Death toll from Iraq pilgrim bombing rises to 63

Death toll from Iraq pilgrim bombing rises to 63

Sometimes it's hard to tell what Islam hates the most: the kuffar and mushrikeen, or itself.

It's been a while since we've had a spectacular mass murder in Iraq. Despite the efforts and sacrifices of coalition forces to stem the ideologically inspired slaughter of innnocent iraqi's, these suicide bombers/mass murderers do find a way to glorious martyrdom

HILLA, Iraq (Reuters) - The death toll from Sunday's suicide bomb attack on Iraqi pilgrims heading to a Shi'ite festival south of Baghdad has risen to 63, a health official said on Monday.

The bomber exploded a suicide vest packed with metal ball bearings in a refreshment tent full of pilgrims heading to the annual Arbain festival, one
of Shi'ie Islam's holiest events, in the southern city of
Kerbala.

It's quite apparent that Iraq's minority sunni population (and the larger sunni population in the Middle East), isn't quite yet ready to forgive the Shi'a minority which, under Saddam Hussein's auspices, subjected them to privation, fear, and death. Right now in Iraq, it's the Sunni Salafists who are wreaking havoc. Of course, they had the upper hand while Uncle Sociopath Hussein was in power.

With the copious amount of chaos, destruction, and killing perpetrated by the ultraviolent Salafi Muslims in Iraq these days, I'm almost tempted to look upon the Shi'a as the not-quite-so-immoderate moslems. But then I think of Muqtada "Chubby Jihad" al-Sadr, Iran, Pakistan, and the fact that Sunnis and Shi'a share the same Qur'an.

We see this dynamic of internecine hatreds over and over, but it bears repeating for anyone who may not accept a simple reality: The Sunni and Shi'a loathe each other, even though both groups are moslem. One has to be pessimistic as to how or when, if at all, they will learn to coexist and run a free nation together. The idea of democracy is not only foreign and unreal to these people, it's also anathema.

New excuse for Qassams: Prophet cartoons

New excuse for Qassams: Prophet cartoons

That’s the title of an article being reported in YNET.

Let’s be honest, the islamic terrorists in Gaza’istan really don’t need new excuses for attacking Israel. The same, tired islamoexcuses work perfectly well:
A ) Blaming an external entity for our ineptitudes and failures relieves us from taking responsibility for our miserable existence;
B ) For as long as we can con the world into believing we’re “oppressed”, we can bilk the UN and the West into supporting the worlds only UN sponsored welfare state;
C ) Islam is special and is deserving of special dispensations, and;
D ) Because we can.. and do… get away with this outrageous nonsense.

A Gaza terror group, The Salah al-Din Brigades, fired 6 missiles into Israel in response to the Mohammad Cartoons being published in Denmark.

YNET reported:Six Qassams were fired from the northern Gaza Strip towards the western Negev since Sunday morning. All the rockets landed in open areas, without causing injuries or damage.

The Salah al-Din Brigades, the Popular Resistance Committees' military wing, claimed responsibility for firing the rockets. The organization's spokesman, Muhammad Abed al-Aal, told Ynet that the firing operation, dubbed "the lines of fire", was a response to the "crimes of the Israeli occupation against the Palestinians," but also "in response to the cartoons published in Denmark degrading the memory of Prophet Muhammad."

I suppose explaining to Islamic terrorists in the pseudo-state of Gaza’istan that Israel had nothing to do with the publishing of the mohammed cartoons would be an exercise in futility.

Don’t question it… it’s islamologic.

Hassan Nasrallah Parrots Iranian Threats Toward Israel

It’s not just coincidental that the islamist threats and arrogant bluster coming from Iran has risen in concert with their perceived ability to intimidate the Great Satan™ Western powers.

The nuclear jihad-obsessed talking turbans in Iran are looking to make 2008 the year of ramping up their “Kill the Jooooos” bluster. We’ve now been granted an audience (to include the chest heaving while reading from the islamist hate script) of I-rans paid stooge Hassan "Apocalypse Now” Nasrallah.

