agreed, that does not mean there are not muslim terror groups, and these groups need to be dealt with, and saying so does not make one a bigot.

Yes, but we don't even have evidence saying that they were even a part of a terrorist group in the first place, all we know is that they were of the Islamic faith.

Well, yes. It's a tough situation there. And it doesn't need to be expensive. All they need is two meals a day, a bed, a toilet and for walls.

How funny, I remember hearing that line about Christians in plenty of threads. I'm not saying all Islamic people are terrorists, but they will have to deal with the consequences. It's not right, but it's reality.

So punish all of the Islamic people because of these two idiots? Then we are just as bad as they are.

They're family- if my siblings did such a thing, I'd simply refuse to believe it as well. I simply would not be able to understand it and would hit immediate and total denial.

Ok. They were Islamic, Chechen and terrorists using an Al-Qaeda technique. It sounds to me that Al-Qaeda may be using some Chechen insurgents they supported during the Chechen Wars. Not these two specifically, but Chechnya probably has some terrorist problems still.

Life imprisonment is cheaper than humane capital punishment, it's not oppressive, it's reversible, and it's necessary.


The reversible part is true, yes.

But it's not cheaper, you're housing, feeding, and caring for a man for the rest of his life. It's oppressive, because you are putting a man in a 12ft by 12ft room until he dies. And for that reason, I don't really think it's all that different than the death penalty. The objective of both is to take the individual off the streets for eternity, The only real difference is that one actually kills people. The other merely deprives people of their freedom, and their lives of any notable value, until they die from some other reason.
Sometimes I'm reading through military threads here, and I stop and think "What the hell is wrong with all of us?" But then I get on Facebook, and realize I'd rather be insane than an idiot.

Never said the state had to punish. I'm just stating that the reality is that the common person is going to be scared of Islamic faith members.

That doesn't mean that I can't tell you that speculating on something we don't know that much is bad. First Amendment too.

I'd rather not have such rampant speculation anyhow; it makes it much harder to get an impartial jury if everyone has a preconceived idea on who did it, how, and why.

the trial will not be for months if not years, even the first phase of the investigation is not over, There is already enough evidence that there may be some sort of connection, if not a direct action by a terror group, and that it was done for "islamic" reasons. Doesnt mean its so, but there is evidence pointing that way.
