, shootouts with police officers, the death of Tamerlan and the capture of Dzokhar.</p></blockquote>
<p>You&#8217;re being watched is not &#8220;What the hell is going on&#8221; or &#8220;This is crazy, let me call a lawyer and we can help prove you didn&#8217;t do it.&#8221; Those would be expected responses. This is closer to the range of, &#8220;They know it&#8217;s you.&#8221;</p>
<p>It&#8217;s likely that Tamerlan&#8217;s illegal activities didn&#8217;t begin with the attack. The family was getting government assistance while Tamerlan worked odd jobs, but at the same time there seemed to be plenty of money. The obvious explanation, and this would be somewhat typical, is that Tamerlan was engaged in criminal activities, and it&#8217;s unlikely that his wife didn&#8217;t know about them.</p>
<p>We already know that the younger brother was involved in<a href="http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2013/04/24/dzhokhar_tsarnaev_junior_s_auto_body_boston_suspect_reportedly_sold_pot.html"> all sorts of shady side businesses</a>. It&#8217;s likely that the older brother was too. And if Tamerlan trusted his wife&#8217;s conversion, then he would have told her, as a good Muslim, what his plans are. Jihadists in Europe routinely told their wives what they were doing.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-187127" alt="bowler dubai" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/bowler-dubai.jpg" width="512" height="384" /></p>
<p>As <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/boston-jihad-bomber-clams-up-after-being-read-miranda-rights.html">FOX News reported and Robert Spencer noted,</a> Dzhokhar Tsarnaev stopped talking once he was prematurely read his Miranda rights. That helps the authorities establish the lone wolf narrative. Whatever else we might have learned from him is probably lost.</p>
<blockquote><p>Once Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was read his rights on Monday, he immediately stopped talking, according to four officials of both political parties who were briefed on the interrogation but insisted on anonymity because the briefing was private.</p>
<p>After roughly 16 hours of questioning, investigators were surprised when a magistrate judge and a representative from the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office entered the hospital room and read Tsarnaev his rights, the four officials and one law enforcement official said. Investigators had planned to keep questioning him.</p></blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/boston-jihad-murderer-vowed-to-die-for-islam.html">And</a></p>
<blockquote><p>District Court Judge Marianne Bowler arrived at the hospital where he is being treated to preside over his initial hearing Monday, when she read him his Miranda rights.</p>
<p>But Fox News&#8217; sources say there was confusion about Bowler&#8217;s timing, with some voicing concerns that investigators were not given enough time to question Dzhokhar under the &#8220;public safety exception&#8221; invoked by the Justice Department.</p>
<p>Two officials with knowledge of the FBI briefing on Capitol Hill said the FBI was against stopping the investigators&#8217; questioning and was stunned that the judge, Justice Department prosecutors and public defenders showed up, feeling valuable intelligence may have been sacrificed as a result.</p></blockquote>
<p>Judge Bowler has some interesting international connections. <a href="http://www.mad.uscourts.gov/bbc/pdf/BOWLERMarianne.pdf">She is a member of the</a> Member of the International Judicial Relations Committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States.</p>
<p>Apparently in that capacity, she visited and spoke on legal issues at a number of Muslim countries, becoming the first female judge to speak in Kuwait, appearing also in Egypt and in the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>Oddly enough, aside from a visit to the US embassy in Belgrade, those are the only international appearances that she lists and they all take place in Muslim countries.</p>
<p>While Islamic infiltration of our political system is well known, the infiltration of our legal system is less well known, but operates within similar parameters with foreign contacts being made. There is no way of knowing how much Bowler has been influenced by her connections with the legal and political systems of the Muslim world, but it is telling that her international judicial relations appear to begin and end with the Muslim world.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-187123" alt="martyrs-for-islam_muslim-brotherhood" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/martyrs-for-islam_muslim-brotherhood.jpg" width="320" height="221" /></p>
<p>Media still unclear as to motive, but boxing injuries and capitalism are suspected to be the cause. And so at the end of the long road from Tea Party terrorist protesting taxes, we come right back to where we started with Islamic terrorism.</p>
