A update on this story from the Washington Post, "Pakistanis Find Bloodied Head of Suicide Bomber," with thanks to Jeffrey Imm.
ISLAMABAD, Investigators have found the head of a suicide bomber who attacked a Muslim festival in the Pakistani capital, killing at least 19 people, and are trying to establish his identity, officials said on Saturday.The attack occurred on Friday at Islamabad's Bari Imam shrine, less than half a mile from Pakistan's main government buildings and diplomatic enclave...
The bomber blew himself up in a gathering of minority Shiite Muslims at a festival also attended by majority Sunnis.
Nineteen people were killed and 65 wounded, six critically. Officials said most of the victims were Shiites.
Authorities have circulated a picture of the suspected bomber, shown with a bloodstained, clean-shaven face and announced an $8,300 reward for information...
Found his head?
Let's roll!!!!!
Heads or tails?
HEADS!
I like that headline, somehow...
Icabod Mohammad?
(This is going to make it a bit tough to enjoy those 72 virgins. But then they use this head so little, maybe the heavenly houris won't notice.)
I guess the Big Hit Shows next year on T.V., will be:
C.S.I.-Islamabad.
C.S.I.-Baghdad
And
C.S.I. Kabul

I've always wondered about this:

LOL! Gruesome, dark humor, but I couldn't help but get a chuckle out of everyone's comments.
Seriously though, here's another example of the Islamic definition of peace. The twits go around professing peace, peace, peace, Islam is peace, tolerance, blah, blah, blah. Yet you look at this incident and many similar ones around the world - Sunni vs Shiites, Shiites vs Sunni, Muslim vs Muslim. They can't even agree amongst each other, except when it comes to infidels. Then they're great partners, always in agreement. But when there are no infidels to persecute and murder, they're at each other's throats.
Pathetic.
Another reason why the USA should have made it a point to let the Islamic world stew in its own juices.
If Sunnii extremists ever take over Pakistan, I truly believe that they will persecute the Shi'ites. Maybe genocide will be the result. When the Taliban in neighboring captured Shi'it cities in 1998 and 1999, they massacred thousands of Shi'ites. Those massacres were clearly a warning to Shi'ites of what would happen if Sunni extremists ever take over a Muslim country.
