Mark Steyn: Media will downplay Boston bomber-Muslim link, same as Ft. Hood, underwear bomber
Daily Caller ^ | April 19, 2013 | Jeff Poor

On Rush Limbaugh’s Friday program, fill-in host Mark Steyn reminded listeners of Limbaugh’s Tuesday comments predicting the media would “circle the wagons” for Islam if it turned out that the suspects in Monday’s Boston Marathon bombing Muslims, saying that the prediction will come true.

As it turned out, the suspects Tamerlan Tsarnaev and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev were indeed Muslims, and Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” said the media wagon-circling would begin “any moment now.”

“As we now know, these guys are Muslim,” Steyn said. “One of them was Muslim. He’s dead — he died in the early hours this morning. The other guy, still on the lam, is Muslim — Muslims from Chechnya. And so, as usual, any moment now we’ll start to hear, ‘Oh well, these are just lone wolves,’ as Rush said. ‘They’re not typical of anything.’ None of these guys are ever typical of anything.”

I asked that question on another thread. Has martial law been declared? Has the Constitution been suspended? If the search for a murderer justifies entry and search without warrant, then the police will be able to make that claim whenever they wish to enter someone’s home. “I’m sorry sir but we have reason to believe that a murderer may have passed through your neighbourhood. Please lie on the floor with your hands behind your head until we are able to confirm that your house is secure. Have a nice day.” The same people who tell us that unlawful combatants detained in a foreign country are entitled to the full protection of the US Constitution, are ok with the police arbitrarily suspending the rights of Americans on US soil on the basis of “necessity”.

Thanks littleharbour, glad to know I’m not the only one outraged over thugs with badges, invading homes in name of safety!

What media outlet will cast aspersions on Obama’s religion?

Malden MA. My home town. 24% NON CITIZEN! You should see some of the postings. Moonbats want “right wing nut jobs and tea baggers” to leave Malden. There’s a letter to the editor kissing Muslim ass.

City Hall is across from an Orange Line Station and there are cameras all over the place. I’m sure this incident (which no one else saw even though the foot traffic never stops)will show up on them.

We must have said something to make them blow people up.../s

Isn't that the typical leftist position on Islamic terrorism? Yep....but it's so simple:

The real reason? Islamic terrorism is an act of religious faith, and the enemy's desire to murder us began with that religious faith, and not with ANYTHING we've done. Muslims have been killing non-Muslims simply for being non-Muslims .....ever since Mohammad started it over a thousand years ago.
