The radicalization of Tamerlan Tsarnaev: Older 'bomber' studied Koran for days at a time and witnes
Mail Online ^ | 4/23/13 | Reuters Reporter

In America, he had been a cocky and charismatic heavyweight boxer who wore fancy pointy leather shoes and slick white shirts down to the gym. In Dagestan, the volatile southern Russian region where he lived for a time as a teen and returned to spend the first half of 2012, he became a quiet young man who spent his days online studying Islam, nursing a growing anger against heretics.

He’s dead. The “cute sweetheart” ran him over. Why is this relevant?

Funny how reading the koran has an uncanny ability to turn someone into a mass murderer. I wonder why that is?

Doesn’t the Koran give Muslims the order to “convert non-believers or else kill them”? Is this free speech, or marching orders to kill Americans? Hmmmm..

He was raised on Islam...He was in his teens when they came here. Daddy and mommy just moved back to the old country. Gee...how’s that for timing. The whole family smells.

Studied Islam for days at a time? No wonder he whet bat-s*it crazy. Even browsing small doses of the Koran can make you ill....

Just a wild guess:

“Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them(” 2:191)

Exactly! If the Koran is what ‘radicalized’ him, then it stands to reason that the evil he did he found IN the Koran.

No, no, no. If they just read the American press, they’d know both brothers were isolated loners who reacted violently because American society rejected them. It had NOTHING to do with Islam. Absolutely nothing. Not even a little. Islam is a Religion of Peace. Stop talking about Islam.

It is relevant because he literally was not radicalized in the US and this is in no way, shape or form an instance of homegrown terrorism.

I don’t understand the bizarre constant studying of the Koran. It’s, like, 14 pages long. How does one spends hours, months, days and years studying this book?

I also wonder about why that is so. In my youth, I enjoyed crazy cartoons that showed violence. (Elmer Fudd, Daffy Duck, etc.) I'm talking gore, blood and guts cartoons. Those cartoons were banned some fifty years ago because the PC folks said it would turn kids into mass murderers. Didn't happen. The koran was a tool used by Mo-ham-med to justify butchering and enslaving peoples he conquered. Pretty effective tool. It needs to be banned, more so than cartoons.

Because of the media's attempt to paint the Tsarnaevs as "typical American kids" and as "home-grown" terrorists who worked alone. This "refugee" was known by Homeland Security to be traveling back and forth from the Boston area to Dagestan, a hotbed of terrorists and potential jihadi connections to the Boston bombing.

You have to wonder how many more of his ilk are freely roaming around this nation as we speak.

Who gave him the money to go to Russia, and WHY did he go?

He was surounded by muslims in his home judging by the outfits mama wears. This didn’t happen overnight, and the Russia trip just finalized it all. Who gave him the money for such a lengthy trip.

Yup! That’s why the 8 Gangsters are trying to rush through their “immigration reform” bill. America doesn’t have enough “hardworking” terrorists.

The Roots Of Arabs And Islam.....

11 The angel of the Lord also said to her:
“You are now pregnant
and you will give birth to a son.
You shall name him Ishmael,
for the Lord has heard of your misery.
12 He will be a wild donkey of a man;
his hand will be against everyone
and everyone’s hand against him,
and he will live in hostility
toward all his brothers
.” Genesis 16:11-12

By virtue of his rhetoric and knowing the liberal community of Boston that he grew up in, it could as easily have been his high school social studies classes or the newspapers that he read that radicalized him.
