Like gee...since all these bombers are Muslims, how can you not think of it. These are Muslims who believe in "killing for the sake of killing"...even their own. They are sick, sick sick. They were taught hate, hate, hate....all the Christians, all the Jews.
Perhaps he should accuse himself of prejudice, because he's essentially admitting that his first thought was that it might have been a Muslim, and that his second thought was that he hoped it didn't turn out to be one. He's admitting that he had the same reflexive thought we do when a bomb goes off as to the likely culprit. If Muslims are against violence, as he says, why did the possibility a Muslim was involved immediately jump to mind and make him hope he was wrong? He certainly seems to have jumped to a conclusion, and then hoped that conclusion was wrong. But the rest of us, according to Boren, should not jump to the very same conclusion that this Muslim did, who knows his own kind better than we do.
