I'm not convinced that "johnnie talibans" race WAS important or relevant.
A lot of people this that in a certain conflict the people can be assumed to look a certain way. If there turn out to be a lot of exceptions to this
I don't see how one admittedly "preliminary" report of the man's race (disclosed in the body of the article) equates to a "lot of exceptions".
Furthermore, the black muslim movement in this country has been suspect for quite some time and you are hard pressed not to wonder about it here.
The original article did not claim that the individual was a "black muslim". It merely said "Afro American". Unless of course you have additional information about the individual not disclosed in the original article - if you do, please share it with us?
Hey, I'm in possession of no inside info, but I'm here to tell you that the dude fighting with the Chechen terrorists is bloody-well a black muslim, and not merely 'Afro-American', as you put it!
You don't have to be Sherlock Holmes to figure that out!
LOL!
Actually read my post and quit answering things that aren't there. It seems this thread is full of straw men and projections, mostly by you.
