You are a stupid and pathetic Idiot! Useless no brain idiot the same as all muslims.
32. Yes. Poor them.
Sam ,   LA, USA   (04.19.13)
Three people blown up and dozens of others severely injured. Yea. Poor Muslims for being "harassed". Poor Muslims with their 1.5 billion people and 56 countries spanning three continents - the Jews took 1/600th of the land they conquered. Always poor Muslims.
33. Muslims want Jihad across the globe.
Beni B ,   Baltimore   (04.19.13)
Its natural for non-muslims to want to be safe and protect their family from the islamic terrorists.
34. terrorism
Richard ,   Clermont   (04.19.13)
Not supprised but the fact is not every Muslim is a terrorist but almost every terrorist is a muslim so to stop the bad name you cause upon yourselfs stop glorifying the murderers as marters
35. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.19.13)
Well, it turns out the Boston Marathon bombers are Moslems. So were the hijackers on September 11, 2001, the bombers of two United States Embassies in Africa, the terrorists who attacked the USS COLE and the attackers in Benghazi. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Moslem terrorists have plied their despicable trade in other countries as well. Seems like Moslems have been behind a considerable amount of misfortune. The best predicter of future behavior is past behavior. Moslems behaving badly is not a new phenomenon.
36. Smells like a plain-old false flag operation
Taner ,   NYC   (04.19.13)
To wage yet another war. Hopefully Obama and American people will not fall into this trap.
37. Jews steal Arab land, pitting Christians against Muslims
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (04.19.13)
38. They kill and play the vicitm
American Hindu ,   USA   (04.19.13)
The silence of Muslims in condemning Islamic terrorism is deafening. They must speak out more forcefully against Islamofacism, instead of making excuses for the terrorists.
39. Determined to ruin their reality in the US?
Cameron ,   USA   (04.19.13)
More of these evil stunts & they'll be truly unsafe on the streets. Have a care, Muslims. We're starting to hit our limit with you lot.
40. It must be really boring up there in
A ,   Belgium   (04.19.13)
Moose Manure, Minn. if all you have to do is sit at your computer and come up with these ridiculous and FALSE tirades. Maybe you should do something useful with your time like empty bedpans.
41. 37 You're saying they can be manipulated that easily??
Charles   (04.19.13)
Sounds like a case of severely low intelligence, either them for being so easily played or you for saying something so embarrassingly ignorant.
42. #36, You must be smelling your own butthole.
Jake   (04.19.13)
43. Benassi, what a mindless ass-kiss you are for the mosque
Cameron ,   USA   (04.19.13)
44. #11 Their uncle was just interviews and said
GZLives   (04.19.13)
he and they are ethnic Chechin Muslims - of course unless you think the Uncle is also Mossad
45. 6 million? just 6 million?? Detroit have at least 5.5 millio
(04.19.13)
46. Where did these losers get radicalized?
David ,   Hartford USA   (04.19.13)
At a local Boston area mosque? The internet? In any case, why is any form of Islam fomenting this unrest? Why do Imams in this day and age instill thoughts of jihad in their people? Where does his hatred originate? It must be the Koran, whch is full of directives to spread Islam the world over until it is the only religion in the world. And you either accept it, don't accept it but pay the jizya tax and bcome a dhimmi, or get expelled or die. That's Islam in a nutshell- and as we have seen in Boston, there are a lot of Islamic nuts.
47. Harassment
Syd Chaden ,   Palermo Calif USA   (04.19.13)
It is unfortunate that Muslims who were not complicit in the Boston bombing may be subjected to harassment because of it. However, the harassment that they are subjected to cannot match the traditional harassment of Jews in Europe and of non-Muslims in the Muslim World. Islam is the only religion which, today, calls for death to non-believers, infidels. It is the only religion whose clerics issue fatwas calling for death to Jews, Christians and the destruction of Israel. It is the only religion which celebrates suicide bombers as martyrs. If American Muslims would openly renounce the Islamic doctrine of death to infidels, that might go a long way toward ending the harassment.
48. #30 no, not all moslems are bad
A ,   Belgium   (04.19.13)
but most terrorists WORLDWIDE are moslems. Care to explain that?
