Four arrested after Rotterdam synagogue explosion: Ashah Al Yamin claims responsibility

Four young men, aged seventeen to nineteen, were arrested in Rotterdam after an explosive device detonated at a synagogue in the heart of the city. No one was injured, thank God, though the blast at around 3:40 a.m. left its mark on the building and, one suspects, on the nerves of every Jew in the Netherlands.

The terrorism suspects, all from Tilburg, were apprehended when police stopped a car prowling suspiciously near another synagogue. The driver's description matched one of the perpetrators from the earlier attack. One can only imagine the scene: young men in a vehicle, perhaps flushed with the adrenaline of what they had just done, now suddenly confronted by officers who had pieced it together with commendable speed.

A group calling itself Ashab Al Yamim, a hitherto unknown Shi'ite terror outfit, has claimed responsibility. 

This is no idle boast; the same shadowy organization has recently launched a series of assaults on Jewish institutions, including a bombing at a synagogue in Liège, Belgium, and another attack in Greece. One is tempted to ask: where do these groups spring from, fully formed, with videos and statements ready to hand out? While the name translates roughly as "Companions of the Right,"  their actions suggest something altogether darker: proxies, perhaps, in a wider campaign of intimidation that has escalated since the joint US-Israeli operations against Iran commenced in late February.

It is difficult not to see a pattern here. Jewish communities across the West find themselves under siege. 

Earlier this week, a synagogue in Michigan was rammed by a vehicle in an incident involving an active shooter. In Canada, several synagogues have endured targeted shootings over the past month. And now this in Rotterdam, arson by explosion, claimed by a new Shi'ite entity whose emergence coincides precisely with heightened tensions in the Middle East.

The police, to their credit, have increased surveillance at other synagogues throughout the city and launched an extensive investigation. [What can their motive possibly be?] 

Whether the four suspects intended further targets remains unconfirmed, but the question hangs in the air: how many more such plots are being hatched, even as we speak?

One cannot help but reflect on the broader malaise. Europe, once so proud of its post-war tolerance, now watches as its Jewish citizens, citizens who have every right to worship in peace, are forced to live behind heightened security, metal detectors, and armed guards. The euphemisms of "heightened concerns" and "increased surveillance" mask a grim reality: Jews are once again being hunted in the streets of European cities, this time under the banner of a resurgent ideological war exported from the Middle East.

As any great historian of totalitarianism might have observed, the first step toward barbarism is the normalization of targeting a particular group. 

We are well past the first step now. The question is whether the West still possesses the moral clarity, and the will, to confront it before the next explosion claims not just windows and doors, but lives.

Iraq follows Muhammad's lead and lowers marriage age to 9-year-old

The prophet of Islam Muhammad, married Aisha bint Abi Bakr ( c. 613/614 – July 678) when she was six-years-old and still playing with dolls. The marriage was consummate later after the child's father's begged Mo to wait until she was older. So the pedophile waited until she was nine and then sexually abused her because that's what it's called.

What a guy.

When the United States invaded Iraq on March 20, 2003, the aim was to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein and modernize the Islamic country by freeing them of their Islamic bonds. There would now be open elections and the people would have say in their government.

When we officially withdrew our combat troops on December 18, 2011, everything went back to "Iraq normal." So if you should enter Iraq, make sure you set your watches back 1400 years because they're back at it.

The Iraqi Parliament is currently preparing to take a page out of Islamic scripture and go back to the good old days by amending their Personal Status Law. This basically eliminates all women's rights and lowers the minimum marriage age for girls to nine and boys to fifteen. 

This is just the start.

The Iraqi Parliament debated amendments to the Personal Status Law on Sunday that would effectively dissolve the country’s universal standards to protect women and girls on matters such as consent to marriage, alimony, and custody of children by allowing men to opt out, choosing traditional Shi'ite or Sunni Islamic mandates, instead. 

Little girls would have no choice.

Although child marriages, sex slavery, and other abuses are rampant in modern-day Iraq, they are not technically legal. Iraqi law currently requires both men and women to be 18 years old to enter marriage, allows a woman to inherit her husband’s assets in the event of his death, and allows for unconditional inter-religious marriage.

But that's set to change and feminists in the US have been silent.

The amendments to the secularized Personal Status Law was passed in 1959, and would allow the relevant men in a marriage or proposed marriage to choose whether to apply Sunni sharia rules or Shiite sharia. It does not discuss other religions, such as Christianity, Zoroastrianism, or the Yazidi faith, which once boasted vibrant constituencies in Iraq but were almost entirely exterminated by the Islamic State (ISIS) “caliphate” in the past decade. Members of minority religions would most likely have to abide by the current form of the Personal Status Law if Muslims are in control.

Iraq Presidential Palace Breached but US Denies Embassy Evacuation

Haydar Karaalp/Anadolu Agency/Getty Images

Iraq's presidential palace was breached Monday in response to a Shi'ite cleric announcing his resignation from politics to pursue a career as a standup comic at a Gaza Strip club. [He has been working on an opening line joke: "A Jewish guy walks into a mosque."]

A video appears to show U.S. Embassy employees in Baghdad being airlifted by a helicopter.

John Kirby, the empty-suit coordinator for strategic communications at the National Security Council, later claimed that there was no evacuation of U.S. Embassy personnel, in contrast with earlier reports.

“There’s no evacuation going on at the embassy and no indication that’s going to be required at this time,” Kirby told Democrat note-takers, [aka reporters] according to The Hill.

