AP ON FAISAL SHAHZAD: MUM ON MUSLIM

It is known that Faisal Shahzad is a Pakistani American who attempted to explode a car bomb on Times Square. However, if you rely exclusively on the Associated Press for information, you will not know if he is a Muslim. Forget the fact that this attempt to detonate a bomb in a crowded area fits the Islamic terror template. The AP is pointing the finger at Shahzad's circumstances as a motive for his actions.

Not long ago, Faisal Shahzad had a pretty enviable life: He became an American citizen after emigrating from Pakistan, where he came from a wealthy family. He earned an MBA. He had a well-educated wife and two kids and owned a house in a middle-class Connecticut suburb.

In the past couple of years, though, his life seemed to unravel: He left a job at a global marketing firm he'd held for three years, lost his home to foreclosure and moved into an apartment in an impoverished neighborhood in Bridgeport. And last weekend, authorities say, he drove an SUV loaded with explosives into Times Square intent on blowing it up.

Ah, so Shahzad was not motivated by his religion despite that being the most obvious possibility. Also not fitting the mainstream media template Shahzad's education along with the affluence of his family.

Shahzad, 30, is the son of a former top Pakistani air force officer, according to Kifyat Ali, a cousin of Shahzad's father. He came to the United States in late 1998 on a student visa, according to an official who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the investigation into Saturday's failed car bombing.

Completely absent in the article is even one mention of the word, "Muslim" or "Islam". Mayor Bloomberg pointed the finger at someone angry at the new Health care law before he had any facts. Now that we have the facts, neither the liberal media nor the liberal politicians want to face them.