49. 11
Rosie   (04.19.13)
They are NOT Arabs. They are Chechen Muslims. Chechnia is a part of Russian federation. Fyi
50. who?
Martin ,   Norway   (04.19.13)
The house aint white Man. Yanks policy is a big problem.
51. It is wrong, doesn't matter how you couche it!
Ben ,   Chutzlaaretz   (04.19.13)
Rather it is really happening or not, I know for a fact the American Muslims are nervous and uncomfortable now because of the bombing and the fact that the perpetrators turned out to be Chechen Muslims. The fact of the matter is for the ignorant American masses, the ability to differentiate between enemy and friend is too difficult a task. (Remember the poor Sikh man that was beaten post 9/11 because they just couldn't tell the difference. Like it would have been OK to just randomly beat someone if he turned out to instead be Muslim.) It is sooo much easier to just condemn all Muslims. (See the Morons on the talks backs here.) Sadly, this isn't helpful in any way. For those of you that think this is a wonderful thing, keep in mind that those Americans willing to categorize all Muslims as a danger, are just as easily swayed to believe the same of Jews, or anyone else a little different. We should continue to condemn any racism/religious bigotry period. Perhaps you all forget the reaction we Jews got when Bernie Madof was caught... I didn't, and I won't condemn others for the actions of these 2 or three Chechen bastards. And no, I am no BHO supporting lefty! I just know wrong from right. Seems some of you are rather subjective on that front.
52. Boston
John ,   Sunbury USA   (04.19.13)
You seem to forget that the muslims partied in the streets on 9/11. I feel sorry for the innocent ones, but you never hear rebuke of the radical ones from them.
53. #12. Who? Leftist Jews, that's who.
Tom W ,   USA   (04.19.13)
Multiculturalism, diversity, hate-laws, PC rules, mass immigration etc...all cherished and initiated by the Marxist American Jewish establishment. The Jewish owned media (N.Y.Times, Wash.post, NPR etc. all pushing relentlessly the pro-Islamist leftist agenda. Everybody know is, but you?
54. To #3 #37
Student   (04.19.13)
To #3... Open a history book. The jews had no country of their own you idiot! Don't compare muslims with more than enough land to the jews who were murdered. This is one of the thing i hateabout self hating jews. To #37 open an atlas. Jews stealing land? Did you see the size of Israel? Did you see the size of Arab land? You really that stupid?
55. Islam and the koran
Dov ,   Canada   (04.20.13)
It is a major commandment in Islam for their followers to act as liars and hypocrites towards the infidels, as their ultimate objectives is to pull the carpet from under their feet when the opportunity arises. It is unfortunate that the Koran has been amended by blood thirsty conquerors, which removed the more peaceful side of Islam for their self gains. Today, Muslims around the world are praising their prophet 100 times a day, while they murder each other and whomever else they see fit without prejudice. Such a shameless human nature and their status in this world confirm their perpetual backwardness.
56. Bertter solution
Horrible   (04.19.13)
The light has to shine on the darkness
57. Peaceful Muslims are trying to be heard
KTShamim ,   Islamabad, Pakistan   (04.21.13)
There are peaceful Muslims who should also be heard: Muslimsforlife(dot)org - successfully collected 10,000 pints of blood to honor 3,000 dead of 9/11 (by saving 30,000 lives. Muslimsforpeace(dot)org - condemning terrorism, promoting Islamic value of loyalty to ones nation, peace, bus-ads and flyers and leaflets to promote the same. These terrorists fight not for Islam but for their own personal gains. Islam is just a garb they use to hide their political agendas while Islam instructs its followers to practice patience: [Qur'an 2:257] "There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; ... " [Qur'an 3:187] "... you shall surely hear many hurtful things from those who were given the Book before you and from those who set up equals to God. But if you show fortitude and act righteously, that indeed is a matter of strong determination."
58. Six million USA Muslims?
Sherlock Holmes ,   London England   (04.21.13)
Unlike the UK census which asks religion, the USA census does not. The estimated number of Muslims in the USA varies from six million to nine million, compared to two point four million Muslims in the UK. or six million in France.