<p>Tamerlan Tsarnaev didn&#8217;t talk about wanting to die for Chechnya. If he had, he could have gone to join the fighting there. <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/boston-jihad-murderer-vowed-to-die-for-islam.html">He wanted to die for Islam</a>. And like so many Jihadists he got his wish, before an ACLU lawyer could step in.</p>
<blockquote><p>Boston Marathon bomber Tamerlan Tsarnaev sent text messages to his mother as early as 2011 suggesting he was willing to die for Islam, the FBI told lawmakers this week according to two officials with knowledge of the Capitol Hill briefing.</p></blockquote>
<p>Once again, it&#8217;s clear that the supposed radicalization was not brief or recent. Tamerlan had turned his thoughts to terrorism a while back, not just in the spring when a  young man&#8217;s fancies turn to love and a young Jihadist&#8217;s fancies turn to killing innocent people.</p>
<p>At the time when the FBI interviewed him, he was already a terrorist-in-waiting and he wasn&#8217;t shy about mentioning that or even broadcasting it.</p>
<p>The interesting question will be what he told the FBI agents who interviewed him. Tamerlan was not exactly subtle as incidents like these testify to. He reportedly tried to convert the FBI agent to Islam. Did the FBI agent ask him whether he was interested in participating in a Jihad and would Tamerlan have even lied about it if asked?</p>
<p>The Russians had repeatedly warned that Tamerlan was a threat. A look at his text messages would have confirmed it. Regular monitoring of social media would have given early warning to his plans to go Jihadist.</p>
<p>Tamerlan got his wish to die for Islam because the people who should have been paying attention to Muslim terrorists in this country, weren&#8217;t.</p>

		<description><![CDATA["He was angry that the world pictures Islam as a violent religion,” Mr. Khozhugov said. ]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186961" alt="newsweek-muslim-rage" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/newsweek-muslim-rage.jpg" width="360" height="488" /></p>
<p>Experts in the field of interfaith appeasement are still uncertain why Americans think Islam is a violent religion. Many courageous fighters against prejudice have tried to get the word out that Islam is a Religion of Peace. <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/24/us/boston-marathon-bombing-developments.html?hp&amp;pagewanted=all&amp;_r=0">One of them tried to spread the word at the Boston Marathon</a>, but <a href="http://justoneminute.typepad.com/main/2013/04/and-sometimes-the-medium-is-not-the-message.html">his message was misunderstood </a>and now Americans seem to think more than ever that Islam is a violent religion.</p>
<p>The only way to break this cycle is to convince Americans that Islam really is peaceful and then the peaceful religion will stop killing us. And if that doesn&#8217;t work, the government is setting aside a stimulus plan for digging head-shaped holes in the dirt for every American.</p>
<blockquote><p> Elmirza Khozhugov, 26, the ex-husband of Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s younger sister, Ailina, said that Tamerlan Tsarnaev had been enamored of conspiracy theories, and that he was also concerned by the wars in the Middle East.</p>
<p>“He was looking for connections between the wars in the Middle East and oppression of Muslim population around the globe,” Mr. Khozhugov said in an e-mail. “It was very hard to argue with him on themes somehow connected to religion. On the other hand, he did not hate Christians. He respected their faith. Never said anything bad about other religions. But he was angry that the world pictures Islam as a violent religion.”</p></blockquote>
<p>One of the ways that <a href="http://patdollard.com/2013/04/jihadi-bomber-bible-is-a-cheap-copy-of-the-koran/">Tamerlan Tsarnaev respected Christianity</a> was by saying things like: &#8220;the Bible is a cheap copy of the Koran” and &#8220;the United States goes to war based on the Bible.&#8221; It&#8217;s clear that Tamerlan was trying to be respectful by giving the impression that Christianity was just like Islam.</p>
<p>Since then a magnificent amount of progress has been made. Americans no longer think of Islam as a violent religion. They think of it as the reason why an 8-year-old boy was murdered.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Russian authorities alerted the US government not once but ``multiple’’ times over their concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev -- including a second time nearly a year after he was first interviewed by FBI agents in Boston]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-186948" alt="Boston-Marathon-Bombing-US-flags" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Boston-Marathon-Bombing-US-flags.jpg" width="420" height="270" /></p>
