Syria: Misunderstanders of Islam murder 10 with car bomb in Christian quarter

Probably the culprits are the Obama-backed democracy-loving Syrian rebels. "Syria: car bomb kills 10 in Christian quarter of Damascus," by Ruth Sherlock in the Telegraph, October 22 (thanks to all who sent this in):

A car bomb exploded outside a police station in the Old City of Damascus on Sunday, drawing the city’s historical Christian quarter into the civil war.

Up to 10 people were killed and 15 wounded as the charge detonated at the historical gate of Bab Touma, a busy pick up point for taxis and buses.

“The bomb exploded as people were moving to go to Churches for Sunday mass. It exploded just outside the police station. There was a bus stop right beside it,” said a resident calling himself George who works in a hotel just a few streets away from the explosion. “I felt the explosion. The ground beneath me shook and I can see black smoke rising from the area.

“Terrorists are doing this,” said George, a Christian who, like many residents in Bab Touma lives in fear of the rebel fighters trying to gain control of the capital.

Encircled by thick rock historic city walls, the narrow alleyways and wooden roofed Damascene homes of the Old City had thus far remained largely insulated from the fighting that has reached the capital in recent months.

Hotels in the Old City are filled with Syrian citizens who fled their homes and had come to the area to seek shelter, said George.

The bomb detonated as UN peace envoy Lakhdar Brahimi met with President Bashar al-Assad in Damascus.....

Sad, the Jews and Christians flee islamic countries, and go to other countries because they are being slaughtered by the followers of satan, namely muslims.

muslims flee the same countries for the same reasons, and go to non - islamic countries so they can colonize the judeo - christian nations with their obscene birthrates/polygamy and asshole islam ideology.

Sorry totally OT ...

I just came across this video regarding obama that some of you may find interesting:

