Looks like "horribly racist" Warbler and all the "non-judgmental" libs got their way at the same time!  The guilty are Caucasian Muslims!

The whole racism debate here was ridiculous.  Of course Warbler was rushing to conclusions with little evidence, but I get annoyed when others are so quick to condemn, then honestly make the same errors themselves.  You who said this was a homegrown terrorist attack should be just as ashamed of yourselves as you believe Warbler should feel.  If you feel no shame, neither should he.  If you feel your own hasty judgments merit heavy guilt, then perhaps you are justified in your swift "corrections" of his statement.  Hypocrisy is still hypocrisy, even if it's intended to make you feel like a tolerant, slow-to-judge, non-accusatory liberal.  I get tired of the excuse that we can blame whites, males, and Americans because, well, you know they're all just so well off that it's okay.  Prejudice is never okay.

For the sheltered, the guilty men are ethnic Chechen Muslims who immigrated 11 years ago.  At present there is no known connection to an actual terrorist group, though that could change.  This of course does not justify the condemnation of other Muslims or any other form of bigotry.

Oh, and Warbler, while I despise conspiracy theories, I think jumping all over Fan was a poor choice as well.  Better to shut down conspiracy theories with rational discussion than fiery but ultimately pointless words.  There is a benefit to asking questions rather than just assuming the official story is 100% accurate, though I think those conspiracy theorists take it way too far.