<p>It<a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/04/fail-russia-contacted-fbi-several-times-about-islamist-tamerlan-tsarnaev/"> is becoming clear that there was ample</a> warning that there was ample warning that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a threat and that he needed to be deported.</p>
<blockquote><p>Russian authorities alerted the US government not once but &#8220;multiple’’ times over their concerns about Tamerlan Tsarnaev &#8212; including a second time nearly a year after he was first interviewed by FBI agents in Boston &#8212; raising new questions about whether the FBI should have focused more attention on the suspected Boston Marathon bomber, according to US senators briefed on the probe Tuesday.</p>
<p>The FBI has previously said it interviewed Tsarnaev in early 2011 after it was initially contacted by the Russians. After that review, the FBI has said, it determined he did not pose a threat.</p>
<p>In a closed briefing on Tuesday, members of the Senate Intelligence Committee learned that Russia alerted the United States about Tsarnaev in &#8220;multiple contacts’’ &#8212; including &#8220;at least once since October 2011,’’ said Richard Burr, a Republican of North Carolina, speaking with reporters afterward.</p>
<p>Senators said the briefing also revealed failures among federal agencies to share vital information about Tsarnaev, indicating, they said, that the US government still has not established a strong system to &#8220;connect the dots’’ about would-be terrorists residing in America more than a decade after 9/11.</p></blockquote>
<p>You can&#8217;t connect the dots if you can&#8217;t address motive. Without Islam as the motive, there was no reason to believe that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a threat to anyone but Russia. The FBI, under the influence of political correctness, likely chose to see him as a Chechen nationalist. But a Chechen nationalist is generally a Muslim terrorist. And Muslim terrorists don&#8217;t limit their sphere of terror to just one country.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-186943" alt="Tsarnaeva-Portra_2543455k" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Tsarnaeva-Portra_2543455k.jpg" width="515" height="322" /></p>
<p>The Muslim attitude toward terrorists comes in three layers. The outer layer is, &#8220;Terrorism has nothing to do with Islam.&#8221; The middle layer is, &#8220;It&#8217;s a conspiracy, they were set up.&#8221; The inner layer is, &#8220;Allah Akbar.&#8221;</p>
<p>The mother of the two Boston bombers is tossing aside the <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/04/whoa-zubeidat-tsarnaeva-tells-cnn-i-dont-care-if-my-youngest-son-is-killed-i-dont-care-if-i-am-killed-i-will-say-allahu-akbar-video/">&#8220;It&#8217;s a conspiracy layer&#8221; to get to the inner trut</a>h.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/muMu0ay9xJM?feature=player_embedded" height="360" width="540" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<blockquote><p>Zubeidat Tsarnaeva, the mother of Boston Marathon bombers Tamerlan and Tzhokhar Tsarnaevso, made these shocking statements on CNN tonight:</p>
<p>“If they are going to kill him. I don’t care. My oldest son is killed, so I don’t care. I don’t care if my youngest son is going to be killed today. I want the world to hear this. And, I don’t care if I am going to get killed too. And I will say Allahu Akbar!“</p></blockquote>
<p>Muslim terrorists like to say that they love death more than we love life. Terrorist mothers like to say that they raised their children for the Jihad. That they don&#8217;t care about them as people, only as living bombs who exist for no other purpose than to murder non-Muslims.</p>
<p>Zubeidat Tsarnaeva is living up to the Islamist expectations for a Muslim mother. She covered her head in black, sent her sons off to die and is screaming Allah Akbar to let the world know that this done in the name of the Muslim god.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186940" alt="muslim welfare" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/muslim-welfare.jpg" width="590" height="295" /></p>
<p>Welfare fraud is as Islamic as suicide bombings. UK Jihadist cleric Anjem Choudary <a href="http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2013/02/uk-islamic-preacher-urges-muslims-to-go-on-welfae-jizya-and-plot-jihad.html">described welfare fraud as the Jizya payment</a> that non-Muslims are obligated to make to Muslims. Jihadists routinely live off welfare while plotting terrorist attacks in Europe. And it&#8217;s routine for Muslim immigrants to sign up for every social benefits program they can, sometimes arranging fake divorces, describing wives as unmarried female relatives, to sign up as many of them as they can to siphoning off money from the Great Satan.</p>
