No, not the Jews (despite what most of the Mideast believes)… the Islamists:
A suicide car bomber blew himself up outside a Shi’ite mosque north of Baghdad on Friday, killing 11 and wounding 24, the latest attack in a three-day surge of violence that has killed more than 200 people.
The blast came two days after Iraq’s al Qaeda leader, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, declared an all-out war on the country’s Shi’ite Muslim majority.
Iraqi police Captain Saed Ahmed said the bomb went off outside the Great Prophet mosque in Tuz Khurmatu, a mixed Sunni and Shi’ite town 160 km (100 miles) north of the capital, as worshippers were emerging from prayers on the Muslim holy day.
He said a Saudi wearing an explosives-laden belt, who was apparently working with the bomber, was arrested soon after.
Militants have frequently attacked Shi’ite mosques over the past 18 months in an apparent attempt to goad Iraq’s Shi’ite majority into retaliation and spark a sectarian civil war with the Sunni Arab minority, once dominant under Saddam Hussein.
The mass hysteria caused at the mere suggestion that a Jewish person dares to even set foot near a Muslim holy spot is enough to cause war. And yet, the terrorists frequently stockpile weapons in mosques, attack mosques of their enemies, and destory holy places belonging to pretty much every religion. Why is it that nobody even blinked at the torching of synagogues in former Gaza settlements by Palestinians… and yet could you even fathom the world’s outcry if a Jewish person so much as dropped a speck of dirt in a mosque?
It’s the spent Uranium dust that makes ’em that way.
Don’t ya just love those Krrrrrazy Koranic Kapers!
Let’s not be judgemental here….lest we judge ’em mental!
Oh spare me the sob stories. Jews have in both 1948 and 1967 razed mosques. Entire villages too.
Tre
Shame on you!
No, you spare us your lies and mis-directions that you and your racist muslim brothers try to hoist on us as ‘truth’. Sure maybe one or two ‘houses’ were destroyed in the course of the many wars with the arabs, BUT your sides records of destroying anything remotely religious and non-muslim/Jewish is atrocious, and in times of peace as well.Be ashamed, you are an embarrassment H. You are galloways and sadams child.You know, I was hoping that you would change, but alas, you won’t.Your sides record of bigotry and hate speaks volumes.Don’t try your silly ‘victim’ games here.You only show how fraudulent your cause really is.
Ah but Tré, that’s an inaccurate analogy.
You’d have a solid case had Jews blown up other Jews and destroyed their synagogues.
Sari’s posting is about Shias blowing up Sunnis, Muslim killing Muslim…you know, like attacking like.
The only equivalent ( sort of) that comes to mind is the Catholic/Protestant sectarian strife in N Ireland.
But even they rarely attack each other’s houses of worship
I wasn’t trying to make an analogy but if I was, you would be correct. I was reading something else at the same time and responded to it instead of this post. In any case, it seems the people, not the mosques, were the target. The mosque on Friday is just a convenient place as Israelis know all too well.
Oh, turns out I was responding to this post. Destroyed synagogues in Gaza.
you said”I wasn’t trying to make an analogy’
Admit it, you goofed.By not admitting it, you look like an ass.
Nani nani boo boo.
Who’s this “Nani nani” person you speak of? (the one who made the boo boo…);)