Concerns of unrest have grown recently, with the U.S. Embassy in Iraq releasing a statement last week urging calm among all parties.

“We are closely monitoring reports of unrest in Baghdad today at the Supreme Judicial Council,” an embassy spokesperson said.

“We urge all parties to remain calm, abstain from violence, and resolve any political differences through a peaceful process guided by the Iraqi constitution. We also call for those demonstrating to respect the proceedings and property of Iraq’s governmental institutions which belong to and serve the Iraqi people,” the spokesperson added, tongue-in-cheek. 

The Iraqi government has been in controversy since October when cleric Muqtada al-Sadr’s party won the most seats in the election but failed to reach the number needed to form a majority government, kind of like what happened in Canada with Trudeau. The Shi'ite leader refused to negotiate with Iran-backed Shi'ites to create a consensus government because only no good can come from that.

Al-Sadr’s supporters staged a government sit-in over the past four weeks to prevent political/religious rivals from forming an opposing coalition government. His party members have also announced their resignations, with al-Sadr joining in solidarity. "I will do comedy now," said al-Sadr.

The leaders’ statement was in response to the retirement of the Shia spiritual leader Ayatollah Kadhim al-Haeri, who counts many of al-Sadr’s supporters as followers. The Ayatollah plans to open a university in Italy calling it "Ayatollah U." It will specialize in Critical Racist Theory and chemical engineering.

On Sunday, al-Haeri announced he was stepping down and called on his followers to support Iran’s main Shi'ite leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei instead of the Shia spiritual center in Najaf, Iraq.

In response, several hundred crazed protesters breached the concrete barriers outside the palace gates and stormed the building. Iraq’s military issued a curfew and has called on protesters to leave immediately.

Some protesters have decided to stay despite the warning, with video surfacing of intruders enjoying the palace swimming pool, much like the Jan. 6 "insurrectionists," in which Ashli Babbitt, an unarmed female "insurrectionist" climbed through a window and was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer, with a questionable history regarding his use of his firearm.

Outside of the palace, other protesters ran from gunfire The Jerusalem Post reported .The gunfire was believed to be from the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) firing to stop demonstrators dead in their tracks.

Iraq’s Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has reportedly been evacuated as a safety precaution.

As of this posting, some outlets are reporting that the U.S. Embassy is evacuating the building via helicopter, proving just how empty John Kirby's suit really is. Also, Reuters reports that thus far, 10 people have been killed and dozens injured in clashes, and various groups are throwing rocks at each other.

Taliban refuses to help US contain their fellow terrorists in Afghanistan

It's hard to believe the Taliban isn't doing what Biden expected them to do. Now the guys with the turbans and the beards are refusing to help the US deal with their brothers in scumduggery so concerns about the group continue to mount after their refusal to work with us to combat Islamic jihad in Afghanistan.

“We are able to tackle Daesh independently,” Taliban political spokes terrorist Suhail Shaheen, told the AP. [Daesh is the Arabic acronym for ISIS.] 

Shaheen's statement came a few hours before senior Taliban terrorists and U.S. representatives were ready to meet and greet to talk about Islamic extremist groups and also discuss the evacuation of remaining Americans and Afghans with special visas from Afghanistan. But Shaheen's words could create serious complications at the meeting.

U.S. officials will ask [aka beg] the Taliban to uphold its commitment to allow safe passage for the remaining U.S. citizens and other foreign nationals to leave Afghanistan, along with any Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the war who have not already been killed along with their children and spouses.

The AP reported:

“The weekend meetings in Doha are the first since U.S. forces withdrew from Afghanistan in late August, ending a 20-year military presence, and the Taliban rose to power in the nation. The U.S. has made it clear the talks are not a preamble to recognition. The talks also come on the heels of two days of difficult discussions between Pakistani officials and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman in Islamabad. The focus of those talks was also Afghanistan. Pakistani officials urged the U.S. to engage with Afghanistan’s new rulers and release billions of dollars in international funds to stave off an economic meltdown.”

Pakistan officials taking the moral high ground tried to convince the softer, gentler Taliban to be more inclusive by recognizing human rights and Afghanistan’s minority ethnic and religious groups. In other words, to stop killing people for sport.

On Friday, an ISIS homicide bomber killed 46 inside an Afghan Shi'ite mosque because the Sunni Muslim Taliban believes Shi'ites aren't real Muslims and need to be destroyed just for that. 

Call me crazy but any religion that refuses to allow for theological debate and kills those who attempt it, is not a strong religion but a political movement.

Meanwhile, Shi'ite clerics have pleaded with the Taliban after the Friday attack asking for more protection at their mosques. ISIS-K claimed responsibility and identified the terrorist, who blew himself up into little morsels in order to kill a different kind of Muslim, as a Uyghur Muslim. Those are the same Muslims being held mainly as slaves by Communist China, by the way, and whom the Biden administration is looking the other way at this human rights violation.

ISIS-K said the attack targeted both Shi'ites and the Taliban for their purported willingness to expel Uyghurs to meet demands from China. It was the deadliest attack, thus far, since foreign troops left Afghanistan at the end of August. 

But give it time and you can bet they'll try to beat their record as experts believe the attack is just the beginning, as the Taliban government appears willing to appease China to receive economic benefits from the communist country’s Belt and Road initiative.

Like President Biden, the Taliban lies more often than it tells the truth. They already lied about their claim that they will allow women to hold jobs in government but let's hope and pray they will abide by what they agreed to regarding Americans and others and allow them to travel to the United States.

