Bomb at Iraq café operating during Ramadan fasting hours kills 5

No compulsion in religion. "Iraq: Bicycle bomb strikes, 5 dead," by Sinan Salaheddin for the Associated Press:

BAGHDAD - A booby-trapped bicycle exploded near a cafe serving tea and food during Ramadan fasting hours Sunday, killing at least five people in a religiously mixed area in northern Iraq, police said.
[...]
In all, at least 39 people were killed or found dead nationwide. The bloodshed came the day after al-Qaida in Iraq announced a new offensive in the Islamic holy month and was a blow to government hopes that a peaceful Ramadan would demonstrate the success of the seven-month operation in the capital.
[...]
In the late-morning blast in Tuz Khormato, 130 miles north of Baghdad, witnesses said a boy left the bicycle bomb near the cafe, which was located in a popular market and was one of the few open during daylight hours despite Ramadan. Tradition requires faithful to abstain from eating and drinking from sunrise to sunset during the monthlong observance.
Two of the slain victims were in the cafe, while three were in the market, police chief Capt. Abbas Mohammed said. He also said 19 people were wounded.

Verily, Allâh has purchased of the believers their lives and their properties; for the price that theirs shall be the Paradise. They fight in Allâh's Cause, so they kill (others) and are killed. It is a promise in truth which is binding on Him in the Taurât (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel) and the Qur'ân. And who is truer to his covenant than Allâh? Then rejoice in the bargain which you have concluded. That is the supreme success[].

The believers whose lives Allâh has purchased are) those who repent to Allâh (from polytheism and hypocrisy, etc.), who worship Him, who praise Him, who fast (or go out in Allâh's Cause), who bow down (in prayer), who prostrate themselves (in prayer), who enjoin (people) for Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all what Islâm has ordained) and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. disbelief, polytheism of all kinds and all that Islâm has forbidden), and who observe the limits set by Allâh (do all that Allâh has ordained and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which Allâh has forbidden). And give glad tidings to the believers.[]

I wonder if those getting Coffee and Latte' in Starbucks realise the rammifications of such actions?

Should we count this as Terrorist action 9001 or have others occured as counted yet un-reported?

In any other system of belief that one could care to mention, an auspicious day or days are celebrated by giving of alms, asking and granting forgiveness for any trespass caused and generally being a good egg.

But not in islam, for under its intoxication, the holy days are celebrated by killings and beheadings.

Truly, a great religion of God.

Duriing Ramadan you, as a martyr for Jihad, get to the Islamic Paradise more easily. Normally, as a martyr during the rest of the year, the staircase would suddenly appear, and that music -- "Let's Climb That Staircase To the Stars" -- start up, and you begin your ascent. But if you kill the enemy during Ramadan, that staircase turns into a heavenly elevator, and the ascent is smooth as you glide up with a satisfying whoosh. Outside of Ramadan, you have to take the stairs.

(...) a boy left the bicycle bomb near the cafe (...)

Ah, the brave mujahedin are still using children in their jihad. Allah must be so pleased with them!

Hey, Fibrahim Farfur, where are the Muslim condemnations of the use of children in jihad?

Wow, nothing like starting their ramalamadingdong off with a bang.

Were Christians eating in the cafe? They wouldn't be following the fasting rules.

Nobody thought to detain the boy? Those Iraqis sure are eager to stop terrorists, aren't they?

Are they running out of cars..? Easy enough to creep into Europa and steal some..

Sick bastards..

If we let any more of them in over here we'll be blessed with similar events locally.

Any shareholders at Mickey D's, KFC, Wendy's, Boston Market et al better start to take notice and contact your local yokel..

Sounds like a great idea for one of those cards found in board games..

Jihadopoly anyone?

Or perhaps "Chutes and Ladders."

'Unbelief is worse than slaughter'- the fact that they have been indulging in eating and drinking is unbelief, and slaughter is just a reminder that the law of Allah must be respected.

The future of EUrabia..?

This is pretty pathetic , Ramadan is only the 1/12th of the year that Muslims are expected to try and be nice to non-Muslims since they have a full 11 months to behead and slaughter civilians.

Are Muslims that pre-disposed to violence that Allah can't even control them for a lousey 30 days
here on Earth , or does Allah tease them with the eternity of sex within Humammeds harems in Paradise .

Hey Ahmed.....do us all a favous and buy a shoe-box and some fresh cows liver from the butcher shop , heat up the liver and make a hole in the end of the box , natual will help you figure out the rest.

I'm old enough to remember when some state and local governments had "blue laws" where certain things could not open. Movie theaters and most retail outlets were closed on Sunday. There was a lot of debate and gnashing of teeth as these laws were struck down over the years during the early 50s.

The point is; not one theater, bowling alley, or dime store was bombed during that time. My mother was criticized by our holy roller neighbors for letting us go to movies on Sunday, but we weren't ever shot at.

Later, in the 1960s in the next county, legal liquor was passed, nobody died from bombs or bullets. Separation of church and state is a christian doctrine (render unto Caesar); it took a long time for that to really become a reality. Christians may be able to accept secular government, but Muslims never, never will.

I find it increasingly interesting that believers in Allah feel that Allah is so weak and pathetic that THEY must step in as surrogates to enforce Allah's laws. Any deity worth its salt should be able to do what is adequate and necessary for itself, wouldn't you think?

If someone eats when they should not eat according to Allah's law, can't Allah do anyting about it? Surely they will be adequately punished for an eternity in the afterlife. What is the point of trying to rush the judgement ahead of time? 20 or even 100 more years is a small time as compared to only 1000 years let alone an eternity, thousands of thousands of years thousands of times over. (Um, (10^6)^1000 is even a short time compared to eternity. But maybe by then all the protons will have decayed....)

off topic...but I like it....

"Army records first UAV kills

By Kris Osborn - Staff writer
Posted : Monday Sep 17, 2007 5:20:39 EDT

When Army scouts in Iraq spotted two men planting a roadside bomb Sept. 1, they called in a nearby Hunter unmanned aircraft, which dropped a laser-guided bomb and killed the two men.

“We had the first confirmed use of an Army weaponized UAV,” said Col. Don Hazelwood, project manager for Army Unmanned Aircraft Systems at Redstone Arsenal, Ala.

The Army is mounting precision-guided weapons on hundreds of unmanned aerial vehicles in Iraq and Afghanistan, Hazelwood said.

The MQ-5B Hunter will carry the laser-guided GBU-44/B Viper Strike, a 42-pound glide bomb with a one-yard wingspan that can strike within one meter of its aim point."


....good...lets make it very unsafe for Muslims to go around planting bombs.....

....for the homeland...Ban Muslim Immigration....

Dear Muslims, if you are hungry, do eat, and eat your fill.

But don't bomb those who are indulgent.
