Boston Bombing Suspects’ Father Swears Off Revenge

MOSCOW, April 25 (RIA Novosti) – The father of the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombings said on Thursday he will not seek to avenge the death of his son Tamerlan, and that he plans to move his US daughter-in-law and granddaughter to Russia to be near him.

“I will not try to avenge anybody; I simply want to get my son back and bury him here,” their father Anzor Tsarnaev, a resident of Russia’s volatile southern republic of Dagestan who previously lived in the US with his family, said at a news conference in Makhachkala.

“I do not hold any religious or extremist views,” he said, adding that he wanted to bring Tamerlan’s wife and child over to Russia.

1. I have a feeling that the daughter-in-laws family will have a lot to say about his plan

I'm guessing that neither the daughter in law nor her parents want the terrorists family to have any influence over the young girl

10. Technically, yes, it's her decision. But that's not always how abusive religiosity works.

Notice he didn't seem to even consider her opinion. It's what HE wants that counts.

4. If she wants any kind of future, she'll take back her maiden name

and change the daughter's name as well. Once she's done that, she needs to "rewind" and take back the life she had before she hooked up with that loser. If she moves away and just becomes a single Mom named Katherine Russell (or another name she chooses), she can have a decent life , free of hassles.

He did not turn out to be much more than a domineering sperm donor.

3. I would doubt the father would be honest if he had other plans.

The family is already on the radar of the Russian Federal Security Service.

Two American girls I know married muslim foreign students they met while in college. One is single, and the other has remarried.

7. she needs help

She needs one of those cult deprogrammers because it seems obvious her family was unable to sway her and she was living off welfare and then working 80 hours a week while her husband made bombs alongside her baby. All when she had a rich respectable family in RI.

So many secrets and she still hides behind her hijab.

You believe every word that WND and Fox say about her?????

And one can't "hide behind" a hijab, lol. It's a head scarf. It's not a burqa or niqab.

Bone up on your Islamic headwear before you shoot off your ignorant mouth, dude.
