| 'Tashfeen was framed!' -- and other anti-US conspiracy theories |
| 2016-01-20 |
| [DAWN] The other day, my brother had an animated argument with a relative of ours who thinks that Tashfeen Malik was innocent, and that she had been "set up" and just happened to be in the "wrong place at the wrong time". My relative, who holds a Master's degree and resides in the US, believes that Tashfeen was not even a religious person and did not wear the hijab, as "photoshopped" pictures in the media inform us. Soon after this incident, I received a forwarded WhatsApp message that had a similar crux: There is a conspiracy afoot to target Muslims in the US. |

| #6 Alan, the Russians aren't going to point our their culpability in the conspiracy theories they plant. |

| #5 I love how all of these "theories" make no mention of the USSR and other competing interests. Is the US blame free at all times? Of course not. But the whole picture is much more complex. Probably too complex for them to even begin to understand. |

| #1 she had been "set up" and just happened to be in the "wrong place at the wrong time" In the back of a truck firing a gun at police? Yeah, I hate it when that happens. |