<p>Tamerlan Tsarnaev was no different, s<a href="http://bostonherald.com/news_opinion/local_coverage/2013/04/tamerlan_tsarnaev_got_mass_welfare_benefits">ponging off his America wife&#8217;s parents and off the state</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Marathon bombings mastermind Tamerlan Tsarnaev was living on taxpayer-funded state welfare benefits even as he was delving deep into the world of radical anti-American Islamism, the Herald has learned.</p>
<p>State officials confirmed last night that Tsarnaev, slain in a raging gun battle with police last Friday, was receiving benefits along with his wife, Katherine Russell Tsarnaev, and their 3-year-old daughter. The state’s Executive Office of Health and Human Services said those benefits ended in 2012 when the couple stopped meeting income eligibility limits. Russell Tsarnaev’s attorney has claimed Katherine — who had converted to Islam — was working up to 80 hours a week as a home health aide while Tsarnaev stayed at home.</p>
<p>In addition, both of Tsarnaev’s parents received benefits, and accused brother bombers Dzhokhar and Tamerlan were recipients through their parents when they were younger, according to the state.</p>
<p>The news raises questions over whether Tsarnaev financed his radicalization on taxpayer money.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course he did. The properly devout Muslim kills infidels and steals from them in the name of the Jihad. That is his Islamic duty. Tamerlan Tsarnaev grabbed an American girl, converted her to Islam, got her started pumping out Baby Jihadists while keeping her working to bring in money and used that cash to plot to murder her people.</p>
<p>That is Islam. From Tamerlan&#8217;s point of view, he was just doing what countless Muslim conquerors had been doing all along.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Who at the Boston Marathon was attacking Islam? Was a 8-year-old boy at war with Islam?]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-185902" alt="boston-marathon-2-600" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/boston-marathon-2-600.jpg" width="600" height="450" /></p>
<p>Due to Obama Inc&#8217;s refusal to treat the surviving Boston bomber as an enemy combatant, we&#8217;ll never know for certain whether the Muslim Boston bombers were working alone or associated with a terrorist group.  And even the term &#8216;working alone&#8217; is a misnomer considering that they got their bombmaking training and their propaganda from Jihadist sites that exist to enable detached &#8216;lone wolf&#8217; affiliates to carry out their attacks.</p>
<p>If Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had died, the way his brother had, then the question of motive would be buried under the usual random killer excuses. Unfortunately for the Terrorism Denial Camp, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev has already given the usual Islamic excuse. Not Islam as a secondary motive, but as a primary motive.<a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/boston-jihad-bomber-my-brother-planned-attack-because-he-wanted-to-defend-islam.html"> That old chestnut defending Islam</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Preliminary interviews with Dzhokhar Tsarnaev indicate the two brothers fit the classification of self-radicalized jihadists, the source said. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, wounded and held in a Boston hospital, said his brother wanted to defend Islam from attack, according to the source.</p></blockquote>
<p>Who at the Boston Marathon was attacking Islam? Was a 8-year-old boy at war with Islam?</p>
<p>To attack Islam is to prevent it from expanding. To be a non-Muslim is to be at war with Islam. To defend Islam is to kill non-Muslims.</p>
<p>In Islam, attack is indistinguishable from defense. To be a non-Muslim who insists on self-rule is to obstruct the peace of Islam. There can be no peace in the world as long as non-Muslims rule themselves in the Dar Al-Harb, rather than live as second class Dhimmis within the Dar-Al-Islam.</p>
<p>Islam is an identity. It treats any obstacles, including passive and unknowing obstacles, as active resistance. The active practice of any religion other than Islam is an attack on Islam. That is why Mohammed ordered the purge of Christians and Jews from territory under his control on his deathbed. In Egypt and elsewhere under Islamist rule, his followers are finishing the process.</p>
<p>The ultimate goal of the Salafist armies is to destroy every single non-Muslim, and for that matter Shiite, within their territories.</p>
<p>The Tsarnaev brothers were following this goal at the Boston Marathon. They were protecting the expansion and power of Islam by terrorizing and murdering infidels. They made no distinction between soldiers and civilians. Their only criteria was to murder as many Americans as possible in defense of the expansion of Islam.</p>
