Relax - stop blaming everything...so what if the person who bought the suv was of pakistani orgin.
It still means little until connected somehow to a terrorist plot. Just as I cautioned you and everyone else when the story broke, don't jump to conclusions until enough facts are in...
So..I will not tie the event to Islam or muslims until more is known. I wish others could do the same.

I'd like to know why this story is the current top news item on CBC.ca. It has nothing to do with Canada. And, whilst Canadians face many crises at home and internationally, I can think of any number of news topics that warrant top of the list and ARE about, or relevant to, Canada and Canadians.

I can see that the racists are coming out of the woodwork now that one of the guys maybe Pakistani and the other guy is a white male. No matter, all the serial killers are white guys as are school shooters. So be smug but the bottom line in todays world the terrorists can be white males, white females, black men, filipinos or whatever. All this proves if this guy is an American from Pakistan, is that the war in Iraq, prevented nothing it just made more nuts like this guy. Now off to Iran they got oil and caviar. With a billion Indians who Pakistanis are, racial profiling still does nothing when the perp can be a white male. Bottom line stop immigration from European countries at least we won't have to worry about pig farmers, green river killers, or Jefferey Dahmer. The posters who go after the Islamic religion don't look for answers just scapegoats. The war in Iraq made more nuts but whos counting or caring.
And Headlines:
Headline in the Vancouver Sun: Connecticut man arrested in New York's Times Square bomb attempt
Headline in Montreal Gazette: Man arrested over failed New York car bomb
Headline in the BBC News: Man 'arrested' over attempt to bomb NY's Times Square
Now I wonder if 'arrested' means he was arrested or if he was 'arrested.'
Reality check: Islam demands that there be no other religion anywhere but Islam, and that it is the duty of every believing Muslim to ensure that the world is converted by dawa or jihad. A man, a Connecticut man, a man 'arrested,' a suspect. Uh huh. Some people take their religion seriously. When they're Muslims, they often turn to terror.

YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."
PICKTHAL: When thy Lord inspired the angels, (saying): I am with you. So make those who believe stand firm. I will throw fear into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Then smite the necks and smite of them each finger.
SHAKIR: When your Lord revealed to the angels: I am with you, therefore make firm those who believe. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them.
That's the Qur'an. Muslims take it seriously. So might we.
