An endless cycle of carnage, fueled by hatreds older than a millennium, and protected from scrutiny by modern-day political correctness. “22 killed in Iraq, most attending religious ritual,” by Sinan Salaheddin for the Associated Press, November 14 (thanks to Kenneth): BAGHDAD “” Attacks across Iraq targeting security forces and those marking a major Shiite commemoration […]
Iraq: Sunni jihadists explode 10 car bombs in Shi’ite districts, murdering at least 37 people
3,000 civilians killed in Iraq so far this year. Yet the people who are so upset about drone attacks don’t seem concerned about Sunni-Shi’ite jihad violence at all. Oddly enough! Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Ten car bomb blasts across Baghdad province kill dozens,” by Kareem Raheem, Isabel Coles and Andrew Heavens for Reuters, October 27 (thanks […]
“Kill them all. Kill the Shia.” Shia Muslims from Detroit attacked at hajj
Some of them were cast members of the reality TV show “All-American Muslim.” Why didn’t they just explain to the attackers that they were twisting and hijacking the Religion of Peace, and feeding the narrative of greasy Islamophobes? That would have ended the incident in a jiffy. Note that they were also called insulting names […]
Iraq: Sunni jihad-martyrdom suicide bomber murders at least 13 people in Shi’ite village
This cycle of violence and revenge, violence and revenge, will never end, because it is called for and sanctioned by Islam. “And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds […]
Iraq: Shi’ite Islamic jihadists murder 12 Sunnis with bomb targeting people coming out of a mosque
How many mosquegoers have Islamic jihadists murdered? Thousands. How many mosquegoers have “Islamophobes” murdered? None. Yet the world is much more concerned about the latter than the former. “Bomb near mosque in northern Iraq kills 12 Sunnis,” by Sameer N. Yacoub for the Associated Press, October 15: BAGHDAD (AP) – A bomb ripped through a […]
Iraq: Islamic jihadists set off car bomb targeting shoppers, murdering 17
But remember: the real problem is “Islamophobia.” Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Iraq car bomb targeting shoppers kills 17,” from Al Arabiya, October 12: A car bomb exploded on Saturday in a crowded street in a city north of Iraq’s capital, killing 17 people and wounding 35. The blast in Samarra came as people shopped ahead of […]
Iranian Ayatollah says “Shia-Sunni tension is created to benefit and defend the weak and illegitimate state of Israel”
Once again we see the Islamic supremacist deflection of responsibility. Ayatollah Qommi couldn’t offer an honest evaluation of why Sunnis and Shi’ites are fighting one another, because that would touch on Sunni-Shi’ite hot buttons that he didn’t want to discuss while speaking in Sunni Pakistan (where so much of the violence has taken place). How […]
Iraq: Islamophobe murders 24 people at mosque — no, wait…
Oddly enough, the “Islamophobes” who are at the center of international opprobrium did not pull off this one, either. Actually this particular mass murder was perpetrated by Sunni jihadis as part of the Sunni jihad against Shi’ites, about which the international community is not particularly concerned. “Suicide bomber kills 24 at Iraq mosque,” from the […]
Robert Spencer in FrontPage Magazine: Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad in Iraq
In FrontPage this morning I discuss the jihad carnage in Iraq that has been little remarked-upon because of the jihad carnage in Kenya, the jihad carnage in Pakistan, and the jihad carnage in Nigeria. Largely overlooked as world attention focused on the jihad massacre in an upscale Nairobi mall was a series of jihad bombings […]
Iraq: Sunni jihad martyrdom suicide bombers murder at least 92 at Shi’ite funerals
“There’s still a tendency to see these things in Sunni-Shia terms. But the Middle East is going to have to overcome that.” – Condoleezza Rice, January 2007. Six years later, Washington is even more clueless than it was then. Sunni-Shi’ite Jihad Update: “Suicide bombers kill at least 92 at Shiite funerals in Baghdad, around Iraq,” […]