<p>Islam originally spread by the sword. Now it spreads by the bomb.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The three men were Jewish. One was Israeli. All three men had their throats cut and their friends now  suspect that the Boston bomber may have carried out the murder.]]></description>
				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186828" alt="Tamerlan-and-Dzhokhar-Tsarnaev-via-FBI-615x345" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Tamerlan-and-Dzhokhar-Tsarnaev-via-FBI-615x345.jpg" width="615" height="345" /></p>
<p>With Tamerlan Tsernaev&#8217;s death and the decision to charge his brother in civilian court, there are many questions to which we may never find the answers. One of them is a triple homicide that occurred on the tenth anniversary of the Muslim terrorist attacks of September 11. While the police at the time assumed that it was a drug murder, large quantities of drugs and money were left behind at the scene suggesting another motive.</p>
<p>The three men were Jewish. One was Israeli. And in the aftermath of Tamerlan Tsernaev&#8217;s killing spree, the triple murder of the three men, one of whom was supposedly his friend, <a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/23/tamerlan-tsarnaev-s-best-friend-brendan-mess-an-unsolved-killing.html">is being looked in a whole new light</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The bodies of 25-year-old Brendan Mess and two other men were found with their throats cut on September 12, 2011, in what police deemed a triple homicide related to the drug trade. The bodies were covered almost ceremoniously with marijuana. And $5,000 was found in the apartment. Also, there was no sign of forced entry, suggesting Mess knew the killer or killers.</p></blockquote>
<p>All three men <a href="http://mobile.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2011/09/16/autopsy_finds_waltham_murder_victims_had_throats_cuts/">had their throats cut</a>, which suggests passion, rather than a calculated hit. And <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/boston-bombers-former-friends-suspect-him-in-unsolved-triple">the friends of the three dead men, </a>Brendan Mess, Erik Weissman and Raphael Teken and of Tamerlan Tsernaev now suspect that the Boston bomber may have carried out the murder.</p>
<blockquote><p>The owner of the Wai Kru Mixed Martial Arts in Allston, John Allan, told reporters that Tsarnaev described Mess to him as his &#8220;best friend.&#8221;</p>
<p>So the Cambridge crew were surprised in the fall of 2011 that Tsarnaev didn&#8217;t show up at his best friend&#8217;s funeral. Now they see it as a clue. &#8220;Tam wasn&#8217;t there at the memorial service, he wasn&#8217;t at the funeral, he wasn&#8217;t around at all,&#8221; Ray said. &#8220;And he was really close with Brendan. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so weird when he said, &#8216;I don&#8217;t have any American friends.&#8217;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>There are two ways to read Tamerlan&#8217;s statement. The liberal reading has been alienation. The other reading is that Tamerlan was cutting himself off from the Americans he was going to kill.</p>
<p>The triple murder may have been his first step. There<a href="http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/04/23/tamerlan-tsarnaev-s-best-friend-brendan-mess-an-unsolved-killing.html"> are suggestions that one of the men</a> may have sold his younger brother some pot and their murder may have been part of his strategy for putting his little brother on the proper track. A track that ended with the marathon massacre.</p>
<p>Murdering three Jews and one Israeli with a knife on September 11 would have resonated with the Islamic mindset. In one of the grim ironies of this case, Mess&#8217; murder was initially used to suggest that Tamerlan was so distraught that he went off the rails and turned to terrorism. But it may have been the other way around all along&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>A few months after Mess&#8217; murder, Tsarnaev went to Russia for six months. His father, Anzor Tsarnaev, told the Associated Press his son stayed with him in the city of Makhachkala, in the region of Dagestan. &#8220;He slept until 3 p.m., and you know, I would ask him: &#8216;Have you come here to sleep?&#8217;&#8221; his father said. &#8220;He used to go visiting, here and there. He would go to eat somewhere. Then he would come back and go to bed.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Even for a Jihadist, the first murder may have taken an emotional toll. Having carried out his first act of Jihad, he escaped home, where he would be beyond the reach of investigators and be able to get in touch with whatever legacy of terrorism he wanted to carry out.</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://m.forward.com/articles/175264/slain-boston-bomb-suspect-tamerlan-tsarnaev-eyed-i/?utm_source=Sailthru&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=The%20Forward%20Today%20%28Monday-Friday%29&amp;utm_campaign=Daily_Newsletter_Mon_Thurs%202013-04-23">Larry Aaronson</a>, who taught Weissman at Cambridge Rindge &amp; Latin School, told the Globe after the murders that Weissman had an unusually diverse group of friends.</p></blockquote>
