Local prosecutor Hubert Stroeber said it would be an exaggeration to call the device a bomb, saying that although the powder was combustible, it was unclear whether it would have exploded.

Reminds me of when we were kids. Using illegal fireworks, packing it in a small container with sulpher scraped from matches, add tacs, and plenty of tape to seal it all in. 'Nail bomb' near the school yard, during lunch break, cause bored I guess. It did explode, nothing much happened.

I really hope that's sarcasm.

Well, that is the naive part. Let me tell you some things you and people like you don't understant.

I am an immigrant myself too. I have emigrated from Eastern Europe to Canada ten years ago. Before that I’ve had a few different jobs as a student in UK and USA. I have met and made friends with a lot of people from different cultures and different races. I can tell you one thing, most people that are born and raised in the Western societies, are the most opened minded people I have met, so you are very wrong to put the blame on us and say that   “we have to understand their feelings”. No, they have to understand how the society works and oblige like the rest of us.

I dunno, get together with some terrorists and have a cup of coffee. Hash it out.

Yes, but it's much easier for you to blend in, because your skin colour doesn't make you as immediately noticeable. I don't put the blame on Westerners in general or in whole, I mainly put blame on the American government as they funded the mujahideen of which Osama bin Laden would spawn out of, they are allied with and provide weaponry to Saudi Arabia, the state which has probably spread Islamism more than any other, they supported the Islamization of Pakistan to combat the Soviet Union, and also fund many militias that end up having extreme beliefs. They also scapegoat minorities in order to deflect from their own wrongdoings, and Muslims end up being one of the main targets.

I must be still sleepy, when i read the topic i though nail as in fingernail. And then was like... How much would it hurt a bomb made out of fingernails :D.

Not even joking :P

Yes, but that doesn't mean that societal circumstances shouldn't be taken into account. For example, there are many white supremacists who put down blacks as lazy and praise Asians as being hard-working, completely ignoring the circumstances, like how many blacks were slaves and even afterwards were treated poorly which obviously facilitated poverty, while there was a blanket ban on Asians from immigrating for a while, so the Asians that did come were already well off, which meant that they generally did not become poor. I'm saying this is the same. We don't look at the circumstances surrounding the situation thoroughly enough.

What do people's racist views or lack thereof have anything to do with this specific problem? I don't usually see racist people going to other countries blowing shit up in the name of their racist views.

Your example with the Blacks and Asians has nothing to do with the subject on the topic. Not only that these things were relevant a long time ago, but they have nothing to do with Muslims and how Muslims are perceived. Also, you tell me that it was easier for me to blend in. I didn’t even told you my race and you’ve already concluded what race I‘m. Also, I’ve did told you that I’ve met a lot of Westerners, Westerners are not only one race, I don’t know how you’ve came to the conclusion that I’ve blend in more easy because everyone was of the same race as I’m ????? I agree with your opinion, yes it’s the American politics that drag us in to this mess, but you’re missing one big aspect, it’s the American politicians playing and doing what the Saudis are asking them to do.  Iraq, Libya, Syria, they all went to shit because Saudis had their business interests in the region.  

Oh, I think one of the biggest differences you aren't acknowledging is Asian parents tend to show interest in their children succeeding in school and life in general.

If more people regardless of ethnicity did the same, you'd get surprisingly great results regardless of their financial situation.

In a nutshell, shit kids tend to have shit parents.
