It has been a month since the Boston Marathon bombings, but there is still plenty of unanswered question such as the reasoning behind the brutal massacre.

Police have discovered that the living suspect of the brotherly terrorists wrote a letter during his final hours before being caught on April 19.

As Dzhokhar Tsarnaev bled from a gunshot inside a draped boat during the police manhunt that shut down the city, he reportedly left a note on the cabin's wall.

But what IN THE WORLD did the alleged terrorist have to say??

He explained that the lethal attack was payback for what Americans did to Muslims in Afghanistan and Iraq. Dzhokhar even called the victims— three killed and over 260 injured —of the bombing "collateral damage" similar to the casualties in the US-fronted wars overseas.

Selena Gomez must have some preeetttyyy amazing tricks up her sleeve!!?!!

Her recent visit to Justin Bieber is the only thing we can think of that would have, COULD have, caused a complete 180 in Bieber’s behavior.

Justin played a concert in Turkey last night, and paused his concert not once, but TWICE to honor the Azan (a Muslim prayer call).

Fans were shocked and appreciative, sending the pop star grateful tweets galore!

Here are some of those tweets:

The more we learn about the personal lives of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, the more we can learn about what led to their vile acts.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s ex-girlfriend Nadine Ascencao is now speaking out about their past and says they had an extremely abusive relationship.

She revealed that she lost her virginity to him and found herself hopelessly in love, which may have somewhat blinded her to his manipulative nature:

Well, we all know who Madonna is voting for this November!

Although the Queen of Pop has made her love for President Obama pretty clear in the past, she recently took the stage in Washington, D.C. to praise him even more!

During last night’s MDNA show, Madge made references to civil rights, while referring to Obama as a black Muslim.

Though Madonna might wanna do a quick fact check on the second half of that statement, we still get what she was trying to say.

Check out the video of the speech, or as fans call it, “Madonnalogue” (above)!

Can’t say the Material Girl isn’t passionate about what she stands for!!

The Queen has spoken, Perezcious readers!

McDonald's will be opening up its first ever vegetarian restaurant!

The meatless location will be opening in Northern India, near the Golden Temple in the Sikh city of Amritsar.

The spokesman for McDonald's in India said:

"It will be the first time we have opened a vegetarian restaurant. There is a big opportunity for vegetarian restaurants [in India] as many Indians are vegetarian."

The restaurant was already pretty food conscious in that part of the world because many Hindus and Muslims don't eat beef or pork, so chicken was already being substituted in most meals.

Now they're just cutting out all the meat.

Maybe they'd open one here in the U.S. because vegetarianism and veganism are becoming so popular.

We can only hope for such a healthy dream to come true.

This is NOT good for Disney's wholesome image!

The massive conglomerate has been sued by the American Civil Liberties Union because the company allegedly fired a Muslim employee at Disneyland in 2010 because she wore her hijab headscarf at work.

Even before being terminated, Imane Boudlal says she received insults from her employees AND supervisors because of her religion, origin and skin color. In fact, some went so far as to call her a terrorist, a camel and a bitch all while they carelessly accused Arabs of being terrorists and bombmakers.

The worst part of the allegations against the corporation is that managers and executives didn't seem to care about the prejudiced comments. CLU chief counsel Mark Rosenbaum elaborated:

Freedom of expression vs. cultural respect…

Ah, a timeless debate!

The above image of a woman in full Muslim dress (niquab & abaya) holding up a bra while doing laundry was SO offensive to some students at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, they asked a staff member to take it down!

The photo was