<p>His group of friends may have been too diverse.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_186695" style="width: 307px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img class="size-full wp-image-186695" alt="lathe_dr-haber1" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/lathe_dr-haber1.jpg" width="297" height="200" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Behold the post-racial future</p></div>
<p>What do George Zimmerman and Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev have in common? They&#8217;re both inconvenient minorities. Liberals assumed that Zimmerman was a white man who shot a black man based on his last name. His actual appearance and background were racially inconvenient.</p>
<p>Liberals were counting on the Boston bombers being white men to help them ram through the next phase of gun control and white privilege diatribes. Instead they were Chechen Muslims.</p>
<p>If George Zimmerman had been shot by a cop, then he would have been a member of a minority group. If Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had been denied service in a restaurant, they would have been proof that we are a racist country. But now they&#8217;re inconvenient and liberal pundits on MSNBC and Salon are scurrying to explain why they&#8217;re white or as good as white.</p>
<p>But what is white anyway? What defines a minority? The American left built everything around their construct of race the way that their ideological forebears built around class. The polarity required two groups. The oppressed and the oppressors. Membership was simple, but vague. What made one a member of the working class? Why were revolutionaries so often dilettantes from wealthy families?</p>
<p>The liberal construct of whiteness raises similar questions. The problem becomes obvious when minority status is imposed or taken away based on political convenience. Bill Clinton was the first black president, but Condoleezza Rice wasn&#8217;t really black.</p>
<p>Joan Walsh insists that Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev are white because they are from the Caucasus. But then again Aryans are from India. That leaves us no choice but to conclude that India is white. If we get really vague about boundaries, we can also include much of Asia and Iran. That whitens most of the human race which now consists of White-Chinese, White-Iranians and White-Indians.</p>
<p>Now it&#8217;s on to Africa. If white people originated from Africa, then by Joan Walsh&#8217;s infallible Caucasian logic, retroactively, the region must be white.</p>
<p>And now we&#8217;ve solved the great racial problem of the world. There are no more races. Only White-Africans, White-Asians and White-Europeans. Everyone is white now and everyone is privileged and everyone is racist.</p>
<p>Finally we can start looking at the content of character instead of skin color. At least until the Martians land.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-186709" alt="hillary 2016  button" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hillary-2016-button.jpg" width="485" height="461" /></p>
<p>There is a solution to this. It&#8217;s called deporting non-citizens with terrorist connections. But <a href="http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2013/04/tamerlan-tsarnaev-was-5th-person-since-9-11-to-participate-in-terrorist-activities-despite-being-under-federal-investigation/">that would be politically incorrect</a>. It&#8217;s much more politically correct to mop up the blood and then make excuses for them.</p>
<blockquote><p>A Republican-led House committee is asking the Obama administration for all information on the Boston bombing suspect once flagged for possible radical ties, saying the tragedy marks another intelligence failure and raises “serious questions about the efficacy of the federal counter-terrorism efforts.”</p>
<p>The letter was sent Saturday by the House Committee on Homeland Security to Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, National Intelligence Director James Clapper and FBI Director Robert Mueller.</p>
<p>In the letter, Committee Chairman Rep. Mike McCaul said bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev appears to be the fifth person since 9/11 to participate in a terror attack, despite being under FBI investigation.</p>
<p>McCaul, R-Texas, said the incidents “raise the most serious questions about the efficacy of the federal counter terrorism efforts.”</p>