Hizbullah head Hassan Nasrallah on Friday said Israel's "disappearance" is an inevitable fact.
"If Israel's attacks Lebanon again, we will wage war without any preconditions," Nasrallah said during a speech in Beirut in honor of Hizbullah arch-terrorist Imad Mughniyeh, who was assassinated last week in Damascus.

"The disappearance of Israel is an inevitable fact. It is an historical process in the region which will come to an end in several years," he said.

According to Nasrallah, Hizbullah will not stand quiet following Mughniyeh's assassination.
"There is no possibility that we will not respond to the murder of our loved and dear ones. We will not allow the enemy to continue and murder our commanders and dear ones."

Nasrallah also said that Hizbullah has beat Israel many times in the past, the most recent time being the Second Lebanon war.

"We are ready for a new victory," he reiterated.

"After their loss in the war of Tamuz [Second Lebanon War], Israel is getting ready for a new war. I don't mean to scare, but warn."

They’re so cute when they get themselves all worked up in a lather and forget that it's 2008, not 1208.

This is the usual islamist scapegoating of blaming an external entity for the self inflicted ills that routinely afflict backward islamist fear societies.

Just this once, I wish islamists would consider this scenario for a moment. Let’s suppose that tomorrow morning; we discovered that Israel didn’t exist, that Israel was magically gone. How would this event change the Islamic world? Would the conditions which foster ignorance, poverty and corrupt rulers suddenly resolve themselves? No. Would the religious perspectives which foster grinding oppression of women suddenly cease? No. Would the disappearance of Israel suddenly cause corrupt religious leaders to close their schools of hate and intolerance?, would the population of Islamic nations suddenly embrace plurality and tolerance of those who believe differently (or not at all)? Again, The answer is no.

I’m always amazed at how Arab,moslem nations have allowed themselves to be seen as victims of Israel. Here is a tiny nation surrounded politically, physically and ideologically by larger nations and those larger nations are the victims? Left unsaid here is that ridding the M.E. of Israel would only cause fanatical religious types to seek alternate avenues to direct their hate. The propensity for many religious leaders who seek to shelter their adherents in poverty and ignorance would require a redirection of the anger of those subjected to its policies else that anger be directed inward.

Muslims criticise Walkers after it is revealed that some crisp varieties contain alcohol

Oh my, infidels, moslems are furious (stay tuned for the latest episode of Moslem Rage 2008 ™), because the West is not bending and scraping to "moslem needs". My, my, my, you terrible, culturally insensitive™ infidels.

Furious Muslims have heavily criticised Walkers crisps after it emerged that certain varieties of the manufacturer's products contain trace elements of alcohol.

Some crisp types use minute amounts of alcohol as a chemical agent to extract certain flavours.

The report in Asian newspaper Eastern Eye, highlights concerns raised by shopkeeper Besharat Rehman, who owns a halal supermarket in Bradford, West Yorkshire.

Mr Rehman told the paper: "A customer informed us that Sensations Thai Sweet Chilli and Doritos Chilli Heat Wave are not on Walkers' alcohol-free list. Our suppliers were unaware of this.

"Even if it is a trace amount of alcohol, Walkers should make it clear on the packaging so that the customer can make an informed choice.

"I feel frustrated and angry. I have let my customers down simply because such a big company like Walkers is not sensitive to Muslim needs.

Almost 1,400 years of history have shown again and again that whatever the infidel relinquishes to the ravenous, soul destroying beast of Islam, it will not buy security or peace. It only buys another incremental chipping away at our precepts of acting like a grown-up and a lot more entitlement by perpetual third world'ers, Which is why we shouldn't ever hesitate to respond with disdain and derision to silly, one sided claims of entitlement by these Dark Agers.

