MSNBC's Contessa Brewer 'Frustrated' That Times Square Bomber Is a Muslim

MSNBC host Contessa Brewer appeared on the liberal Stephanie Miller radio show on Tuesday and lamented the fact that the person arrested for the attempted Times Square bombing is a Pakistani American. She complained, "I get frustrated...There was part of me that was hoping this was not going to be anybody with ties to any kind of Islamic country." [Audio available here.]

My Views: So Ms Brewer, What were part of you hoping for? Some right wing extremist? Some Tea party activist? someone... White Middle age Christian? It would have fit perfectly in your agenda, wont it?

Brewer continued, "...There are a lot of people who want to use terrorist intent to justify writing off people who believe in a certain way or come from certain countries or whose skin color is a certain way. I mean they use it as justification for really outdated bigotry."

The News live host didn't explain which ethnicity or religion she had been hoping the bomber would have been affiliated with. She did defensively mention members of a Michigan militia group arrested in March and asserted that they were "from far different backgrounds than what this guy is coming from."

Attempting to understand the mind set of Faisal Shahzad, Brewer speculated, "Were there failed family ties? Did he have a strong community network here in the United States? Did he feel isolated?" She opined that these types of terrorists are "guys who are, I don't know, isolated in some ways from their families."
My Views:

I have found this article in "The Hour" on April 17, 2005. I am putting capture here.. I am sure many of you will find it appropriate...

The problem here is instead of condemning bad behavior, society have learned to defend it instead. Oh poor boy he has no family ties, he has no social structure... So what? Does this give you license to blow others?

USA has been positive reinforcement for people to be here for long with it's image as land of opportunities... the problem is only positive reinforcement doesn't work in order to change human behavior, we need to punish the bad behavior too. And that's My View..