<p>On Saturday, two U.S. law enforcement officials said the FBI was acting on information from the Russian intelligence security service that Tamerlan Tsarnaev was a follower of radical Islam.</p>
<p>“Yet Tsarnaev remained at liberty in this country to conduct the Boston attack, and it took days to publicly identify him as a suspect,” wrote McCaul, who wants the information by Friday.</p></blockquote>
<p>But as Hillary Clinton would say, &#8220;What difference does it make?&#8221; Four dead in Benghazi. Four dead in Boston. But those people don&#8217;t get a vote. Only designated victims do.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone  wp-image-186705" alt="Tamerlan-Tsarnaev" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/Tamerlan-Tsarnaev1.jpg" width="679" height="382" /></p>
<p>The <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887324235304578437131250259170.html?mod=WSJ_article_MoreIn_US">Wall Street Journal article, clearly based</a> on interviews with family members, has to be taken with a sizable grain of salt, but it does provide a partial motive force for Tamerlan&#8217;s transformation into an Islamic terrorist. It might have happened anyway, but the impression we are given is that a mother feeling out of place in this country and afraid of losing her son to his American wife dragged him toward Islam.</p>
<p>The problem though is that the picture of Tamerlan as secular is contradicted by his wife&#8217;s early conversion to Islam and her donning the Hijab. Clearly Tamerlan was not all that secular. He may have trended more Islamist and was toward the end approaching Wahhabi territory, denouncing hypocrisy (again if you believe the mosque-goers who are looking to distance themselves from him) and spewing Kufir all over the place.</p>
<blockquote><p>Once known as a quiet teenager who aspired to be a boxer, Tamerlan Tsarnaev delved deeply into religion in recent years at the urging of his mother, who feared he was slipping into a life of marijuana, girls and alcohol. Tamerlan quit drinking and smoking, gave up boxing because he thought it was in opposition to his religion, and began pushing the rest of his family to pursue stricter ways, his mother recalled.</p>
<p>&#8220;You know how Islam has changed me,&#8221; his mother, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal in Makhachkala, Dagestan, says he told her.</p>
<p>Tamerlan persuaded his mother to cover herself up, which she says at one point distressed her husband, Anzor. &#8220;He said, &#8216;You are being crazy, covering yourselves,&#8217;&#8221; she recalled her husband saying. She said that she told him, &#8220;This is what Islamic men should want. This is what I am supposed to do.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Here we already have a shift. The mother would like us to believe that she was the one driving him to be more Muslim, but it would seem that he was the one imposing Islamic law on his parents.</p>
<p>And what of his parents and his family background?</p>
<blockquote><p>Back in the 1940s, Anzor Tsarnaev&#8217;s parents were deported to Kyrgyzstan from their native Chechnya after Josef Stalin&#8217;s regime accused the Caucasian Muslim ethnic group of being Nazi collaborators.</p></blockquote>
<p>The accusation was factual. The Chechens did collaborate with the Nazis.</p>
<blockquote><p>Anzor was born and raised in Tokmok, a city not far from the capital of Bishkek. He was one of 10 siblings, many of whom went on to become lawyers.</p></blockquote>
<p>That last datum is less indicative of enterprise and more of the family&#8217;s status. The Tsarnaevs clearly had it.</p>
<blockquote><p>According to his sister, Anzor was fired from his job in Bishkek shortly after war broke out in Chechnya in 1999, the second time the Kremlin tried to quell a separatist insurgency there since the collapse of the Soviet Union. He started working as a mechanic. &#8220;He had to feed his family,&#8221; his sister said, suggesting that he was fired due to discrimination against Chechens that accompanied the war. &#8220;He fled only because of this persecution,&#8221; she said.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s possible that Anzor was fired for purely ethnic reasons, but it&#8217;s more likely that he was involved in some form of Chechen activism. His son&#8217;s first name, so different from those of the rest of the family, is revealing. It may have even become a self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186687" alt="article-2312588-196B7722000005DC-799_306x626" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/article-2312588-196B7722000005DC-799_306x626.jpg" width="306" height="626" /></p>
<p>The story of Katherine Russell, Tamerlan Tsarnaev&#8217;s American wife may be an all too unfortunate metaphor for what happens <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2312588/Boston-bombing-EXCLUSIVE-How-Katherine-Russell-Muslim-convert-widow-Tamerlan-Tsarnaev.html">when the liberal Eloi meet the Muslim Morlock</a>s.</p>
