    I could have missed something, but who is stereotyping people from the middle east?? I don't think that thinking some fanatic from the ME could possibly be a culprit for a terror bombing in the US is stereotyping, and it's not like people wouldn't be thinking it if the media didn't mention it.... If fact, if the media tried to pretend that the possibility of it being an Islamic terrorist wasn't a factor worth mentioning, they'd look like idiots.

    pending verification of story ...

    they turned a flight around because two guys who looked like they were from the middle east were aboard a flight and talking to each other in a foreign language ... police took these guys off the flight and questioned them ... if that's cool to you ... so be it ... i personally think its abhorrent ...
    Not sure what that has to do with my comment... profiling on the part of the authorities, wow, that is a WHOLE other conversation.

    per a Fox News poll ...


    By a wide 62-20 percent margin, voters think homegrown terrorists are more likely than Islamic terrorists to have been behind the Boston attacks. Nineteen percent are unsure.

    10 incidents isn't exactly widespread.

    Don't act like you walk around not seeing the color of people's skin. The American public has good reason to think that Middle East terror could possibly be involved. That stereotype isn't unfounded.

    soo ... 10 incidents are ok to you then? ... if so ... fine ... again - i will ask because no one will answer ... what good is this speculative information to anyone?

    so ... america so proud on it's liberties and freedoms and justice now feels its ok to stereotype people of the middle east!??

    Simply. Yes

    I don't believe that at any time in the history of the world has there been a lack of morons. Good luck trying to tell yourself there won't be.

    We have groups based in the Middle East that have openly pledged to destroy our country. Until further notice from them I'm okay with double standards and jumping to conclusion when bombs blow up in the streets of Boston.

    So you are ok with shoot 1st ask ???? later ..

    Shoot what? I said it was okay with me to suspect Middle East terror before anyone else. They have a bit of history in this country....

    and I just arrived, don't know where it went from the OP...
    I hope not another division.

    We were in the Milwaukee airport people gathering around every available TV.
    When you see that these days you know it's something hideous. And it was.

    I couldn't help but think about where we had just come from.
    That sadness so pure with lasting love. Holding onto hope and a fighting will to live...
    Not unlike these victims.

    Senseless, vicious, hateful ...
    selfishly I was glad to know one small lovely old women would not know of it.
    Leave her with her lovely pictures and music, I wish I could stay there too.

    I think the fact that no one has claimed responsibility makes people start assuming it's not Islamic terrorists. Makes sense. But still, who knows? Not any of us.

    i believe isnt an easy conversation this one,the topic is sensitive,when a bomb explode in the streets of a big city at usa with so many people around at a big sport event,things are different than any other political conversation..we are talking about attack that effect safety of people,and with all those mixed informations coming from media,so many assuming things..so isnt easy..
    its mixed the feelings,of anger,sadness,fear,want revenge.,not easy to control your thoughts..

    Very true... I think there is a thread in AET where people can leave condolences and whatnot. This thread is for discussing the event from all sides, and I think people need to be able to do that under these kinds of circumstances (without being accused of being insensitive). :)

    These pictures should lead to some kind of an arrest.

    One thing about 24 hour news: because they are constantly attempting to update this story that's taken over the "news", most of what they report is unofficial. In other words, speculation, not facts.