But don't hold your breath.

Afghan mosque attacker kills scores of Shi'ites

The extremist Sunni Muslims and the extremist Shi'ite Muslims cannot even get along with each other, much less with infidels.

A suicide jihadi rushed into Afghanistan's largest Shi'ite mosque in Herat province Tuesday night. He opened fire on worshippers then blew himself to bite-size bits. 

The early report claims he killed at least 20 and wounded dozens more, according to provincial governor's spokesman Jalani Farhad. However, Mehdi Hadid, a lawmaker from Herat (which when unscrambled spells 'heart') estimated the carnage to be at least 100 dead and wounded.

The attack on the Jawadia Mosque began in the middle of evening prayers when the mosque was overloaded with about 300 Shi'ite Muslims.

Dr. Mohammed Rafique Shehrzai of Herat Main Hospital confirmed 20 bodies were brought to the hospital in Herat City Tuesday night soon after the blast took their lives.

Whenever a minority in a Muslim community exists, they are considered infidels and are treated to the wrath of the 'true believers' who happen to be the majority. 

In this case it's the Shi'ites who are the minority in Afghanistan and have been threatened by the affiliate of the Islamic State group that rarely showers in the country's eastern part.

No one immediately claimed responsibility because he's dead, but neither did any group of terrorists.

Hadid rushed to the mosque after hearing about the explosion and was told the jihadi fired on the private guards outside the mosque before going in guns blazing. He kept firing until his rifle jammed--evidently jihadis clean their weapons as often as they clean themselves.

Then he blew himself up, flew to heaven on a rainbow unicorn and claimed his virgins.

IS disputes Iran sent their mastermind of twin attacks to hell

Tehran, Iran -- Iran claims they killed the alleged mastermind of twin attacks last week, attacks for which the Islamic State claimed responsibility.

IRNA news agency, the official propaganda agency of Iran, quoted Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi on Sunday saying the suspect left Iran for a neighboring country after the attacks but "was sent to hell" by Iranian intelligence agents and "fellow intelligence services." 

Alavi provided no evidence for the claim, but the real story isn't about the killing of the terrorist, but of Iran's claim they sent him to hell. IS strongly disputes that and say that "this martyr for Allah has surely been invited into Paradise and will get his full compliment of 72 virgins."

The Islamic State, like Alavi, have provided no evidence for that claim, but they stand behind the statement. Like James Comey, they feel that it's true.

Five attackers for Allah stormed Iran's parliament and a shrine of Iran's revolutionary leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini on Wednesday. This set of clashes with security forces and at least 17 people died defending their version of Allah against the attackers' version.

Iran stated the attackers were all killed and had fought for the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq. It says dozens more have been detained in connection with this religious attack by Sunni Muslims against Shi'ite Muslims.

So much for the religion of peace.

Sanctions on Iran to be imposed by US

Now that Iran has for at least the twelfth time violated UN resolution 2231, and Donald Trump has replaced Barack Obama as president, the United States is expected to announce new sanctions on multiple Iranian entities will be imposed on the largest terrorist-funding nation. The exact nature of these sanctions may be announced as early as Friday.

Any new sanctions would not violate the Iran nuclear deal of 2015, but would be related directly to terrorism-related activities and ballistic missile-related activities that are under separate U.S. executive orders that are in existence. 

Earlier in the week, national security adviser Michael Flynn put Iran "on notice." This was echoed on Thursday by President Trump and we have made it clear that the U.S. will act against Iran unless it ceases ballistic missile testing and supporting the Houthi rebels in Yemen.

Trump tweeted, "Iran has been formally PUT ON NOTICE for firing a ballistic missile. Should have been thankful for the terrible deal the U.S. made with them!"

Disappointed!

The President wrote another tweet saying: "Iran was on its last legs and ready to collapse until the U.S. came along and gave it a life-line in the form of the Iran Deal: $150 billion."

President Trump had the money figure wrong--the Obama badministration gave Iran access to about $100 billion of its own money that had been frozen in foreign bank accounts. We did not give them any of our own money.

On Wednesday, when Flynn said: "As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice," he had accused them of threatening our allies and spreading instability throughout the Middle East and faulting the Obama badministration for doing too little.

Flynn wasn't specific by what he meant by "on notice," but senior Trump officials said they were seriously considering a "range of options." These include economic measures and greater support for Iran's adversaries. It is not clear what, if any, military measures are being considered.

Iran's acting commander of the Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salami told Tasnim news agency that Iran will "never change direction by a world power's demand, and our missile and non-missile power will be updated every day."

He made no mention of the return of the Twelfth Imam and the Iranian people's willingness to die to speed up 'the end of times.'

A majority of Shi'ite Muslims believe in the "12th Imam" born in 868 A.D. and that he was place by God into hiding (known as occultation) until the day of judgment. Many Shi'ites refer to the 12 Imam as the Mahdi (Arabic for "messiah" or "guide").

Though Islam cannot say when the 12th Imam will make his grand entrance again, they think when he comes, he will end the misery of his people.

Ray Tallman, director of the school of intercultural studies at Golden Gate Seminary said the major eschatological question for Shi'ite Muslims is when the Mahdi's return will take place, and many believe the time is near.

Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not only believes in the return of the Mahdi, but that the return is the responsibility of the Iranian government to prepare the country for his return.

