Whoops -- actually it wasn't Islamophobes. The culprits were, of course, Sunni jihadists. The Sunni/Shi'ite Jihad continues. "Bomb in Baghdad strikes Shiite pilgrims, kills 6," by Sinan Salaheddin for [1] Associated Press, August 16 (thanks to Jeffrey Imm):

BAGHDAD – Iraqi police and hospital officials say a car bombing targeting Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad has killed six people and wounded 11 others.

The officials say the parked car exploded at about 9 a.m. Saturday near minibuses assembled to pick up pilgrims in the city's mainly Shiite district of Shaab....

Several bombings in recent days have targeted Shiites heading to Karbala for a major religious festival. U.S. and Iraqi troops have stepped up security measures for the pilgrimage but the hundreds of thousands of travelers remain vulnerable on the road.
