Dave Weigel at Slate reported from an awards dinner Tuesday night for the leftish Arab American Instiute about the crowd's discomfort with the notion that the Boston assailants would turn out to "look like them." (That, I think, would mean Middle Eastern and Muslim, although AAI president James Zogby describes himself as a Maronite Catholic.) They tried not to say it out loud, he said, but then CNN's Christiane Amanpour, there to receive an award, said it for them.
"How many of us feel this burden of association and hope beyond hope that this doesn't turn out to be what it might be?" said Amanpour. "No conclusions yet." Weigel reported she read from a New York Times essay by Haider Javed Warraich, a medical resident in Boston who fretted that he didn't run into the action because as a young Pakistani male with stubble, "I look like Hollywood’s favorite post-Cold-War movie villain."
"There are no conclusions," said Amanpour. "Is it international? Is it domestic? But like all of you—I'm not Pakistani, and I'm not Arab, but I am part Iranian. And I do understand the burden of association. And I know when we know who did this, we will all unite in strong condemnation."

WRONG AGAIN!
She’s half right. They were Chechen Muslims.
Unfortunately for her and libtards like her - it was not a white Christian Tea-Party male producing an anti-muslim video.
(Boo Hoo)
I wish Muslims hadn’t declared war on us too.
What the Hell did she hope they were, then?
pardon me but WTF is wrong with these people??? Why are they so obsessed with color and race and ethnicity??? It is a derangement.
They aren’t Middle Eastern Muslims. They’re CAUCASIAN Muslims. Huge difference..../ s
It's hard to see when you have your head up there!
LOL Dallas...
The old WarSlut still pimping for the other side...
What I want to know is where did these two devils get the money for their high roller lifestyle?
(Report from mechanic who was working on their cars that they dressed in expensive clothes and drove different expensive cars. I saw another report that their mother had been convicted of shoplifting (hard way to pay for or qualify for a loan on a Mercedes). Another post I saw, said they were given money by a rich foreign student (ding, ding, ding!)
She’s still on tv?
A muzzie sympathizer if there’s ever been one. Sorry, but a jihadist is a jihadist regardless of his race, language or national origin. There have been Chechen jiahdists involved in various conflicts. This was all predicted 5 years ago by a very prescient author, Yossef Bodansky, in “Chechen Jihad: Al Qaeda’s Training Ground and the Next Wave of Terro”
“Yossef Bodansky, the author whose #1 New York Times bestseller Bin Laden: The Man Who Declared War on America first introduced American readers to al Qaeda’s evil mastermind prior to 9/11, returns to sound an important alert. In this authoritative look at the roots of modern terrorism, Bodansky pinpoints the troubled region of Chechnya as a dangerous and little-understood crucible of terror in the struggle between East and West. Drawing on mountains of previously unseen intelligence from Islamist movements and other military and intelligence sources from throughout the Middle East, Russia, and Central Asia, Chechen Jihad offers an intimate and startling portrait of the jihadist movement that is astonishing in its detail and chilling in its implications—including new insights into the Chechen jihadists’ secret role in fighting against U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. An authoritative work of reportage and analysis, Chechen Jihad also points to a new way forward in the struggle to face down the challenges of international Islamist terrorism.”

The left wanted the terrorists to be Tea Party members, and openly speculated that they were. We need to rub their lying noses in this forever.