In spite of the fact that Shi'ites and Sunnis frequently battle each other, they both have common efforts to destroy Israel, which is a critical part of Islam taking over the world and ushering in the Mahdi.

So you can imagine the Iranians are not afraid of developing nuclear weaponry and using it. In fact, many of the more religious Shi'ites welcome the idea of doing so to bring the 12th Imam out of the "religious closet,' so to speak.

What the Trump administration is doing is totally necessary to weaken this crazy nation of wannabe Paradise-dwellers. They are putting them on notice telling them they need to rething their behavior. 

We are not going to stand for it anymore and we're not going to be predictable, like the guy who came before Trump and took his red crayons with him when he left.

Iran bans US from going there-like we can't wait

Iran is now banning US citizens from entering their friendly, fun vacation land after President Trump has banned citizens from seven predominantly Muslim countries from coming to the US. They are saying that our ban is an "obvious insult to the Islamic world."

Iran is one of the seven countries that is being banned for 120 days. This has angered the Shi'ite nation but that's a very low bar to get over. The Shia don't even get along with other Muslim sects who also don't get along with them.

So my plans are ruined. I was all ready to go to Tehran to attend the "Gay Festival Hangout." It's fun for the whole family. Afterward there's going to be a "Stones Gala" that they say if you miss it, you're not Muslim enough. I'm told that stones will be provided to all who want to give it a go.

But really, any American or Westerner, for that matter, would be crazy to go there unless they actually have family. For those that do, it's really a sad, but the idea that we need to choose between being 'Merkelishly' liberal and admit people to the US who may be jihadists, or inconvenience some of them for a while until we are comfortable having them here.

Isn't it weird that the "Islamic world" is insulted whenever the US wants to defend itself from jihadist terrorism.

Iranian-back Houthis fire on Navy destroyer

According to the Pentagon, Houthi rebels fired two missiles at a U.S. Navy destroyer during operations off the coast of Yemen on Sunday. They were either lousy shots or missed the destroyer on purpose. I go with the first one.

But a U.S. defense official said that the ship, although was not hit, was definitely targeted.

This bellicose escalation occurred only a week after our Navy sent warships to the area when a United Arab Emirates flagged auxiliary ship was destroyed off the coast of Yemen by the same Houthis.

Pentagon spokesman Capt. Jeff Davis said, "We assess the missiles were launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The United States remains committed to ensuring freedom of navigation everywhere in the world, and we will continue to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety of our ships and our service members."

This incident is not so much on the Houthis--it's on Iran. They're the ones who gave them the missiles and we need to reassess the nuclear deal and our relationship with these terrorists.

"In the first instance USS Mason employed onboard defensive measures, although it is unclear whether this led to the missile striking the water or whether it would have struck the water anyway," an official told Fox News.

The USS Mason was conducting routine operations in international waters when the Houthis fired the missiles, but an exact location was not given.

"Beyond that, the incident is under investigation, and we hope to have more details for you in the coming days," the official said. "We take this very seriously. We will protect our people."

Yemen's Shi'ite Muslim rebels offered no reason for the missile launches which came after a Saudi-led airstrike targeting a funeral in Yemen's capital which killed over 140 people, and wounding 525 people.

Iraq militia leader who killed 4 Americans is back on the battlefield

A commander of an Iran-backed Shi'ite militia in Iraq has teased our military by implying his fighters could blend in with Iraqi forces and kill unsuspecting Americans on the battlefield. 

This, of course, is against the rules of war as per the Geneva Convention, but that's more like a joke to Islamic fighters. They don't fight fairly as we do, which is why they have a better chance of winning. 

"It's as if we're standing in a boxer's stance in the ring and they go and kick us in the balls," said Army Spec. Percy Plimpton. "We need to kick them in the balls first, and harder."

We try to get them to like us. We even tried it with Qais al-Khazali (who refuses to place a "u" after the "Q" in his name) by allowing his release from U.S. custody in 2010 after he killed 4 American soldiers three years prior to that. 

But he still doesn't like us and that means our president, Barack Hussein Obama, was wrong when he said he could get the Islamic nations to like us once he got the oceans to rise. 

Al-Khazali led the paramilitary group Asaib Ahl al-Haq, and "brags that he can wear any uniform in the Iraqi military, meaning that right now, his men are part of the Iraqi security forces that our men and women are training and advising. All he has to do is give the order," Michael Pregent told Fox News' "America's Election HQ" Monday. Pregent, who is about to become a gentleman, is also a former military intelligence officer. "He will return to violence, and he has American blood on his hands."

"Yeah, blood. Tell me about it," said Hillary Clinton in private to Huma Abedin.

Al-Khazali told Reuters "The Americans do not trust us because we resisted them during the occupation. This is no prospect (for cooperation)."

The militia commander also said that the U.S. didn't want to destroy ISIS outright, but instead, wanted to "exploit" the Sunni terror network as part of its goal to draw new borders across the Middle East. He also said the Holocaust was a hoax and that Jews and Christians are descendants of apes and pigs.

Al-Khazali was captured in 2007 and accused of helping to mastermind a sophisticated attack on an Iraqi government compound in the city of Karbala, in Shiite land. One American soldier died in the attack and four were kidnapped and later executed a few miles from the scene.

In 2010 he was handed over to the Iraqis around the same time Peter Moore was freed by a militia. The U.S. denied it was a "quid pro quo" deal (much like they deny the $400 million we gave Iran was not ransom) and claimed al-Khazali's release was part of a security agreement to move some suspects into Iraqi custody.

