Backpack With Message "USA Bomb" Left At Muslim Residence
Nimer Ead is a 55-year-old design engineer who resides in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. He also happens to be Muslim. This past Saturday, a neighbor noticed a strange backpack in the yard outside the three-family building where Ead shares a first-floor apartment with his family and called the police. State bomb investigators responded, discovering a black-and-tan backpack that had no explosives or dangerous contents, but included the ambiguously ominous phrase, "USA Bomb."
The Council on American-Islamic Relations is asking authorities to investigate the message as a hate crime.

(90 posts)They killed for religion. It is worse to us because we think how can someone follow a religion that wants them to kill other people because they follow a different religion, god or way of life. That is just screwed up to us. My god does not want me to kill people because they are different or follow another god. They feel that there god wants them to kill those who have a different god. To us that is worse than some nut job just going off and killing people like the asshole in CT did.
Not all Muslims want to kill us either.

(90 posts)We will never know why that asshole in CT killed those people ( I refuse to use his name ). If we did know why it would be some goofy reason that will not make any sense to us. Same goes for the radical religious types who kill people. The diff is the radical religious nuts are "killing for god" which is what they believe. Killing people is fucked up, killing for god is really fucked up. I am a little drunk and not sure if this will make any sense or not but that is how I see it.
