Boston Marathon Attacks: Islamic Terrorism? “Four Lions” Movie Muslims Targeted London Marathon; BREAKING: Secondary Devices Still Being Found
**** UPDATE: Suspect ID’d as Saudi National (MUSLIM). Would he qualify for amnesty in Marco Rubio’s Fantasyland Amnesty Bill? ****
**** SCROLL DOWN FOR UPDATE ****
Say a prayer for those killed and wounded at today’s Boston Marathon. There were initial reports of detached limbs flying, but now other reports from the Boston PD say 2 dead, 22 injured. Two explosions simultaneously from two different garbage cans is definitely planned and coordinated. Probably by more than one person. And reports now say that secondary devices are still being found that have not yet exploded.
Boston Marathon Terrorist Attacks Mirror Plot of UK Movie, “Four Lions” . . .
It sure looks like Islamic terrorism to me. Is it a nutjob or terrorist group that has nothing to do with Islam? Could be. But not likely. Look at the Times Square Bomber. A similar plan. And a Muslim. And crazies tend to work alone. This doesn’t look like a one person thing, though I could be wrong. We shall see. But we may never learn the identity of who did this, since it was clearly well planned and detonated at a specific time. The perpetrator is probably long gone and laughing all the way to his harem, er . . . apartment.
It’s definitely terrorism of some sort and deliberate. You don’t have to be Einstein to come to that logical conclusion. And I’ve always believed that shopping malls and large athletic events, like this one, would sooner or later be bombed by Islamic terrorists.
What do you think? Who did it? Why? Do you think we’ll ever find the perpetrators? I bet not. Look how long it took the FBI to find the Unabomber, and, then, only because his own brother recognized the writing and turned him in. If not, he might still be free and a suspect for this.
I note that the English comedy movie, “Four Lions” (read my review)–about bumbling, stupid Islamic terrorists–involved a plot in which the terrorists targeted the London Marathon for a similar kind of attack as that which occurred in Boston today. As the old adage goes, “life imitates art,” and sadly today it did. I noted in my review that I didn’t like the movie as much as I might’ve because it made terrorists look like morons and idiots who couldn’t pull it off. They wore costumes in the marathon and drew attention. Real terrorists, such as those who perpetrated today’s attacks, aren’t morons. They’re smart, cold, calculating, and successful in murdering Americans when they want to.
And you cannot deny that terrorists get plenty of their ideas from the movies.
**** UPDATE: As I noted earlier, I don’t believe they’ll find out who did this. And, based on that, here’s what I think will happen. Whether or not Muslims did this, public officials will be hesitant to call this “terrorism.” We’ll be warned that we don’t know who did this, even though I think we all know who probably did it. We’ll have a new layer of political correctness and affirmative action for Muslims that makes the current level of dhimmi cosmetics thin compared to the caked on makeup that’s to come. We’ll be told–yet again!–that profiling is bad. And, therefore, there will be stepped up security at sporting events and athletic competitions. No garbage cans, etc. All because we ain’t got the guts to take this crap seriously like we didn’t after 9/11.
Political correctness continues to kill and will kill a whole lot more.

People say Islamic terrorism isn’t a problem.
They’re in denial – and we’ll have to wait to find out if the perpetrators of today’s atrocity at the Boston Marathon are going to be caught.
My condolences to the victims and their families. No one ever expects this but human nature is capable of devising evil in ways we haven’t yet seen.
Today a marathon – tomorrow who knows? And Debbie is right the pop culture gives the bad guys plenty of motivation to try out new ways of killing people they haven’t thought of before.
But don’t count on Hollywood to show some sense of responsibility in the movies it makes.