Starbucks mother flouted the law, say religious police in Saudi Arabia

A US businesswoman living in Saudi Arabia fears for her life after the religious police issued a rare statement defending her arrest this month for having coffee with a male colleague at a Starbucks coffee shop in Riyadh.

Yara, a 37-year-old married mother of three, said that she was strip-searched, forced to sign false confessions and told by a judge that she would “burn in hell”, before she was released on February 4.

The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice denounced her publicly with a statement posted on the internet on Monday night saying that her actions violated the Sharia of the country.

“It’s not allowed for any woman to travel alone and sit with a strange man and talk and laugh and drink coffee together like they are married,” it said.

“All of these are against the law and it’s clear it’s against the law. First, for a woman to work with men is against the law and against religion. Second, the family sections at coffee shops and restaurants are meant for families and close relatives,” it continued.

The commission contested the version of events from Yara, saying that she was never strip-searched or forced to sign confessions. It accused her of wearing make-up, not covering her hair and moving around suspiciously while sitting with her Syrian colleague, who was also arrested but later released.

In the surreal world of the islamist nation, what passes for "normal" is truly a manifestation of insanity.

You know, a point comes when a reasonable person has to acknowledge that the calendar reads 2008, not 1408. A reasonable person has also got to notice that the supposed "isolated incidents™ committed in the name of the backward death cult of islam and the retrograde, inhuman brutality carried out in Allah's name really aren't so isolated. The holy warriors who are responsible for these acts actually seem to be disturbingly ordinary in the context of their faith.

So few of us appear to be capable of noticing this simple phenomenon, let alone capable of expressing outrage over it.

The Usual Ranting of the Islamicidal

jpost is reporting on comments from Mahmoud "kill the Joooooos" Ahmadinejad and another of his saliva slinging tirades aimed at Israel. I'm thinking it does indeed look like the obligatory threats of the islamicidal.

So, guess whose fault it is that backward sharia/jihad terror states threaten to destroy sovereign democratic states and then kick their nuclear jihad program into overdrive? You guessed it: It's the fault of the infidels.

In yet another verbal attack against Israel, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called the Jewish state a "filthy bacteria" whose sole purpose was to oppress the other nations of the region.

"The world powers established this filthy bacteria, the Zionist regime, which is lashing out at the nations in the region like a wild beast," the Iranian president told supporters at a rally in southern Iran.

"[Israel] won support [from the other nations] which created it as a scarecrow, so as to keep the people of this area under control," Ahmadinejad said.

Referring to the assassination of Hizbullah terror chief Imad Mughniyeh, the Iranian leader said that Israel "uses terror as a threat every day, and afterwards is happy and joyful."

Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall Israel being the entity that initiated several wars of aggression against it's neighbors. But hey, let's not allow reason or common sense to color our worldviews.

Welcome to the bizarre, anti-sense world that passes as reality to the true-believing moslem. This worldview is not as aberrant and marginalized as many may think. Make no mistake: This is merely the articulation of the normative moslem attitude toward Jews and Israel.

The Religion of Forced Belief

Yes ladies and gentlemen, it's another example of that storied Religion of Peace tolerance and acceptance that we've come to see with such regularity.

Eight people have been arrested in Jordan for propagating the Christian faith, according to a Saudi newspaper.

Jordanian security forces arrested eight people, mostly foreigners, after they were caught distributing missionary material to Bedouin families north and east of the Jordanian capital, Amman, the Saudi daily Al-Watan reported.

The authorities received information about the missionaries from local residents who said these foreigners were offering humanitarian assistance to poor Muslim families and distributing fliers promoting Christianity.

Sources said they were "enticing" impoverished youngsters by paying them money and calling on them to marry foreign girls. Islam is the state religion in Jordan, though christianity is a recognized religion in the country. Evangelism is a practice frowned upon in the Muslim world, and often associated with Western imperialism.

The Jordanian government prohibits conversion from Islam and the proselytizing of Muslims. The Shari'a courts have the authority to prosecute people trying to convert Muslims, according to the United States State Department's annual report on religious freedom.

