Sorry, the term suicide bomber mitigates the crime. Thast just my opinion, but I do agree its not worth fighting over..Not to change the subject, but tornado sirens are going off all over here in STL..

Why would they want to take out their allies though? I imagine that Ft. McMurray would be choice #1 for them.

If they hit in Alberta, the media would have nothing but photos of angry people.

Do it in Toronto, and you'll see fear.

Fear works for them.

Blowing oneself up with no one around is not the standard operating procedure for Mad Mo's Killing Crew. Could have been a problem attempting to be solved I suppose.

To all of our FReeper FRiends in Canada I say I hope this is just an isolated incident and not part of some plot. Keep your heads down guys and try to avoid crowds.

Thank you Americanexpat.

We'll be OK.

I don't see that the term "suicide" in any way mitigates the crime, or carries a value judgment one way or the other. It merely indicates that the bomber intended to die along with whomever else he intended to kill.

It is to delineate the bombing from the "plant the bomb and get away" sort. It is merely a description of what happened.

The Unabomber was a "homocide" bomber, but he never blew himself up too. That term is simply not descriptive or useful.

Thanks FanFan! A gazillion of them there donut shops in Mississauga, so I am not happy that this is their location of choice.

And I work five minutes from Pearson.

On the other hand, it might be someone peeved with last week's IPO. Let's hope it's just that.

I'm in Kingwood and didn't hear anything. How far from the airport are you? Hope it wasn't a plane crash.

Mass murderer seems to say it. The fact that they used a bomb is just the choice of weapon.

Now let's find out the one fact which no one seems willing to jump on...was the guy a Muslim or not?

D.W. Griffith was an opinion maker very much in favor of the KKK. His film, Birth of a Nation, was shown to an enthusiast president, Woodrow Wilson, in the White House. Almost all the opinion makers in the South loved the movie and its laudatory portrayal of the terrorist organization.

IMHO, 'they' are coming for us whether we submit or fight.

We all better get ready to fight.

OPINION: Huck, you're on a tangent. It doesn't make sense as to why you are on this tangent. Why are you so angry and why are you off topic here?

In the article you linked to, it says the District Manager of the Tim Hortons is Amin Islam. (This may have been mentioned by someone else; I haven't read the whole thread.)

It wasn’t in the dining area. Maybe he discovered a conscience.
