<p>/\ Without trying to sound confrontational, are you saying that this thread should be locked because you are uncomfortable with the way the thread evolved? I think the topic of the role of religious law (be it Shari’a, Jewish or other religious law) has been even handed and educational… If you feel that something has been misrepresented, you could correct it or post what you think is incorrect.</p>
<p>The courteous thing to do would be to start another thread for the other topic and then provide a link to it. The people that are interested in the other topic would then discuss it there while leaving this topic for those that want to discuss this topic.</p>
<p>any news as to what the status of the bomber is ? Is he still in the prison hospital, or in solitary?
It’s like the story has disappeared.</p>
<p>
Of course not. I only feel that people should only discuss what they are at least minimally educated in. Discussing something you are unfamiliar with is going into dangerous territory.</p>
<p>
Fair enough.</p>
<p>I googled his name and got a bunch of results, and as of yesterday, he was still in a federal prison hospital.</p>

<p>hearing is delayed</p>
<p>thanks for posting this…All of a sudden there was nothing in the media with all the other weather stories taking precedence.</p>
<p>Does anyone know what was up with the guy shot by the FBI?</p>

<p>Some news sources are saying he was a friend of the older Tsarnaev and had just confessed to doing the unsolved Boston murder with him.

Well, then, a lot of posts wouldn’t be on CC, if we had to follow this rule. And, besides, who would determine who has the appropriate level of education or knowledge in a subject? Just as you think that “discussing something you are unfamiliar with is going into dangerous territory,” most would think that limiting such discussion to certain people who are deemed to have enough knowledge on a subject would be going into far more dangerous territory (censorship). Better to just ignore!</p>
<p>Thanks for posting the link, jonri. Big question now is – is this true?! Somehow it doesn’t make sense to me - he’s about to sign a confession but suddenly goes crazy and attacks? Hmmm…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’d like to know the definition of “minimally” - what proof is required to show our competency? :)</p>
<p>We’d have to pass NPLB (No Poster Left Behind) tests?</p>
<p>I hope the FBI is not being foolish about not releasing details about this,as it is causing all kinds of speculation.</p>
<p>[q]Of course not. I only feel that people should only discuss what they are at least minimally educated in. Discussing something you are unfamiliar with is going into dangerous territory.[/q]
Where else do you suggest these things be discussed. One of the roles of discussions like this is to increase knowledge. Where exactly do you expect most people to get the minimal education? If we are not even minimally educated, are we likely to seek out that education, without the topic coming up somewhere like here?</p>
<p>Granted, most Americans don’t understand the Muslim religion, Sharia Law, or any number of topics. Perhaps by discussing them here, people will be more likely to be curious, and to seek out appropriate information. Please, if you think there is misinterpretation, correct it, and provide links to where people can get more information. Not discussing these things, because we are not education only leads to more misunderstanding.</p>

<p>Being heavily involved in an issue does not always equate to be well-educated in its variables. Someone who sits two inches from a wall can describe the myopic details of the grout and a couple of bricks, but will fail to appreciate how it looks from a distance or notice how crooked the wall might be. </p>
<p>Extreme views on both ends of spectrum tend to be just as uneducated and dangerous. And nothing is more dangerous than an educated extremist who can mislead gullible followers through misguided interpretation of religious texts.</p>
<p>Well-stated, xiggi!</p>
<p>What is it with these Chechnyians? I acknowledge the repression in the Russian Federation, but what’s their beef with the U.S.? The Tsarnaevs and now this guy fulfill the violent stereotype perpetuated by the Russian government. The Russians say they’ve been warning the U.S. that these guys are extremists.</p>
<p>The Soviet Union was right about Afghanistan. Russia is right about Chechnya.</p>
