Boston bomb suspect's aunt: Mosque won't bury Tamerlan Tsarnaev

[DonViejo]

57. Yes and no....

a key element of the "America wants to destroy Muslims" and that particular 9/11 conspiracy theory is that we (the U.S.) did it at the behest and on behalf of Israel. That the media chooses not to report that is their choice. Somewhere here on DU is a lengthy interview with the Uncle, in that interview he discusses the impact of Misha on the family as well as that the mother began wearing the head scarf.

OTOH, I suspect she won't be talking to the media any more or, should I say, I'm hoping she won't. I don't have any link to provide you with to prove my instinct, I just feel after her comments to CNN yesterday, she won't be talking. http://www.democraticunderground.com/1014464121#op I don't think she'll be coming to the U.S. either (update at the same link).

If I have a religious bias, it is toward fundamentalist Christians, their control over elected officials, combined with their attempts to mold the U.S. government into representing their beliefs solely, not Muslims. My bias toward this mother is based on the things she has said and done while she was in this country but that has nothing to do with her religion.

I think you have a bias to the, "oh! This poor mother" school of thought
