He was white.

There was already speculation among some bloggers and pundits that Hinrichs was a Muslim,[18][19]  but the news of a Pakistani roommate ignited louder rumors that Hinrichs was an Islamic convert who attended the same Norman mosque Zacarias Moussaoui previously attended.[20]  Ashraf Hussein, the president of OU's Muslim Student Association, said he had never seen Hinrichs at a mosque and that he did not believe Hinrichs was Muslim.[21][22] As many as eight people, including OU Arabic language  instructor Hossam Barakat, were detained by the Norman Police Department in the early morning hours of October 2 for questioning. They were again questioned the next day,[22] after which they were cleared of suspicion.

In July 2006, the FBI formally declared that there was no evidence Hinrichs was a terrorist.[16]. Over 200 witnesses were interviewed about the event, and no indications were found that Hinrichs was an extremist, had extremist views, or was working with anyone else to make and explode the bomb.[24]  Agents with the Norman police and bomb squad said that Hinrichs likely "got cocky" with his explosives – a witness saw Hinrichs rummaging around his backpack shortly before it detonated.

Gee, well I guess I am confused. If the  vast majority of the problems/ bombings/hijackings lie with dark skinned, dark haired men in their mid to late 20's of ME descent, why again should we not single them out for questioning?

You keep making assertion that the majority of hijacking are done by people from the Middle East.

That simply isn't true.

It isn't? do tell.


Holy shit, what would you do if not for McViegh? As I said, get back with me when 1 makes a pattern.

Tell ya what, any chance you wanna bet the next bombing/hi-jacking etc. is from a dark skinned, dark haired Islamic goon from the ME in their mid 20's to mid 30's? I will take the Islamic goon, you take the white guy, how much ya wanna wager?
