And no mention that Moslems are the ones who don't integrate? Do we hear of any Hindu or Buddhist or Asian Christian kids causing this mayhem or anywhere near similar level of mayhem?
One reason for the Muslim youth (whether native born or immigrants) that become radicalized while living in the relative comforts of the west has to do with identity.
Becoming who they become - hate filled nihilists vowing revenge and wishing destruction over imaginary grievances -seems much to do with finding community with others who think like them, and a psychosocial environment that gives them refuge from the cold loneliness and the grief of having put up with a large number of petty slights in the environment. Maybe so, but I don't want you to fix that.
As an immigrant, I find the cold, disinterested, disconnected America intensely attractive and meaningful. One can think, read, do, write what one wants; the freedom I cherish is afforded me because no one cares. I really like it this way.
I love that I am left alone. It is likely that the radicalized youth call it rejection, and hate it. They rush into the arms of hate peddlers.
It is not the responsibility of America (or Americans) to assimilate me. It is your sacred responsibility to follow the constitution that guarantees freedom for you, and from you. I will pay my taxes (rent money), and stay on the straight and narrow, I promise. You promise to remain what made you great: dispassionate, disinterested, and cherishing the freedom to be left alone above all else.
I did not lose my way to socially engineered Cuba, I came looking for the promise of the US. Please don't change it.
“By MARCELO M. SUÁREZ-OROZCO and CAROLA SUÁREZ-OROZCO”
Ever notice how it always takes two MOrons to write this drivel BS? In this case it looks like they’re related.
Gag Me !!
islam & sharia motivated these terrorist, just like the 99% of the other terrorist worldwide.
As Sailer notes, being a liberal these days means being pro-ignorance.
Hey, bozo, how come it's all OUR job to do the assimilating, huh?
Of course, we used to assimilate immigrants into American culture. But then our Liberal friends told us how horribly racist and intolerant that was. So the Lib elites set up a system where immigrants conciously were not integrated. They keep their own language and culture. They are taught how horrible traditional American values are. No one is permitted to criticize immigrant cultures or religion. And now the Libs wonder why an immigrant terrorist feels alienated and holds beliefs that allow him to murder innocent people.
Since when is it native-born Americans’ responsibility to integrate immigrants into the USA? If you don’t want to assimilate, stay home.
Ummm, how about radical Islam?
I have questions:
Where did their money come from??
Reports have it that the bomber still alive had a dorm room & also ‘lived’ with his brother & SIL at an apartment.
They both were known by associates to have high priced autos-—Porche’s & Mercedes Benz’s.
Neither had any visable means of support. Even a stucent has to have money coming from somewhere.
Where did that money come from & who supplied it?
Someone needs to follow the money trail to it’s conclusion.

From the article: “Many newcomer students attend tough urban schools that lack solidarity and cohesion. In too many we found no sense of shared purpose, but rather a student body divided by race and ethnicity, between immigrants and the native born, between newcomers and more acculturated immigrants.”
Hey, Liberal loon, that’s multiculturalism. I know you dreamed of a utopia where everyone sits by the campfire and sings kumbaya, but the above is what always results with multiculturalism. It’s what you Liverals stuffed down our throat without ever asking the American people if that’s what they wanted, and now you blame Americans for not bending over backward to assimilate people from every creed, culture, and race of the world? No crap your social experiment isn’t working. My dog could have told you that it’s destined to fail.
“Whatever motivated the Tsarnaev brothers”
Just like Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and the propagandists at MSNBC, these Liberals can’t quite bring themselves to say it was Islam that motivated the terrorists. Must just keep pretending that we could never possibly figure out their motivation.
