Toward the end of an article on the Boston Marathon bombing comes the claim, "Anecdotes suggest that Mr. Tsarnaev became more religious in the last several years and may have embraced more conservative Islamic ideas."
I prefer the terms "radical Islamist ideas" or "extreme Islamist ideas" or "miltant Islamist ideas." But if a journalist or his editors are in the determined mindset of pinning this bombing on conservative ideas, it sure looks like they will find a way to do it, one way or another.
