And yet libs like Michael Moore refuse to admit the obvious when it comes to the terrorists motivation.
Via USA Today:
The surviving suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing remained hospitalized with serious injuries this morning as the hunt for answers goes full tilt to discover why the alleged terrorists turned against a country they once embraced.
Police captured Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Friday night, ending a tense, five-day drama that gripped Massachusetts with fear and rekindled the specter of terror across the nation. He and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev, killed in an earlier gun battle with police, are Chechens who came to the U.S. and – for a time – seemed to want to succeed in America. […]
As a boxer, he was known for his nerve. “He’s a real cocky guy,” said one trainer who worked with him, Kendrick Ball. He said the young man came to his first sparring session with no protective gear. “That’s unheard of with boxing,” Ball said. But he added: “In this sport, you’ve got to be sure of yourself, you know what I mean?”
More recently, Tamerlan – married, with a young daughter – became a more devout Muslim, according to his aunt, Maret Tsarnaeva. She told reporters outside her Toronto home Friday that the older brother had taken to praying five times a day.
Via Boston Globe:
[M]aret Tsarnaev told reporters at a press conference on Friday in Toronto that her nephew Tamerlan recently went from praying no more than once a day to praying five times a day. A neighbor and family friend in Cambridge said Tamerlan became a devout Muslim within the past few years.
“He started talking about religion,” said the family friend, who asked not to be identified. “He grew a long beard.”
The friend said Tamerlan urged him to be more observant, asking, “Why don’t you become a better Muslim? Why don’t you pray, why don’t you do your Islamic duties?”
When the friend joked about the beard, he said, Tamerlan became upset, asking “Why are you making fun of my religion?”
A next-door neighbor on Norfolk Street in Cambridge said he too noticed a change in Tamerlan’s appearance about a year ago when he began wearing long white linen garments. The neighbor, who asked not to be identified, characterized it as a striking change for the once hip-looking, urban young man, but said it only lasted a month.
