Times Square.. Terrorist, teabagger or something else?

#1

So, I’m fairly sure you’ve all heard of the failed attempt to detonate a badly crafted bomb on Times Square this weekend.

The Pakistani Taliban have claimed the attack, but there’s no proof that they actually have anything to do with it.

The first video of the possible suspect shows a Caucasian male in his 40’s, the license plate is from a car (or was at least, it was put on a junkyard) owned by a man living in the tri-state area of NY.

So, what do you think? Muslim extremist terrorist attack, or a crazed American that wants to fight against Obama’s Communist/Muslim/Nigger reign? Or something else?

I’ll be honest, when I heard there was a poorly crafted bomb found in a truck on Times Square, the first thing that came to my mind, was that it was one of those Tea Party militia guys trying to make a point (or trying to fake a terrorist attack) so there would be food to attack Obama.

More reason for me to believe it wasn’t a terrorist attack, is that it wasn’t a suicide bomber. If it was a terrorist attack, the terrorist(s) would’ve made sure that the bomb went off, by having the explosives on their body, with a direct trigger. This failed attempt was done by a “coward” that didn’t want to die himself. Terrorists don’t fear death.

Terrorists (Read: Muslim extremists) don’t fear death because they beleive that is what their ‘god’ wants them to do, and by killing themselves they will receive rewards when they reach ‘heaven’

#3

Well yes, exactly. That’s why I don’t believe that it was a Muslim extremist.

#4

Why is this in the massdebating hall?

#5

Because if it was elsewhere it would turn into an off topic “OMG TERRORIST K LOL” spamfest.

#6

when did america decide that only brown people could be counted as terrorists

#7

more importantly how do you define a terrorist.

#8

One that controls through methods causing terror. :expressionless:

#9

No, that’s government. :stuck_out_tongue:

Terrorists are people who think they can change a government’s agenda by killing lots of people from the government’s country, ignoring the fact that politicians don’t give a shit about simple civilians.

#10

Not all terrorists are anti-government. A TRUE terrorist is someone who attempts to achieve a wider goal by using fear tactics. A bloke who demands a million dollars from a rich man while bombing his house until payment is made is technically a terrorist.

#11

Right you are - I kind of oversaw that. Was thinking too much of our typical Al Quaeda, Hisbola, Hamas and IRA terrorists.

#12

I was about to ask the same thing =/

#13

That reminds me of a certain individual on this forum. :hmph:

#14

Notice how both their attempts end up without success. (terrorists blow stuff ip in an attempt to get people to join their religion. Fails. Trills can be banned from hese forums, 2 days later the next one shows up)

#15

I suggest replacing “terrorist” with “muslim extremist” or something, because whoever did this, it’s a terrorist.

#16

Definitely terrorist regardless of the ethnicity of the bomber.

I find your gullibility (willingness to accept A-Q propaganda at face value) somewhat worrying. The first world trade center attack wasn’t suicide. Plus, highly retarded failed attacks are typical of A-Q’s presence outside of Af-Pak… basically any half-bright Muslim who sees Usama on youtube and gets pissed at the latest wedding party carpet-bombing or infidel occupation or whatever and decides its his religious duty to try to kill people in retaliation, that’s what “A-Q” is. For example the Times Square thing reminds me of the british guy who tried to ram an SUV with propane tanks into the lobby of an airport and succeeded in starting a small fire and giving himself third degree burns before being curb-stomped by passersby.

#17

Since we started defining terrorists as Muslim extremists.

#18

Seems like a local crazy to me. I should think that a serious attack would be better thought out, better funded, (Hence MUCH better equipment used) and would not have chosen a target so much video watching. If they do catch the guy, he should be hung in Town Square.

#19

with a shoelace so that it takes a long time to be successful

LOVING your sig, dude. Keep in mind that not all terrorists are muslim, people.:meh:
