Dzhokar Tsarnaev, whose face in this recent picture is brimming with malevolence, was really just a good boy under the influence of his maladjusted older brother.

ACCORDING to a New York Times profile of the Chechen brothers who allegedly set off the Boston Marathon bombs, their motives for resorting to violence lie somewhere in the older brother’s difficulty adjusting to American life and his feelings of maladjustment. The profile by Erica Goode and Serge Kovaleski is titled, “Boy at Home in U.S., Swayed by One Who Wasn’t.” The idea that these brothers were motivated by a specific ideology with clear goals and methods is nowhere to be found in this sickeningly deceptive story of immigrants struggling to adapt to their new home. The intention, or at least the effect, of this profile is to diffuse and confuse common sense.

The older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, had been stymied in his efforts to become a U.S. citizen by a petty domestic assault charge, his father is quoted as saying. The article states:

The older one, who friends and family members said exerted a strong influence on his younger sibling — “He could manipulate him,” an uncle said — once told a photographer, “I don’t have a single American friend. I don’t understand them.”

And then:

What no one who knew them could say was why the young men, immigrants of Chechnyan heritage, would set off bombs among innocent people. The Tsarnaevs came with their family to the United States almost a decade ago from Kyrgyzstan, after living briefly in the Dagestan region of Russia. Tamerlan, who was killed early Friday morning in a shootout with law enforcement officers, was 15 at the time. Dzhokhar, who was in custody Friday evening, was only 8.

Buried beneath the details about the domestic assault charge and Tamerlan’s unease as an immigrant  is this astounding fact:

[Tamerlan] was interviewed by the F.B.I. in 2011 when a foreign government asked the bureau to determine whether he had extremist ties, according to a senior law enforcement official.

So a man suspected of terrorist connections was allowed to remain in this country and set off a bomb that killed three and maimed dozens. We do not learn more about this investigation. Apparently, it is not important. The real story must lie in the psychological experience of adjusting to America. The reporters go on to quote those who knew the younger brother and who unanimously say what a great student and person he was.

Anyone who possesses an IQ above 70 knows of the phenomenon called jihad. Goode and Kovaleski have barely heard of it. They write:

Their father said that Tamerlan would take his younger brother to Friday Prayer, but dismissed the idea that Dzhokhar had become devout, saying that they sometimes caught him smoking cigarettes.

As we know, fathers of jihadists tend to be completely open and above board about their sons’ intentions. Remember the father of Mohammed Atta, Mohammed el-Amir Atta? Here’s one of the many reports on his reaction to 9-11:

“He is hiding in a secret place so as not to be murdered by the US secret services,” Mohammed el-Amir Atta, 66, told the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag. He also vehemently denied that his son – believed to have flown the first plane into the World Trade Centre – had taken part in the atrocities, blaming them instead on “American Christians”.

The older brother complained that he did not understand Americans; that he didn’t have a single American friend as a result. It is ironic that had he been subjected to a less tolerant society than the one we live in where every kind of evil perversion under the sun is not only tolerated, but applauded and encouraged, he would likely have felt more comfortable here, and less marginalized. Not that he belonged here in any event, but the irony is thick in this tale of maladjustment.
