After two explosions claimed multiple lives and injured more than 100 people at the Boston Marathon Monday, Muslims around the world took to Twitter — some to express their sympathies, others to express their hope that the perpetrator of the attack not be a Muslim.

Libyan Twitter user Hend Amry appears to have been the one to start the thread with her tweet: “Please don’t be a Muslim.”

Her post was retweeted by more than 100 Twitters users including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Jenan Moussa, a journalist for Dubai-based Al-Aan TV also retweeted Amry’s message, adding that she was simply stating “the thought of every Muslim right now.”

Some of the tweets may also be fueled by reports earlier in the day alleging a Saudi Arabian national may be a suspect in the attack and is currently being guarded by police. Those reports have not been confirmed, but several national and local outlets are reporting that to be the case.....

You’d need to have good reason to suspect it might be to provoke that thought......

Notice the muzz express no sympathy for the victims (i.e., they don’t really care about the deaths and carnage). They don’t care who is responsible, just so long as they are not blamed.

Are the muzz in Gaza trilling and handing out candy?

Odd they would be worried about who bombed the Marathon when poll after poll indicates most muslims are wholly supportive of Jihad worldwide.

The mantra has already started. Right wing extremists, tax protestors, gun nuts, Tea Party, and on and on and on.

When it turns out to be a friggin Muslim....crickets.

My guess was Amish. After all, Islam is a religion of peace, as the media remind us after every single isolated attack like this, so it seems unlikely that a Muslim would have committed this attack too.

Recall that it was a Left Wing tax protester who flew a plane into the IRS building in Austin a few years back.

The question is what will these Muslims say if it turns out that is IS a Muslim.

per FowNews...Brigham & Womens hospital in Boston on lockdown with a Saudi national “person of interest” wounded inside.

To be fair though - it’s still early.
