Justin Trudeau, Canada’s Liberal Party leader ,says so.
Geraldo Rivera says so.
If such prominent citizens say “Blame the victims, don’t blame the perpetrators,” why it must be so.
It could be worse, someone could blame the Jews and Gypsies – Roma – for the shoah.
Oops, someone already IS claiming the Jews and Roma.
In an article from the notoriously one sided Jewish Press, we read
“Former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw strongly suggested that America is partly to blame for the Boston bombings because the young Muslim men involved may have felt “alienated” and angry over U.S. drone strikes on “innocent civilians” in Muslim countries abroad.” (See URL above for full story.)
“New Canadian Liberal Party leader Justin Trudeau said, “there is no question that this happened because of someone who feels completely excluded, someone who feels completely at war with innocence, at war with society.”
“Geraldo Rivera tweeted, ‘regrets to my Muslim brothers/sisters. We know how Boston will aggravate life’s friction—Now’s the time for patience pride & understanding’.”
It’s interesting that that “journalist” Rivera calls the perpetrators his “brothers/sisters.” Unless he converted to Islam, if he goes to – say – Saudia, he’ll soon find out how he is treated by his “brothers/sisters.”
AND IN CANADA, where Muslims also are being victimized. According to the Jewish Press http://tinyurl.com/cq9xmzo , “Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police [RCMP] have thwarted a terrorism plot – one that enlisted the help of al Qaeda in Iran — to derail a VIA Rail passenger train. A combined effort between the RCMP, Toronto and Montreal Police and the FBI led to the arrest of two men on terrorism charges: 35 year old Raed Jaser of Toronto and 30 year old Chiheb Esseghaier of Montreal.”

You can almost - almost - understand the Muslims’ feeling of mistreatment. They can’t handle the freedoms afforded by the U.S., Canada, Australia and, to a lesser extent, the EU countries. What I cannot fathom are the Timothy James "Tim" McVeigh s, U.S. born and raised terrorists.
McVeigh was mad at America because of the Waco Siege.
Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski was a PhD in Mathematics who started his bombing career as “necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization.” ( http://tinyurl.com/mnlts )
The difference between McVeigh and friends and Kaczynski is – at least as I recall – Tom Brokaw and his fellow liberals-to-the-nth degree failed to cry over their incarceration and, in McVeigh’s case, execution. But then neither was a Muslim and neither aimed his attacks at Jews which seems to be permissible.
