You're a liar and a troll. I never said 1/4 of the world's population were terrorists. So all your blather is a complete lie.
You complain that I'm not dealing with your stats, why should I respond to anything you say when all you're about is distorting and lying about my position.
Good riddance to you ass-clown.
[ Here, I'll state it for clarity. I don't and NEVER thought that all Muslims are terrorists, clear? ]
I made a mistake I want to correct. I copied the photo above from the NY Post via Facebook. The two men above are not suspects. And the reason for posting the photo has nothing to do with Muslims; it's just a pic. Lots of crazy stuff spreading around. One rumor has Obama flying a Saudi man with ties to AQ out of the country. I HIGHLY DOUBT IT! Anyway the NY POst is taking some well-deserved flack about their headlines and rumor-mongering:

Understanding Chechen Terrorism
Max Fisher 1,458 Views Mar 29, 2010
Following this morning's brutal suicide bombings in the Moscow subway, the world's attention is once again turning to Chechnya. Since the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, the small Russian province in the outer reaches of the Caucasus mountains has been torn apart by cycles of warfare between the Russian military and separatist rebels. Though in 2009 Russia declared the war officially over, a low-level guerrilla resistance still plagues the province, and Chechen terrorists have launched several high-profile strikes in Russia.
Monday's attack, the most violent in years, is generating global attention in part because most Chechens are Sunni Muslim, raising concerns that they would link up with Muslim terrorists in groups like al-Qaeda. Substantial connections between Chechen separatists and al-Qaeda have been difficult to prove, however, and the Chechen goal of independence would mesh poorly with al-Qaeda's aim of global Muslim rule. Here's what observers are able to piece together
So this is nothing new and Chechnya is apparently a breeding ground for terrorists and we continue to let these people in, they do not even have to walk across a border to get here. In fact we give them scholarships for heaven's sake.

This should be a lesson. This is why empires and neocolonialism are bad ideas. You force people to accept you as their king and bow down to the kings hand, this is what happens 100% of the time. Russia has kicked around that country

Monday's attack, the most violent in years, is generating global attention in part because most Chechens are Sunni Muslim, raising concerns that they would link up with Muslim terrorists in groups like al-Qaeda. Substantial connections between Chechen separatists and al-Qaeda have been difficult to prove, however, and the Chechen goal of independence would mesh poorly with al-Qaeda's aim of global Muslim rule. Here's what observers are able to piece together:
- The Security of Authoritarianism The New York Times' Ellen Barry says most Russians have "lost the jittery reflexes of a decade when Russians refused to board airplanes beside a veiled woman, or waited for the last train car because they assumed suicide bombers would get on at the front. That fear reshaped the Russian state at the beginning of this decade." Could it be resurfacing? Barry reports onlookers at the attack are already calling for "a crackdown" and pining for the days of Josef Stalin, with whose leadership, says one Russian, "none of this would be going on."
- Who Are The Black Widows? The U.K. Telegraph's Andrew Osborn surveys the violence wrought by Chechen female suicide attackers, like those who struck the Moscow subway. The name, Black Widows, is a creation of the press for any female Chechen terrorist. "[2004] was a bloody year for Russia. Black widows blew up two passenger planes that took off from Moscow airport, bombed the Moscow metro twice, and took part in the infamous siege of Beslan's School Number One. Hundreds of innocent civilians, including children, lost their lives in the carnage."
- Similar Tactics to Al-Qaeda No connection yet, but conservative blogger Ed Morrissey worries it could happen. "AQ has been known to use women in their attacks, mainly in Iraq. AQ has also used burqas as a ruse to hide men. While the Chechnyan conflict started off as a political rebellion, it has been an Islamist affair for most of the last several years."
- More Islamic Terrorists Than Separatist Rebels Conservative blogger Rusty Shackleford suspects the attackers are coming to emphasize religious extremism over sectarian concerns. "This isn't a 'Chechen' problem. This is an 'Islamic Emirate in the Caucuses' problem." He says a website that serves as the rebels' mouthpiece, the Kavkaz Center, "openly supports terrorism and raises funds for Islamist terrorists in Russia."
Fletch: what astounds me is that Chechnya has been a terrorist center for some time now. Until something affects you directly (as in Boston) somehow it just doesn't hit home. It is simply sad to say but millions of people hate our country and for various reasons. I use the term reasons for lack of a better word, it is more like excuses. Many of them are raised from day one to hate us and it goes from there. Look at London and other such places. We need to get our shit together on immigration and soon. When are we going to admit that we are a target and a pretty easy one at that.
Guys don't jump to conclusions. This may have nothing to do with Chechnya. These kids have never been to Chechnya. Hopefully they'll apprehend this kid alive and we'll see what his 'grievances' were. Chechnyan Muslims have dealt with Russia pissing down their throats for decades. The Russian gov't still wants to rule the world, and Putin is a vile human being. Chechnyans usually attack in Russia or at Russian military in Chechnya.
Addendum to my comments about moderate and radical Islam - From the boy's uncle: "We are Muslims. We are ethnic Chechyans. Someone radicalized them...... We are ashamed...... I say I teach my children what I feel. This is ideal. I respect this country! I love this country......which gives the chance to everybody to be a human being!" ........
You are a Patriot Mr. Tsarni -- Do not be ashamed and hold your head high!

Seen this earlier. This is why brushing with a broad stroke can make you look bad. You didnt do that Scott, but some other here have. You have a 26 year old and 21 year old who felt isolated here and who the uncle called losers. This is more of the Newtown motive than it is some dude running around in a cave IMO.