And like many terrorists who were caught and released, reappeared on the battlefield and killed again. 

Some of the families of the dead soldiers sued Iran last year, accusing them of directing the attack with the aid of its militias.

This is a very crazy way to fight an enemy.

Iran tricks families of executed prisoners

This is the country we've made a nuclear deal with and President Obama believes is living up to the deal, as bad as it was in the first place--Iran, a place where chants of "Death to America," "Death to Israel" are a daily ritual.

And it's death that Iranians seem to excel in over all other things except for praying five times a day to their god they call Allah, the Pagan moon god.

The families of at least 20 Iranian prisoners scheduled for death by hanging were called by the Islamic government of Iran. They were told that this would be their last opportunity to say goodbye to their loved ones.

When they got to the prison, they were told to pick up the body of their loved one instead--they had already been hanged with some of them hastily buried. And the family members of those still above-ground were told to pick up the bodies at the prison morgue.

Coincidentally, all the dead were Sunnis while the large majority of Iranians are Sh'ite Muslims.

The government accused them of sundry crimes ranging from murder, bombings, robberies and undermining national security. (Thankfully, Hillary Clinton was never in Iranian government.)

Some of the prisoners were accused of participating in attacks by a Takfiri Salafist group known as "Monotheism and Jihad." Iranian intelligence authorities claim were responsible for two dozen attacks which killed 21 Shi'ites over a 2 year period.

The families of the prisoners and rights groups say the prisoners never received fair trials and they were tortured into making their confessions while liberals here opposed pouring water on the heads of terrorists in order to gain information that might save American lives.

One young Kurdish man, Shahram Ahmadi, 28, was tortured for 43 months while kept in solitary confinement. His charge was "emnity against God."

Kurdish lives matter.

Iran has a fine reputation of killing their prisoners and then notifying the family Shahin Gobadi said. Gobadi is a member of the National Council of Resistance in Iran Foreign Affairs Committee. "One explanation for this is that the regime is afraid of public backlash and protests outside the prison by families to halt the executions."

It should tell you pretty much all you need to know as to what kind of people the Iranian government is comprised of, and just how much we can trust them with the nuclear deal.

They even hate dogs.

The notion that human rights exists at all in Iran is as crazy as someone thinking the $400 million dollars we paid to them wasn't ransom money.

Death returns to Baghdad in jihadist attacks

Baghdad -- A jihadist, along with his truck bomb, drove into downtown Baghdad, screamed Allahu Akbar (Allah is greater) and blew himself up. He killed 115 people less "religious" people than he, and wounded about 200 more who were out shopping as they celebrated Eid al-Fitr, the ending of Ramadan, their Islamic holiday.  

ISIS claimed responsibility of the deadliest attack in months, in spite of the recent gains such as the retaking of Fallujah from them.

ISIS, or the Islamic State, is composed of a group of Muslims who follow Islam to the letter. The only thing radical about them is some of the savage methods they use to kill the infidels.

Infidels are considered by ISIS to be anyone, Muslims included, who do not believe the Koran's teachings and the fact of abrogation of the peaceful suras within the Koran.

The truck bomb detonated just after midnight in a busy shopping area in the central Karada district. The dead include 15 children, 10 women and 6 policemen. Twelve others are still missing and are believed to be dead. Most of the dead were inside a multi-story shopping mall and amusement area. Dozens were burned to death or suffocated, police said.

"It was like an earthquake," Karim Sami, a 35-year-old street vendor said. "I wrapped up my goods and was heading home when I saw a fireball with a thunderous bombing. I was so scared to go back and started to make phone calls to my friends, but none answered."

It was later learned that one of his friends was killed, one was wounded and one is still missing.

ISIS claimed that they were targeting Shi'ite Muslims because according to the terror group, "they don't know squat about 'real Islam' like we do and this is our way of calling them out on it."

The Associated Press couldn't verify if the attack was, indeed, against the Shi'ites, but it could have been, or it could have been against the Amish, for all ISIS cares. If you're not part of the Islamic State, you deserve to die, as far as they're concerned.

In another part of Baghdad, a roadside bomb exploded in the Shaab neighborhood, which is mostly Shi'ite. Five were killed and 16 wounded. While ISIS didn't claim responsibility, it's likely they're the culprits.

ISIS views all Shi'ites as apostates which means they are deserving of death, like the Jews, the Christians, Hindus, Sikhs, gays and lots of etceteras.

President Obama, true to form, condemned the bombings in the strongest possible terms, causing fear and loathing within the ISIS community. He made it clear that the bombings would not be tolerated as they cause a serious level of pollution to the environment and take away the focus from gun control issues, which he holds dear to his heart.

Unprecedented: Kerry makes an evidence-based decision

In a move certain to put him in bad standing with the Obama administration, Secretary of State John Kerry has decided that the Islamic State is killing Christians on purpose. 

"Some may call it genocide," Kerry said, 'but I just think that they are doing it on purpose because they are targeting Christians and other minority groups on purpose because they refuse to acknowledge the fact that Islam is a religion of peace."

President Obama was visibly angry with Kerry's decision, a decision that required more than just evidence, a decision that required over 34,000 Twitter suggestions that Kerry is as intelligent as a box of rocks. 

That was all it took for him to realize that he couldn't wait any longer. After all, it is Saint Patrick's Day and if Patrick were alive today, the Islamic State would have killed him. Thus, Kerry met the congressional deadline for once.

