Maybe Obama and Clinton do issue condemnations of all jihad terror attacks, but this is the first one I've seen -- a condemnation of an attack on a mosque in Iran for which the mullahs blame America. "Iran blames US for mosque attack," by Jim Lobe in Asia Times, July 20 (thanks to Twostellas):
WASHINGTON - Both United States President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have denounced last week's suicide bomb attacks on a Shi'ite mosque in Sistan and Balochistan province in southeastern Iran by a Sunni extremist group that Tehran charges is being supported by Washington."I strongly condemn the outrageous terrorist attacks on a mosque in southeast Iran," Obama said in a statement released by the White House. "The murder of innocent civilians in their place of worship is an intolerable offence, and those who carried it out must be held accountable."
In a separate statement, Clinton condemned the attacks "in the strongest possible terms" and suggested that Jundallah, the group that claimed responsibility, may be added to the State Department's terrorism list. "This attack, along with the recent attacks in Uganda, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Algeria, underscores the global community's need to work together to combat terrorist organizations that threaten the lives of innocent civilians around the world," according to the statement, which cited Jundallah by name.
The double bombings - the latest in a series of bloody attacks claimed by Jundallah over the past several years - reportedly killed at least 30 people at a mosque in the city of Zahedan, including several officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), a favorite target of the group.
Nearly 300 others were injured by the blasts, which took place during evening prayers marking the birthday of the Prophet Mohammad's grandson, Imam Hussein. The first bombing, which took place at the mosque's entrance, was followed 15 minutes later by the second, as people gathered to help the wounded.
In taking credit for the bombings, Jundallah, which also calls itself the Iranian People's Resistance Movement, said they were carried out in retaliation for last month's execution of the group's leader, Abdulmalik Rigi. His brother, Abdulhamid Rigi, was hung in May after he was captured in Pakistan in 2008 and subsequently returned to Iran.
"This operation is a response to incessant crimes of the regime in Balochistan," the group said on its website. "The two young martyrs sacrificed their lives and shattered the dreams of executioners and devils."....
A billion people in the world crushed beneath the heretical lie of Islam: killing and being killed for Allah.
Yet they say nothing about
While the good folks of EDL where being battered, moslems else where doing what moslems are best at doing
JOS, Nigeria (Reuters) - Raiders armed with machetes killed the family of a Nigerian Christian priest and set fire to his church in central Plateau state Saturday, close to where hundreds have died in religious violence this year.
Residents said unknown assailants attacked the family of Rev. Nuhu Dawat in the early hours in the farming village of Mazah, around 12 km (7 miles) from the state capital of Jos, killing his wife, two children and grandson.
Dawat himself ran and hid when the attack occurred and was the sole survivor in his household. "I leave everything to God to judge," a sobbing Dawat told Reuters.
At least four other people were also killed in the attack, a military spokesman said. A Reuters witness said many of the bodies were slashed with what appeared to be machete blows and one was burned beyond recognition....
" The Great Satan ", at work again.
It does surprise me that no mention is made of " The little Satan ". The mullahs must be getting senile.
Of course its the United States fault. It is never the blood thirsty religion they follow.

Me too. The idea that we now have to "condemn" Jihad terror attacks—to show that *we* weren't behind them—is ludicrous. We don't target civilians—Jihadists do.
Sunni/Shi'ite violence has been going on for almost 1400 years. Muslims claiming that the "Great Satan" and "Zionists" were 'really' behind the attacks is nothing new, either.
The idea that these attacks are actions of the United States is grotesque—*especially* since virtually identical attacks by Sunnis against Shi'ites are going on in neighboring Pakistan—a country that is—nominally, at least—an ally of the US.

WTF? Another $7.5bn Jiziya for Pakistan?
The Mullahs probably think that Hussein Obama is a Sunni Muslim and assisting his brothers in faith in the fight against the Shi'ite regime.
How could they ever have got such an absurd idea? Maybe they read the Comment Section of Jihad Watch? ;-)
Iran blames US? What about the Jews??? Don't they get any respect anymore??
As the saying goes, live by the suicide bomb vest, die by the suicide bomb vest.
Just what I was thinking, I.F. Maybe the ayatollahs believe the stories that BHO is really a Moslem, and if so he'd naturally be a Sunni, having been raised and schooled in Sunni Indonesia.
well
I presume the nobel peace prize winner has also condemned the bombing of churches and synagogues?
maybe he also condemned the attacks on schools, especially girls' schools?
does anyone know if he has?
The Russians (Pravda) printed an article identifying Rasool Obama as a Sunni, and gave reasonable sounding reasons for why they think that...The article expressed a concern that this could cause additional difficulties with Shia Iran...
Iran blames US for mosque attack,"
The blond lady in the green polyester suit strikes again...
Chorus of cowards: "We strongly condemn ... , we are horrified ... , horrific ... , must be held accountable ... , heartfelt sympathy with the Iranian victims ... , ... lost their loved ones ... ". Obama, Clinton, Ban Ki-moon, the British foreign minister ... . Disgraceful people devoid of any dignity. Cowardly sociopaths. Noxious.
It was Iran who turned suicide bombings into global epidemic in 1980's by blowing up embassy after US embassy, and killing 241 American marines in a single suicide bombing, turning the USA into a humiliating flight from Beirut.
But now that the chickens come home to Iran to roost, our cowardly Western governments, driven by the pathological servitude to the Iranian jihadi thugs, jump to do the White Western Slave part, fawning all over the Mullahs and conemning the Baluchis for giving the Iranian Khomeini Revolutionaries the taste of their own medicine.
Yet another efficient Baluchi Resistance attack on the Iranian jihadis. Once again, the balk of those killed a high-runking, hard-core Iranian Revolutionary Guards, the worst Islamic terrorists in the entire world. And our cowardly Western governments are calling their Baluchi slayers Terrorists?!
Each and every Resistance group, Persian, Baluchi and even Kurdish who rises against Iran, the serial mass-murderer of Americans, is immediatelly branded "terrorist" by owr abominable, cowardly US government, Republican or Democrat. What a disaster. And what is owr government getting for this servitude from Iran instead of 30 pieces of silver? Iran blames the US & UK for the bombing & threatens consequences! How do we keep ending up with such people at the top?!
We desperatelly need a new Center Party with American heroes Rudy Giuliani and Paul Sperry in charge.

On the lighter side, LATMA TV, an Israeli comedic group, brings us this clip of an interview with the "Egyptian Minister of Conspiracies."
It would be even more amusing were it not based on a true trend in the Arab and Islamic worlds.
Enjoy.

Ruslan, thanks for a good post.
if the Ahmadinejad family planned a picnic in the country and it rained, they'd blame the US and Israel.
Mike
I watched that.
Latma is **brilliant**.
"Halil Majnoun" means something like "honorable, crazy friend" in Arabic. Brilliant. LOL
All LATMA's stuff is hysterically funny.
In reply to one of my posts, duh swami said: "The blond lady in the green polyester suit strikes again..."
I'm not sure I get the connection here. Unless it's a reference to Hillary -- I never watch TV, so I don't know what kind, or color, of outfits she wears. Please explain.
So, so, sick and evil.
Under Sharia law, a Muslim is never executed for killing a non-Muslims, and is exhorted to make them feel subjugated (by rape, torture, plunder, etc.), but it is open season on a non-Muslim who attacks a Muslim. This is why we see such rage at a Muslim or a Mosque being attacked, even though hundreds of Christians, Hindus, churches, etc., are attacked around the globe. The "Muslim world" does not see a problem as long as it is not a Muslim or a Mosque being attacked.