Muslims in Jordan who convert to another religion face social and
governmental discrimination, the report said.

Morals and ethics are claimed by moslems to be the result of the inerrancy of islam (an utterly untrue assertion with reams of evidence against it), which is then touted as this wondrous panacea that solves all the world's ills and makes all those who believe, people deserving of eternal paradise.

My expectation is that if islam is so beneficial that it must be forced on all (as is the belief of many moslems), then it follows adherents to it should be better people. If belief in that politico-religious ideology makes you less tolerant, more violent, then of what good is it?

140 Afghans killed in 2 days of bombings

The human plague of murder and destruction that is so closely associated with islam and which ruthlessly cuts down civilians with the holy imprimatur of religious belief is something peaceful inner strugglers™ dismiss with a simple “so what”. It must be nice to not ever be bothered by the nagging irritation of simple morality.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A suicide car bomber killed 38 Afghans at a crowded market Monday, pushing the death toll from two days of militant bombings to about 140.

The marketplace blast, which targeted a Canadian army convoy, came a day after the country's deadliest insurgent attack since a U.S. invasion defeated the Taliban regime in late 2001. The toll from that bombing in a crowd watching a dog fight rose to more than 100.

The back-to-back blasts in the southern province of Kandahar could be a sign insurgents are now willing to risk high civilian casualties while attacking security forces. Though their attacks occasionally have killed dozens, militants in Afghanistan have generally sought to avoid targeting civilians, unlike insurgents in Iraq's war.

"The attacks show that the enemies of Afghanistan are changing their tactics. Now they are not thinking about civilians at all," said Nasrullah Stanikzai, a professor of political science at Kabul University.

"They wanted to cause such big casualties in these attacks to weaken the morale of the government and the international community, to show the world the Afghan government is too weak to prevent them," he said.

The Taliban denied it carried out Sunday's attack, but immediately claimed responsibility for the market bombing, which took place in the town of Spin Boldak about 100 yards from the border with Pakistan.

Prepare yourselves, infidels. Behold the ranting of the islamicidal, "president" of Iran who is again issuing threats.

Mahmoud "mullocratically correct" Ahmadinejad seems to be getting a bit more strident - and a bit more desperate - with his OCD-like obsession with kill the Jooooos fervor. It can’t just be me who is concerned with a death-cultist who, convinced that the endtimes is his task to enable, is acquiring nukes.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called on the West Wednesday to acknowledge Israel's "imminent collapse."

Speaking to a crowd on a visit to the southern port of Bushehr, where Iran's first light-water nuclear power plant is being built by Russia, Ahmadinejad further incited his listeners to "stop supporting the Zionists, as [their] regime reached its final stage."

"Accept that the life of Zionists will sooner or later come to an end," the Iranian president said in a televised speech. He added, "What we have right now is the last chapter [of Israeli atrocities] which the Palestinians and regional nations will confront and eventually turn in Palestine's favor."

Iran does not acknowledge Israel and Ahmadinejad has in the past sparked international outcry by referring to the systematic murder of six million Jews in World War II as a "myth" and calling for Israel to be "wiped off the map."

…

Ahmadinejad also urged the Western powers to help build nuclear power plants in his country saying it will be too late if they do not decide to do so immediately.

"If you will not come, this nation will build nuclear plants based on its own resources and when you come some four years later it will reject your request and not then give you any opportunity," he said.

"I am addressing leaders of two or three powers; do you remember I sent you message and told you to stop be stubborn? If you think that you can block the movement of Iranian nation, you are wrong," the Iranian president continued.

Breathtaking, ain’t it?

I suspect the above is less flawed translation of syntax and verbiage than it is the rambling screed of one on the lunatic fringe. it’s impossible for someone such as Ahmadinejad to fathom that the islamist world will still embrace the religious and ethnic hatreds, tribal rivalries and economic malaise that it is continually embroiled in, absent the hated Joooos.