Luckily for ISIS (Barack fondly calls them ISIL) Kerry's decision will not obligate the United States to do anything about it, much like the United States didn't do anything about Adolf Hitler's genocidal decision to exterminate the Jews until 6 million of them were killed.

So ISIS can go on killing Christians, Yazidis, Shi'ites and Jews (when they can find any still around) as well as other minorities and this will not prejudge prosecution of ISIS terrorists. They will be given a fair trial, and, if convicted, provided with a Koran, prayer mat, soccer ball, and a smart Jewish lawyer to get them out of the slammer.

Regarding genocide, what was Kerry's first clue?

Iran changes chant to: "Stubbed toe to America!"

President Obama and his P5+1 pals believe the nuclear deal with Iran will moderate Iran's aggressive and belligerent behavior. That's in spite of the fact that whenever Iran becomes aggressive, Obama appeases them. 

Consider the missile launches in very close proximity to our Navy vessels in the Persian Gulf. Obama threatened more sanctions, and like his infamous "red line," did nothing to back up his empty words.

When Iran tested ballistic missiles capable of carrying a nuclear payload, Obama did nothing.

When our 10 sailors were captured and held prisoner by Iran's Revolutionary Guard, John-the-Commie-Kerry thanked Iran for treating them so nicely. Iran later claimed the sailors literally cried after capture but the kindness of the Revolutionary Guard was like a soother to an infant.


According to the Obama administration, the nuclear deal is supposed to strengthen the position of the so-called moderate reformist president, Rouhani. But it's the Shi'ite ayatollahs who rule Iran and the presidents bow to them, just like Ahmadinejad did.

Obama is touting this deal as "smart, patient" U.S. diplomacy, saying that it led to the breakthroughs with Iran, including the hostage exchange. Those words: "smart, patient" are words to grow by--because those words are manure.

"This is a good day because now we see what's possible with good American diplomacy," Obama said. "Now our governments are talking to each other."

And the Iranian people are still shouting "Death to America! Death to Israel!"

You can bet Ayatollah Khamenei is not going to give up on his aspirations of the end of times, when the 12th imam  Mahdi arrives on earth. This is what he does for a living--killing infidels is part of the jihad he is sworn to follow.

Chris Christie said on the campaign trail in Iowa, 'This is a loss for America. It's a win for the president's own delusions, if he thinks this is a win for smart diplomacy."

Christie didn't mention what the opinion was of his buddy Mohammed Qatanani on this matter. I leave it up to your imagination.

BREAKING: 45 non-military Killed in Yemen in latest Islamic clash

A religion of peace spokesman

Sanaa, Yemen--Shi'ite rebels and their allies have bombed an area near the city of Aden killing 45 non-military people. The rebels are fighting the Saudi-backed troops and locals and don't care who they kill along the way.

Officials report that hundreds of civilians fled Dar Saad, north of Aden, after rebels began firing artillery rounds into the town, and they believe that 45 civilians were killed. 

Last week, the Saudi-backed fighters pushed the rebels out of Aden's airport and two large neighborhoods as well. This made the rebels feel sad and they vowed to retaliate and take back the areas, Inshallah.

Since March, Aden has been a veritable hell-hole, with intense fighting and incessant prayers on both sides for Allah to let them win.

Unfortunately for both the rebels and the Saudi-backed fighters, Allah decided not to take sides, and Mohammad was unavailable for questioning.

Ramadan Fireworks Celebration

Muslim terrorists have killed at least 37 tourists on a beach in Tunisia, attacked a factory owned by a USA-owned gas factory in France, and left the head of a businessman on the fence outside that facility. The head had Arabic writing on it and my guess is that it has something to do with Islam and the West. 

Terrorists also destroyed a mosque in Kuwait--Ramadan is in full swing.

Fox News said they have no confirmation that these attacks were coordinated by ISIS, but when your head is being cut off by Islamic terrorists, does it really matter all that much? The France beheaders left an ISIS flag next to the severed head so the probability is high that ISIS at the very least inspired it, and ISIS took credit for the Kuwaiti blast as well.

And liberals are worried more about the Confederate flag.

Socialist French President Francois Hollande said, "The attack was of a terrorist nature since a body was discovered, decapitated and with inscriptions." 

No kidding, genius.

These attacks were very likely in response to ISIS spokesman, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani's call for Jihad of the Sword. Fox News said that this "would represent a hideous perversion of Islam's most holy period, which began June 17 and ends July 17."

Fox News sounds as if they are apologizing for the rest of Islam by calling it a hideous perversion of the religion. 

Dear Fox News, I have some news for you. Islam has never been a religion of tolerance and peace. If you don't know that, ask the Jews--not the liberal Jews of the USA, they see themselves as Democrats who happen to be born Jewish--but the European Jews and conservative Jews who know better after centuries of Islam's religious call for anti-Semitic behavior.

Ask the Christians who are aware of the true history of the Crusades--a response to the Islamization of Europe.

Kuwait City Mosque Bombing

Al-Adnani claims that Ramadan is a time of "calamity for the infidels," and he includes Shi'ites and apostate Muslims (Muslims who wised up and left the religion) in a recent audio message. 

"Muslims everywhere, we congratulate you over the arrival of the holy month. Be keen to conquer in this holy month and to become exposed to martyrdom," al-Adnani said, not actually volunteering his own martyrdom for the cause. (Those scumcrumpets never do what they want others to do for them.)

