An uncle of the Boston bombing suspects said who died early Friday morning said Tamerlan was a 'loser.'

'I wish they never existed,' Mr Tsarni, who lives in Maryland, told local Boston station WBZ.

Why are we letting people like this into the US when everybody screams about closing the Mexican borders. I live in Cali andMexicans want to come here for a better life, to earn a living, to have a decent place to live. Mexicans take low paying jobs Americanwon't take, yet everybody in Cali screams about all the Mexicans over here.

Can any US poster on this board answer me a question? Why are people from many countries are allowed into the USA withoutmuch bother yet we Brits can't get into the country for longer than six months and can't work for that period unless there is a job?" Iwish there was an answer for that one. I know of Americans that live in Canada and when they decide to come back with theirspouse (Canadian) they too are in for a lot of political run around, it's enough to question if it's all worth the effort. The amount ofpaper work involved just for a permanent residence card is a few years in the making, money, attorney fees, it's endless. Yet it doesseem as though some of the undesirables seem to slip through the cracks, thus making it that much more difficult for the innocent.RIP to the victims that didn't live, and to all those that were impacted by this horrible crime. God Bless you BOSTON!

Talk about showing gratitude to a nation that has taken you in as refugees. Only goes to prove how easy it is to dupe the system byclaiming refugee status. Wake up and smell the coffee!

They were admitted as 'refugees'....a term so loose that we are being swamped with criminals from places like Somalia. Apparently,the most undesirable are being admitted over everybody else. It's probably just another tactic by this administration to destroy theUS.

one family of criminal immigrants has done what the American people couldn't; the liberals' gun control legislation was defeated inthe senate and hopefully their immigration 'reform' plans will be defeated as well.

Well, she can kiss her citizenship hopes to the curb. She is here on an 'refugee visa', but if you commit a felony during yourapplication period, you are automatically denied citizenship. So, goodbye US, hello Chechnya.

Jihad goes back a long time: "Stretching from Morocco to China, the Umayyad caliphate based its expansion and success on thedoctrine of jihadarmed struggle to claim the whole earth for God's rule, a struggle that had brought much material success for acentury but suddenly ground to a halt followed by the collapse of the ruling Umayyad dynasty in 750 AD. The End of the Jihad Statedemonstrates for the first time that the cause of this collapse came not just from internal conflict, as has been claimed, but from anumber of external and concurrent factors that exceeded the caliphate's capacity to respond. These external factors began withcrushing military defeats at Byzant ium, Toulouse and Tours, which led to the Great Berber Revolt of 740 in Iberia and Africa.