<p>Russell is portrayed as a typical product of the liberal system; nice, tolerant and eager to make the world a better place.</p>
<blockquote><p>At high school her personal motto was &#8216;Do something about it or stop complaining&#8217;. She dreamed of going to college and joining the Peace Corps.</p>
<p>The eldest of three daughters, to emergency physician Dr Warren Russell and nurse Judith, hers is a background steeped in the values of family and education.</p>
<p>It would be hard to imagine a childhood more rooted in America’s pilgrim heritage than Katherine’s.  It is in there in the names of the towns – Plymouth, Dorset, Greenwich – where many of her friends still live and writ large in the wholesome values of the one-time Honors student’s home life.</p></blockquote>
<p>And her parents could see no reason not to get on board with their daughter converting to Islam and marrying a Chechen Islamist. <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/10007326/Tamerlan-Tsarnaevs-wife-Katherine-Russell-wore-the-hijab-after-converting-to-Islam.html">That would be intolerant</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>Katherine Russell is believed to have married and had a daughter with Tamerlan Tsarnaev three years ago, having become a Muslim following her freshman year at Suffolk University in Boston.</p>
<p>Neighbours said that Mr and Mrs Russell had been &#8220;very supportive&#8221; of their daughter&#8217;s decision to take up Islam, which saw her begin wearing a veil covering her hair, in line with Muslim practice.</p>
<p>They said Ms Russell appeared not to return to university after her conversion and the birth of her daughter, who is thought to be called Zahara.</p></blockquote>
<p>And supportive is what you&#8217;re supposed to be. Who cares about the petty details.</p>
<blockquote><p>Katherine Russell, the widow of Boston bomb suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was &#8216;an all-American girl who was brainwashed&#8217; by her extremist husband according to one schoolfriend.</p>
<p>By the time she was 21 she had married him and borne his child, Zahara, now three. She had converted to Islam, hidden her tumble of chestnut hair beneath the hijab and undergone a change so profound that today few friends profess to truly understand it.</p>
<p>It was during that time that she converted and her youthful priorities appear to have changed as she left in 2010 without graduating.</p>
<p>By then her relationship with Tsaraev was intense. Not even his arrest for violently assaulting her in 2009 could change that.</p></blockquote>
<p>Of course not. Abusing women is part of an Islamic marriage. Once you tolerate part, then you have to tolerate the whole and blame yourself for what goes wrong.</p>
<p>The story of Katherine Russell is the story of Europe and America. It&#8217;s the story of what happens when you tolerate and tolerate until you&#8217;re wearing a Hijab and a black eye and your husband roams the streets murdering your friends and neighbors in the name of the religion you accepted even though you don&#8217;t really understand it.</p>
<p>And most tellingly of all, the only papers seeming to cover this angle of the story are British. The American press is still claiming that Tamerlan Tsarnaev&#8217;s had nothing to do with it.</p>
<p>Tolerance Uber Alles.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-186485" alt="HijackCoexist" src="http://cdn.frontpagemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/HijackCoexist.jpeg" width="534" height="414" /></p>
<p>I think we can safely stow the theory that this was about Chechnya in the attic trunk right next to Patriot&#8217;s Day and gun control. The <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323735604578437642076883194.html">Tsarnaev</a><br />
<a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424127887323735604578437642076883194.html"> terrorists had set out to kill Americans</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>The victim told police he was driven to a Shell Gas Station on Memorial Drive in Watertown. Inside the car, the brothers &#8220;declared to [the victim] that they were the Boston Marathon bombers and would not kill him because he wasn&#8217;t American,&#8221; the report said.</p>
<p>When the victim saw an opportunity to flee, he ran to a nearby gas station where he asked the owner to call 911, the report said.</p></blockquote>
<p>It would be moderately interesting to know who the victim was. Either way a Coexist sticker doesn&#8217;t prevent you from being carjacked and robber at gunpoint. It doesn&#8217;t even prevent you from being killed unless you&#8217;re a foreigner and not the race or nationality that they are looking for.</p>
<p>Was this a terrorist campaign aimed at Americans? We now have clear confirmation that it was.</p>