Nearly simultaneous to the French attack, a gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon on a beach in Sousse, Tunisia. He killed 37 and wounded 36, consisting of Tunisians, Germans, Brits and Belgians.

The third attack in a Shia mosque in Kuwait CIty left at least 25 dead and over 200 wounded. A suicide bomber from an ISIS affiliate targeted Shi'ite Muslims because they aren't Sunni Muslims and therefore had to die, according to the Sunni version of the religion of peace. The attack came after midday prayers at the Imam Sadiq Mosque. 

The one area that Both Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims agree in is that Jews must all be killed and eventually Christians, along with atheists, gays, lesbians, transgender, Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Muslim women who go to school or get raped.

In the meanwhile, President Obama did a victory break dance after the Supreme Court determined that same sex marriage should be allowed in all 50 states. He made a short, loin-felt speech and was immediately whisked off to the funeral of Rev. Clementa Pinckney at TD Arena in Charleston, SC. 


One can only hope that he doesn't see fit to play some golf later on.

Muslims Murdering Christians Again

 Muslim migrants murdered 12 Christians at sea during a crossing from Libya. An aid group also reported that they feared another 41 were drowned in a separate incident. Under sharia law, that's not a problem if those murdered by Muslims were not Muslims as well, but this matter is being handled by Italian authorities so the barbarism is seen as illegal.

One wonders, however, how most of the mainstream media is going to handle this story.

Fifteen Muslims were detained by Palermo police, suspected perpetrators in this incident. The authorities learned of what was alleged when survivors from Nigeria and Ghana arrived in Palermo on Wednesday and shared the horrifying details with them after being rescued at sea by the good ship Ellensborg.

The 15 Muslims were accused of multiple homicide that was touched off by religious hatred, the police said in a statement.

Islam happens to be a religion of religious hatred of all people who do not follow Islam, and, in fact, Muslims hate other Muslims who don't practice their brand of Islam the same way they do. ISIS is the best example of this, killing other Muslims because they're Shi'ite rather than Sunni, and other Sunnis because they aren't "orthodox" enough to suit them.

The Christian survivors reported that they'd boarded a rubber boat April 14 on the Libyan coast. There were 105 people aboard, migrants who saw the seas being calm and taking their shot at getting out of Dodge.

So the Muslims from the Ivory Coast, Senegal, Mali, and Guinea Bissau, who were leaving their country to escape war and poverty, threatened the migrants from Nigeria and Ghana because they were Christians.  

Crotches were grabbed, threats were made, and finally the folks from the religion of peace threw the Christians overboard. It is very clear that the reasoning for this cruel act was strictly because of religion, and not because the Christians refused to cater a gay wedding.

The police statement said the motive was that the victims "professed the Christian faith while the aggressors were Muslim."

Those Christians who survived the Muslim attack did so because they were able to form a human chain and avoid being tossed overboard.

To date, over 10 thousand people have been taken from jerry-built boats in the Mediterranean and about 400 have drowned off the coast of Libya. Human traffickers are involved and some have been arrested in Italy around the time of this incident.

It remains to be seen how much attention the mainstream media will give to this story. The big names like Fox, CNN, and CBS have covered it, but nothing on MSNBC was found by me. I may have missed it because I don't like to linger on that website--it is said that doing so can cause brain damage.

Islam: the religion of pieces

I was checking out one of my favorite websites, Jihad Watch, and skimmed through the titles of some of the stories they are covering. The posts about the Islamic State were, as usual, the most barbaric, but there were several others that caught my eye.

Islamic State Beheads 8 Shi'ites, calls them "impure infidels."

You see, if you aren't a Sunni Muslim, and if you are but do not follow Islam the same way the Islamic State dudes do, then you're considered an infidel. The term "infidel" covers every human being on earth who does not practice Islam the same way ISIS practices it.

Islamic State in Nigeria beheads 23 in campaign to scare people from voting.

That seems to work for some people in Nigeria, but not all voters. I have to give those who vote in spite of this threat, a lot of credit and respect.

Islamic State in Illinois planned another Fort Hood.

So here we have two Muslims who once again plan to wreak workplace violence on innocent Americans. Why are we not surprised?

Wives of Islamic State: "When one husband gets martyred, it's like a celebration."

As funny as "Kill the Juice"

One husband? Islam only allows women to have one husband, but one husband can have as many as four wives. It's a man's world, Inshallah.

UK: Father of girl who joined ISIS was at rally boasting of Muslim conquest of USA.

He didn't mean anything by that--maybe like Iran saying "Death to America" every morning, this guy meant it in the nicest possible way.

Philippine President: "Give Muslims self-rule or count body bags."

Yes, be appeasers like Winston Churchill discussed. That is, feed the alligator hoping that it will eat you last. This practice of appeasement is exactly what the Islamists want us to do but in the long run, they're going to do what alligators do.

Finally, this last article made me chuckle, and I don't often do that when discussing Islam and what it has done to the world. UK: New Islam Museum hopes to offset image created by Islamic jihadists.

You can't make this stuff up.

Sunnis Killing Shi'tes Killing Infidels, Killing, Killing

Islamabad (as opposed to Islamagood) Pakistan -- a Shi'ite mosque in southern Pakistan was bombed. The death toll was 56 and 31  were wounded, during Friday prayers. As you may know, all Islamic prayers began with Al Fatiha, a prayer which praises Allah and concludes with: 

"Guide us on the straight path, the path of those who have received your grace; not the path of those who have brought down wrath, nor of those who wander astray."

