Absolutely a lot of muslims are really crap at the more unpleasant parts of islam, long may they continue to only abide by select bits of their crazy fascist belief system.

The two men will now appear in court on Tuesday for a bail hearing.

What??

Is that just a procedure or is there really a chance they can go out on bail?

i hope this doesn't mark the beginning of copy cat attacks inspired by recent events in Boston.

Of course it will, depressingly. The fact that the Boston bombers were, to the best of anyone's knowledge, working alone and still managed to cause the amount of havoc they did, will surely embolden and encourage anyone with similar aspirations to give it a shot.

Agreed, actually. Most of the time terrorism is attention seeking - in which case, even without succeeding in their attack, these guys have just achieved some semblance of what they wanted to achieve.

How do you "not publicise" what happened in Boston recently?

I think he was talking more about failed attacks. No reason these guys should get any fame or attention whatsoever.

True,i'd take a poutine (without cheese) over a taco chip any day,but here's something that'll blow the socks off you.The next time you have a poutine throw a bit of Ketchup or HP in with it,just a dollup,and trust me you won't want any of that manky cheese on a poutine again.

They're both non-Canadians, one of them is Tunisian apparently and quite the smart guy, his linkedIn says he's a phD student "monitoring bio-chemical interactions through application of optical and electrochemical transducers"

Scary to think the kind of damage this kind of guy could've inflicted if he wasn't arrested.

And the RCMP haven't found any link at all to this and Boston - Canadian officials have been investigating for months and law enforcement agencies have been ready to shut it down a while now. They just held off probably because of US intelligence agencies wanting to investigate further before moving in.

And then Boston happened so they had to move in.

Don't name the suspects, don't give any media coverage to their pursuit, don't give any air time to their 'cause'.

I guess the public will want to know a lot about what happened, but I remember far less of a media frenzy over the IRA bombings.

They didn't have 24/7 news tv or the net back then. You had to sit and wait for the news at 6 or 9 or read the paper the next day. Plus there was a certain amount of media boredom/same-old same-old with IRA bombings, like a bombing in the Middle East now.

I'd be willing to bet even the terrorists are going round wondering who the feck this all-present, all organising "Al-Qaeda" are. Personally, I reckon it's like the Bogey-man, a catch-all for everyone who is vaguely "on the other side". I think even Albert Qaeda goes around wondering who the feck Al Qaeda really is.

I agree. I dont believe there is such an organisation as Al-Qaeda. Every time an atrocity is committed by an islamic person or group they are said by security forces to have "links" to Al-Qaeda. This is meaningless guff and is shorthand for saying 'we haven't a clue what these people are motivated by, but sure we have to pretend we do'. If Al-Qaeda exists at all, it is as an ideology or a set of beliefs. It is not a structured organisation.

There is the main group but in recent groups, local militias adopted Al Qaeda in their name so as to appear like big players, like Al Qaeda in Somilia.
