Victoria Brittain says "I stayed in Great Britain. There, my government, in close conjunction with Washington, was pursuing its own version of what, whether anyone cared to say it or not, was essentially a war against Islam..." I guess she never heard either Bush I or Obama tell the world that we are not at war with Islam. Would it be a good assumption that the brothers were aware of, or heard live this pronouncement from her? Not that her talk would have influenced their jihad bent, but it might have added fuel to their Islamic zealousness.
And who is monitoring mosques to see if they are promoting hatred and division? Do the mosques themselves teach non-violence and assimilation with their host country to their congregation?
Questions...questions.

Bombing suspect’s mosque hosted author who criticized US, UK for ‘war against Islam’
The Islamic Society of Boston, attended by Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, recently hosted a book event featuring a journalist who has been highly critical of the U.S. and U.K. “War on Terror,” which she described as a “war against Islam.”
The Islamic Society of Boston also encouraged its members to show their “support of the forgotten women of the War on Terror.”
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based mosque and its satellite cultural center — which announced its indefinite closing Friday in light of “the terrible and sad events of last night, the criminal of the bombings on the loose, and the strong recommendations of our Governor” — hosted a book signing and “Meet the Author” event April 6 with British journalist and former Guardian editor Victoria Brittain, who discussed her book “Shadow Lives: The Forgotten Women of the War on Terror.”The Islamic Society of Boston posted a graphic promoting the event on its Facebook page April 1, describing the plight of a British woman whose husband has been in Guantanamo prison for 11 years and encouraging people to “Put your profile in shadow in support of the forgotten women of the War on Terror.”
Brittain wrote an article last month, posted on MichaelMoore.com, criticizing the American and British government’s “war against Islam” and Washington’s “global gulag” of black sites.
“I stayed in Great Britain. There, my government, in close conjunction with Washington, was pursuing its own version of what, whether anyone cared to say it or not, was essentially a war against Islam. Somehow, by a series of chance events, I found myself inside it, spending time with families transformed into enemies,” Brittain wrote.
