If a simpleton would draw logical conclusions about very similar bombs used by muslim terrorists in the US and around the world then what would that make one who draws conclusions to a specific group without ANY suggesting facts or evidence?

A highly biased idiot ignoring facts and reality, that's what. The media is purposefully drawing conclusions based on zero facts and totally ignoring what's staring everybody right in the face. It's mind boggling the stupidity and outright lies really.

All of our intel agencies just don't see things as simple as you do.
Give them a little more time, I'm sure they will come up with something

I know, and it's not hard to make. It's just the tool of choice for muslim terrorist attacks that have been attempted in the US. That is a fact.

That means chances are very high it is muslim terrorist.

Exactly how many of these attacks have been "attempted" in the US? Please, some links, but not just links to someone else claiming that they are used by Islamic Extremist in the US, actual attacks.

I've posted the links in this thread. Just google. The 2010 attempted bombing and Fort hood attempted bombing are the ones the come to mind. They had pressure cooker bombs.

Here's some for you, you can google some more

http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2013/04/16/f-pressure-cooker-bomb.html

In 2010, Faizal Shahzad, a 31-year-old Pakistani-American, attempted to bomb Times Square in New York. He had three explosive devices inside his SUV, including a pressure cooker bomb, but they failed to detonate. He was sentenced to life in prison.

U.S. army private Naser Abdo, 21, was arrested in 2011 and charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device.

Among items police seized from his hotel room were two pressure cookers, six bottles of smokeless gunpowder and a copy of "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom."

Yea, Google, and all the articles only keep pointing out the same four or five instances where they have been used, not exactly ...prolific, and hardly a history enough to claim "ZOMG!!! It's the work of tha moooooslims!!!!"

The only media that's drawing conclusions is Fox News

Ok. Who has attempted to use pressure cooker bombs in the US?

Answer? Only muslim terrorists.

I'm not saying it's definitive, only that all signs and facts point to muslim terrorists and chances are very high it was muslim terrorists.

Good finds.

However, I still don't get the motive.

Times square in NYC is a symbol of capitalism. The army private who had the bombs was doing a followup to Nidal Hassan and was concerned about killing Muslims.

Boston Marathon? What's that got to do with Islam? Absolutely nothing.

It looks like the first time was the Croatians

On Sept. 10, 1976, a Croation nationalist put one in a locker at New York City's Grand Central Terminal, killing one NYPD officer and wounding another as they tried to dismantle it.

"Recipes" for pressure cooker bombs also have appeared in white supremacist literature for 40 years, say counterterrorism experts. And they have been used for more than 30 years overseas in various civil wars and as improvised explosive devices against U.S. troops.

Muslim terrorists target open public areas where there are lots of people.

I'd wager the family's of the three dead and all those injured don't give a fuck about the motivations of the terrorists.

RW extremist vs. Islamic extremist
Who the fuck cares, whomever did it needs the full weight of the law brought down on their ass.

You and I are going to disagree here. Muslim terrorists tend to hit targets that are in some way related to US state power. Either attacking the military directly (ft hood) or intentionally causing economic damage.

There simply isn't a history of muslim terrorists anonymously attacking a sporting event.

There is a history of right-wing extremists anonymously attacking a sporting event.

How much more would it take to convince the Islamic terrorist lovers that this bears a sickening resemblance to Islamic terror vs. right wing terror?

Shrug, I'll give you that the container used to hold the bomb is in fact a tactic used by terrorists before but this bomb was about as crude and simple as it gets. Maybe its just me but when the bomb can be made completely and totally from items you can get at Walmart I am little hesitant to blame it on any one group do to its "design" (or lack of).

Well, there's no convincing PC liberals who believe Islamic terrorists are moral people who would never target civilians, and only "symbols" of capitalism like NYC. I'd like these to go visit other countries that suffer from this scourge and ask about how their bombs never target civilians and they try to minimize civilian casualties. Hell go ask friggin Pakistan, which suffers monthly bombings now. SMH.

No matter whoever did this, we should all feel glad that at the end of it all, this was a giant FU to the bomber. Instead of spreading fear and panic, there was a show of courage, empathy and humanity that reduced the casualty count quite considerably. So his/her/their entire plot failed. We are more likely to remember the inspiring courage of the bystanders that didn't flee in mad panic, and selflessly went back to help the wounded. Moments like this are what truly define a country and it's people, definitions that could never be wiped out by cowardly, amateurish, terrorist attempts.

On the other hand, once the CIA/FBI get their hands on them, I can guarantee that the machinations of justice will be way, way more efficient in delivering the punishment they deserve.

Misleading title. From the article content. I can totally agree with this statement...

CNN national security analyst Peter Bergen told host Jake Tapper on Monday that the explosions in Boston could be the work of Al Qaeda terrorists as much as they could be part of a planned assault by “right-wing extremists.”

Islamic terrorists have their own internal logic, and this bombing does not fit within that internal logic.

It fits in the internal logic of RWE's like Eric Rudolph and Tim McVeigh.

Its amazing how you can tell exactly what peoples agendas are just by reading their thoughts on who they think did this.