Al Fatiha, because it starts off each sura, is recited a minimum of 17 times a day. In the prayer, the people who are referred to as "those who have brought down wrath" [from Allah] are the Jews. And "those who wander astray" are the Christians.

Last month, 150 people, mostly children, were killed at a Peshawar school. The school, like the mosque, was Shi'ite, and the terrorists were Sunni, a group called Jundullah claiming responsibility.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif condemned the violence, calling it a suicide bombing, but the cause is still under investigation. It may have been a planted bomb to ensure that no Islamic terrorists were hurt in making this latest attack.

Fahad Mahsud, a Jundallah terrorist group spokes-scum, claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to the Associated Press, but he provided no details as to how the bombing was carried out. His mother must be proud of him, along with the prophet of Islam, Mohammed, for working for such a prestigious terrorist organization.

You see, insofar as Sunnis are concerned, Shi'ites are infidels. Insofar as Shi'ites are concerned, Sunnis are infidels. The rest of the world, to both Sunni and Shi'ites, are infidels. Every Muslim of either belief is supposed to kill everyone else. Pretty screwed up, isn't it?

Shi'ites make up about 15% of Pakistan's population, but the Sunnis don't consider them true Muslims. The division dates back to the death of Mohammed and the question as to who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation. The Sunnis believed the leadership should go to Mo's comrades in war, and the new dude in charge should be elected among the best warrior-terrorists. Abu Bakr became the first Caliph. (This name should sound familiar--Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi head of ISIS took the name.) 

But there was another group of Muslims who believed the leader should come from Mo's own family, among those specifically appointed by him, or among imams appointed by God herself. (Just kidding--Muslims would never think that God could be a female--they see women as inferior, generally more evil than men, and stupid as goats, which sometimes became a dilemma of choice.)

So the Shia Muslims think that once Mohammed died, the leadership should have been given to his cousin/son-in-law, Ali bin Abu Talib. Thus, all through Islamic history, Shi'ites have not recognized elected Muslim leaders but chose to follow the lineage of imams they thought Mo, or God (same-old, same-old) had appointed. In fact, the word "Shia" in Arabic means a group or supportive party of people, and the term has been shortened from "Shia-t-Ali" or "the Party of Ali."

All-in-all, it's hard to imagine any group, other than their own, that Sunnis or Shi'ites like. If you're not one of them, then you're viewed as an infidel, deserving of the fires of hell, and the more orthodox of both groups would be happy to send you on your way to Jahannam ASAP.

So it's no surprise that Sunni Muslims bombed a Shi'ite mosque, or that both Islamic groups hate Jews and Christians as much as they hate each other. Well, they both really, really hate Jews. They hate Christians slightly less, and are patiently willing to kill them last.

It's quite sad that innocent people have been killed in the name of religion. But make no mistake, this is the reason terrorism exists. 

"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil--that takes religion." --Steven Weinberg

I agree with Weinberg in general, but disagree with the notion that all religions can make us do evil. Today, this premise fits best with the one religion that's doing most of the killing of those who do not follow it: Islam. 

I don't see any Amish, Jains, Hindus, Jews or Methodists blowing up schools, killing innocent people, or praying for the demise of those from religions that differ from theirs. Yes, some scripture may sound barbaric, but the only scripture that's being followed in such an orthodox manner is "the religion of peace." What a horrible joke.

Islam is far from being a religion of peace. Read the Koran, you'll see.

Pakistan Taliban Love-Hate Relationship

Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) aka Pakistani Taliban, was founded in 2007 and is composed of staunch followers of the Qur'an and the teachings of Islam, a religion founded on war. 

The Pakistani Taliban has killed thousands of Pakistanis, was responsible for trying to kill Malala Yousafzau, the Nobel Peace Prize winner (who followed in the footsteps of Yassar Arafat by donating $50 thousand of her winnings to the Palestine cause) and for the latest attack in Peshawar where 141 people were brutally murdered, most of them children.

Religious writing on the wall

TTP says the attack was revenge for the military's offensive against them in the Pakistani tribal areas along the Afghan border. No school children were involved in those offensives.

Pakistan sees the TTP as the "bad" Taliban as opposed to the Taliban approved of by the Pakistani government, or the "good" Taliban. Of course, when you examine both groups, the main difference is where they shop for their camel meat and goat's milk. Both Taliban groups serve up the same extremist ideology and follow the jihadist philosophy of the Qur'an (aka Koran) and seek to rid the world of everyone who believes differently from them, including Shi'ite Muslims who believe in following a different warrior prophet than Mohammed and the crew.

But it was the TTP that was targeted by the Pakistani military and for that, children were killed because that's the way these barbarians do things.

The "good" Taliban are seen by the idiots in Pakistan as that Taliba who doesn't attack Pakistan but goes after "enemy" states like India or Afghanistan when it goes against Pakistan. So it's a hate-love situation for Pakistan and the hate was seen yesterday from the slaughter.

We saw how Pakistan has provided safe haven for the Afghan Taliban and for Osama bin Laden. The dirtbag was a block away from a major military area, protected by Pakistan, when he was killed by Barack Obama in camo.

How are we to feel about this latest attack? To say they had it coming to them is unfair to the children and teachers killed at the school. But to say they should have seen it coming, isn't far off the mark at all.

When you sleep with wolves, they might just take your head off. Don't blame the West for the carnage.