There are always those such as Armageddonjihad who will claim that their religion has an entitlement such that those who do not believe in it deserve death. I just don’t understand the workings of a mind that claims to worship a god of justice and then condemns anyone who disagrees with them to torture and death. On the other hand, this fits nicely with islamist dogma: life tends to be cheap in the islamist philosophy, mainly because the adherent’s belief that life continues after death (with various carnal rewards), or is replaceable by the gods. It is ultimately, even if only on a subconscious level, alright to kill someone because you are advancing the protocols of the belief system”.

It's just one of the latest examples of what a bellicose little tyrant, mired in a culture of death, can accomplish when he’s not distracted by matters like building a decent society or teaching their kids to love and respect life.

The True Face of Evil.

The Daily Mail (UK) is reporting on the life sentence handed down to a waste of space who really has no business drawing another breath. You can read the whole thing if you like, but my take on this sordid matter is simply this: Don't ever negotiate with, appease or cut a deal with Islamic terrorists. Ever. The West is still struggling, it seems, to shake off the habitual inclination to make concessions to evil for short-term gain at the cost of enriching and emboldening that evil in the long-term. It's a dangerous game, and if anyone's going to play it, it should be moslems who, more often than not, are the victims of islamic terrorism.

Life for Muslim fanatic in soldier kidnap plot who showed son, 5, how to behead British 'infidels'

A secret bugging device at the home of an Islamic fanatic convicted of a plot to kidnap and behead a British Muslim soldier recorded his attempts to teach his five-year-old son how to perform a beheading, it has been revealed.

Parviz Khan was jailed for life today for his involvement in the plot.

In mitigation, Michael Wolkind QC, defending Khan, told the court that his client's plot had been a "mixture of fanaticism and fantasy".

"His plan might have changed had British foreign policy changed," he said. "He might have withdrawn if the British troops were withdrawn."

Khan boasted to friends that he was waging financial war on the West while "bleeding" a monthly total of £1,669 in benefits from the British taxpayer.

It also emerged last week, in proceedings which could not be reported until today, that Khan wanted to burn the soldier's body and parade his head on a stick.

How many times do the Brits need to hear from the very people leeches that are bleeding them that the mulitcultural pleasure cruise to nowhere has run aground?

Violations of 'Islamic teachings' take deadly toll on Iraqi women

Because life for women in islamist society isn't quite hellish enough...

Iraq (CNN) -- The images in the Basra police file are nauseating: Page after page of women killed in brutal fashion -- some strangled to death, their
faces disfigured; others beheaded. All bear signs of torture.

The women are killed, police say, because they failed to wear a headscarf or because they ignored other "rules" that secretive fundamentalist groups want to
enforce.

"Fear, fear is always there," says 30-year-old Safana, an artist and university professor. "We don't know who to be afraid of. Maybe it's a friend or a student you teach. There is no break, no security. I don't know who to be afraid of."

Her fear is justified. Iraq's second-largest city, Basra, is a stronghold of conservative Shia groups. As many as 133 women were killed in Basra last year -- 79 for violation of "Islamic teachings" and 47 for so-called honor killings, according to IRIN, the news branch of the U.N.'s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. One glance through the police file is enough to understand the consequences. Basra's police chief, Gen. Abdul Jalil Khalaf, flips through the file, pointing to one unsolved case after another.

Well… at least we can be sure that someone's "honor" was preserved in the midst of this carnage.

Scared women hiding in their homes or under a shapeless black sack under threat of death for making a simple choice about how they covered their hair.

Super!

You know, I’ll just never understand a politico-religious ideology that so vigorously controls the women that make up approximately one half of it’s population. Well, I suppose you could understand it if you're a man in Islamic society.

With Islam, a man doesn't need to be bothered with providing moral or logical justification for his blatant sexism and misogyny. It's already pre-approved by God! It's not like women are suited to make their own choices about what they can or can't do with their lives anyway, right? Yeah, it's best just to keep them in check with a little koranic tough love.

