I JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH A MEMBER OF THE FRATERNITY JOEL HINRICHS WAS IN!!
Looks like I may have jumped to the conclusion too quick as to the suicide bomber at OU last night, I tracked down which Frat he was in and tracked down the head of that Frat at OU and gave him a call and asked him if Joel was a Muslim convert. He said no he was definately not, not at all. So looks like we jumped to a conclusion. But we should all never be too quick to accept everything we hear from the media, we have to stay vigilant and on top of these things!
Very good follow up.
I am also curious about the lack of schrapnel.
If he intended to kill others, he'd have taped nails to his bomb. We'd have broken windows galore.
How in the world did you get thru to him? I would think his day would be a bit busy...
I knew it all along.
That's all you asked him?
Didn't take very long, I'm pretty good at tracking people down. I just read in an article they referred to him as a "Triangle Fraternity" member. So I searched the Triangle Fraternity, then searched OU Triangle Fraternity, then searched at google OU Triangle Fraternity 405 (405 being the area code around OU in Oklahoma), and I got a page with contact information that I linked at the top of this post http://www.outriangle.org/ then just called it up and asked.

Good point. I hadn't thought of that.
so say you, but that doesn't excuse the MSM from the lack of coverage.
In this case it was.
I'll always assume that a bomber is Muslim first thing. I am one for profiling and it's the Muslims who are the ones attacking us. It just looks like this was the rare case of some random crazy person
Thanks for the direct quote. I trust you more than AP.
I do feel better now, but am quite upset as to the medias lack of coverage
Did he have any theories about what happened?
"That's all you asked him?"
He probably also asked him if he got laid last night by some fat sorority chick.
He really didn't seem to know, but I trust him, he partied with the guy. I didn't want to pressure him, he just lost his friend last night. I got what I wanted to know out of him.

"I knew it all along."Your brighter than i.I gave it 50/50 odds:)
When I say he really didn't seem to know, I mean didn't seem to know WHY. but he was certain he wasn't at all related to anything at all Islam
Well?