Up to 80 killed in Afghan bombing

The major news services are reporting on a spectacular mass murder in Pakistan.

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - A suicide bomber penetrated a crowd watching a dog-fighting competition in the Taliban's former stronghold Sunday, killing up to 80 people in one of the bloodiest bombings since the regime's 2001
ouster.

The attack follows a year of record violence and predictions that the Afghan conflict could turn even deadlier this year.Several hundred people, including Afghan militia leaders, had gathered in a barren dirt field to watch the event on the western edge of the southern city of Kandahar.

Witnesses reported gunfire from bodyguards after the blast, but it was not immediately clear if the bullets killed or wounded anyone.A prominent militia commander who stood up against the Taliban was killed in the attack and officials said he may have been the target.

The bombing crumpled several Afghan police trucks and turned the field a bloody red.

Lots of excitement today in another of those islamist places known collectively as the land of hate. The ruthless calculus of hatred, misery, and death—in worship of a deity compels the Holy Warriors™ to plumb new depths of depravity.

These massively destructive acts of mega-terror murder aren't only aimed at killing moslems who aren't the right kind of moslems, they're also aimed toward sending a message to those of us in the west. It's a concerted effort of war and intimidation against the infidel also known as jihad.

It's certainly worth noting how any geographical location with a sizable Muslim population somehow ends up in one of two political situations: chaotic turmoil and violence or enforced stability under a ruthless autocrat.

Allahu Akbar

Fifth night of Danish immigrant riots

Some thoughts on a particularly creepy (but routine), example of reporting that is designed to spare our fragile, multicultural sensitivities from the truth. As we know, the Danes have again committed that unpardonable sin of poking fun at the war mongering inventor of the politico-religious ideology of islam.

The latest posting of the cartoon caricatures was done in a show of solidarity with Jyllands-Posten and Kurt Westergaard who has received death threat from peaceful inner struggling Mohammedans.

If we were to read this headline, from usatoday, one would come away curious as to why these “yutes” are taking to the streets in car burning, rampaging protest. I mean, did McDonalds change their special sauce? Were Mohammedans miffed that Christians were being persecuted in the Middle East and protesting as a result?

Apparently not! Please note that the word “Moslem” (or a variant), is not once used in this slanted piece. Because, you know, the poor people who live by a demented code of entitlement and murder couldn’t possibly wage a terrorist hate campaign against a successful democratic people. The immigrant youth™ (with assistance from the self hating leftist scumbags) are trying to stay relevant in a typically juvenile Arab/moslem show of teenage bravado. The Yeah, yeah, me too! act.

So guess who is simply reveling in a veritable Harrah’s casino Sunday brunch buffet of slanted islamo-apologizing moral relativism? You guessed it: our pals in mainstream media. As we see in another, more lucid bit of commentary depicted , the reason excuse given for the Mohammedan hordes spilling into the streets in an orgy of violence and destruction is in protest of a Western democracy exercising one of the hallmark precepts of a free society: Free expression. I know all of you will find this as shocking SHOCKING! as I did but apparently silly caricatures of a historical figure who lead three religious wars of aggression and conquest and participated in 72 other military conflicts is beyond criticism.

The fact that the Danes don’t have a zero tolerance policy for Mohammedans and their socially destructive rampages of juvenile idiocy is, as always, thoroughly vile. They, (the Danes), simply don’t care or are too disabled by the disease of leftism and political correctness to confront the immigrant scourge. How many innocent Danes are allowed to be brutalized or have their property destroyed by the Mohammedans and their jihad/islamo-political misadventure?

One would have hoped that this latest display of islamo-entitlement to mayhem and destruction would have been the “yutes” last gasp, because the Danes have had their share of islamo-street murders and open threats to their society. But as we see, the Danes have not yet reached the end of their tolerance for chronic Arab/Islamic entitlement.