BREAKING! D. TRUMP Tells Fox News He Has DEVASTATING Info On BHO To Be Announced THIS WEEK!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ulsscfy_dis&feature=player_embedded

~~~~~~

Okay, I'll be all ears this Wednesday! ...wonder what it could be?

You could be right, or you could be wrong, but it all depends on *what* this information IS--which would make the messesger, Donald Trump, a non issue. And in the video Donald mentions something about the media covering this in a big way, so once this information is released, then Donald will no longer be front and center.

Hey we'll all find out soon enough whether or not this info is a game changer for obama, or not. Time will tell. Tick, Tock!

I'm hoping that you'll change your mind and vote for Romney ...hey it can happen :)

The sadist Allah (e.g. Q.10:4, 6:70) hates Christians & unbelievers in general

10:4 "...But those who disbelieved will have a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment for what they used to deny."

6:70 "For them will be a drink of scalding water and a painful punishment because they used to disbelieve.

(certainly for beginners) The Quran is “easy to understand” 44:58, 54:22, 54:32, 54:40 "no doubt" 2:2 in it 32:2, 3 “(This is) the revelation of the Book (i.e. Quran) in which there is no doubt, from the Lord of the Worlds.”

Pedo(65:4) Allah Q.8:12 “…I will INSTIL TERROR into the hearts of the Unbelievers…”

Christians are between a rock and a hard place in Syria...A lot of them left Iraq because of abuses, and went to Syria, because Syria under the Alawites are a little more tolerant of Christians...But that was yesterday...Today, they are under attack and running again...Most of them have no where to run to...Syria is in the same boat...it can't do with or without Assad...If he stays, brutality stays with him...If Allah wins, brutality comes with it...It looks like both Mitt and O are backing Allah...Mitt probably does not realize he is backing Allah, Rasululla Obama I'm not so sure...he is wearing that gold ring that has Allah inscribed...If you wear shahada on your marriage finger, does that mean you are married to Allah? Mitt should have asked him, 'Do you believe Allah is God and Mohammad his messenger'? Let the talking mouth talk it's way out of that...

Notice that both Obama and Romney agreed on the necessity of regime change in Syria, and on the necessity for US involvement. They both had confidence in the ability of the US to pick the "bad" rebels from the "good".

Romney did criticize Obama's trip to the Middle East where he apologized for past US actions. Romney also mentioned Islamist fanaticism and jihadists once, but didn't go into detail.

Obama accurately criticized the catastrophic decision of George Bush to involve the US in two wars, with no clear end plan for either. Neither candidate mentioned that Iraq is now effectively a client state of Iran. Romney sniped at Obama for now getting an agreement on remaining forces in Iraq, but didn't go into detail on the reason for no agreement: that the "government" of Iraq insisted that any US forces in the country be subject to Iraqi law.

I found myself wishing that one or both candidates had actually read a book or two on the subject of foreign policy, rather than simply briefing papers.

I remain worried about Romney's refusal to firmly commit himself to the 2014 Afghanistan withdrawal date. If the Taliban cooperate by simply building up their network and allowing the US a face-saving withdrawal, all will be well. The Taliban may, however, decide to ramp up their violence, drawing a Romney Presidency into a further open-ended commitment to an expensive and fruitless occupation of Afghanistan.

So, I'm left with the hope that Romney is simply maintaining his position for the sake of keeping his core constituency mobilized, and that he has no intention of extending the occupation.

Since this was supposed to be a debate to influence the electorate, what we heard was designed for public consumption...Mitt only has an opinion, but no power, but that can change...We have had 4 years of watching Rasool's opinions in action, and those actions are different than the ones claimed in the debate...and the results are different than the ones promised...Failure with a pretty ribbon around it is still failure...

"what we heard was designed for public consumption...Mitt only has an opinion, but no power"

My point is, if Romney is unwilling to express an opinion or expression of his intention, we are left with simply making unfounded assumptions. The George Bush presidency was an unqualified catastrophe for the US: involving us in two unending wars designed to civilize Muslim countries and unending assurances that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.

Romney was unwilling to offer any specific criticism of the Bush actions, especially Bush's assertion the Islam is a "religion of peace."

So, on what grounds do you assume that Romney will have a different agenda concerning Islam than Obama? Will Romney have a different policy concerning Muslim immigration? If another war in Serbia or Bosnia heats up, and the Muslims are getting the worst of it, will Romney send troops to intervene on the side of the Muslims, like Clinton did? Will Romney denounce the continued attempts by the OIC to criminalize the criticism of Islam?

The fact is, we have absolutely no idea. It's not a matter of believing Romney or not. He has made no statement.

So, any belief on your part concerning Romney's intentions are the purest of speculation. You are projecting your own wishes on reality.

I would really prefer it to be otherwise, but that is the reality I see.

I which all Christians in Islamic countries leave and other countries will take them in …. it is a strain on these countries … But Something has to be done about, the on going killing of Christians …

This way Muslims could go back and only consternate on killing each other … like they love to do .

Were is the mercy they sing and dance about …


They will wake up one day and see what they have been doing to their lives and they will KNOW the real reason for their destruction .

Romney was unwilling to offer any specific criticism of the Bush actions, especially Bush's assertion the Islam is a "religion of peace."

Was he asked? I must have missed that part...

'Mitt only has an opinion, but no power, but that can change'.

So, any belief on your part concerning Romney's intentions are the purest of speculation. You are projecting your own wishes on reality.

What projections were those? And what reality are you talking about? OBama is a failure, now 'there's reality...

Syria: Misunderstanders of Islam murder 10 with car bomb in Christian quarter

Probably the culprits are the Obama-backed democracy-loving Syrian rebels.
..............................

But really, the "freedom fighters" there just want to depose the tyrannical Bashar al-Assad—y'know, the same way those who just wanted to depose the tyrannical Muamar Gadaffi just recently murdered four of our diplomats....

Uh...

But the Syrian rebels still need our help! sarc/off

The sick thing is, I wouldn't be surprised if they got it, genocidal attacks on Christians notwithstanding...

More:

A car bomb exploded outside a police station in the Old City of Damascus on Sunday, drawing the city’s historical Christian quarter into the civil war.
..............................

Probably only as victims—as is so common in Dar-al-Islam. But note the Telegraph's implication that the Christians are—or will be, any minute now—equal participants. More witless moral equivalence.

MOre:

“The bomb exploded as people were moving to go to Churches for Sunday mass. It exploded just outside the police station. There was a bus stop right beside it”...
..............................

This attack was right before Sunday mass—this wasn't just timed for large crowds. This was *specifically* targeting not just Christians, but Christians *on their way to worship*.

More:

“Terrorists are doing this,” said George, a Christian who, like many residents in Bab Touma lives in fear of the rebel fighters trying to gain control of the capital.
..............................

And that's because, as oppressed and insecure as Christians have been under Assad, they know they face far worse from the pious "Islamist" rebels.

"The best thing D.Trump can do is too do like G W Bush is doing and thats keep his big aligator mouth shut and let events play out on thier own! "

Not necessarily; it depends on exactly what Trump has up his sleeve. If it's some fact or series of facts that are independently devastating to Obama's reputation and which can be independently verified as true, then it shouldn't matter what Trump's image or personality are like. Facts are facts.

Champ, let's just hope Trump doesn't have an "accident" and fall down an elevator shaft today, or have a conveniently fatal heart attack, a la Breitbart -- who himself said he had extremely damning evidence about Obama days before he collapsed of a heart attack:

...while speaking at CPAC, conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart bragged to his audience about having incriminating videos of Barack Obama that would sink the president’s reelection campaign. Later he told Lawrence Sinclair of Sinclair News “Wait til they see what happens March 1st.”

On March 1st, shortly after midnight, Andrew Breitbart was dead at the age of 43.

http://www.infowars.com/breitbart%E2%80%99s-death-needs-to-be-investigated-for-the-sake-and-safety-of-all-journalists/

That's why it's good for Trump to do this -- he is so famous and high-profile (even if he does have some clownish aspects to his fame) that it would probably be too risky to "take care of him" -- not to mention that Trump, unlike Breitbart, could (and let's hope does) spend 100 million on bodyguards and hardly put a dent in his fortune.

donald trump is a self servicing narcissistic who should stay the hell out of this. he needs to get his house in order first. two of his casinos the last few years filed bankruptcy.
m

LemonLime, that's right! Andrew Breitbart also had *something* on obama, and then suddenly he died right before revealing it? Very strange indeed. Yeah I've been trying to figure out what this information could be, but of course I have no idea; and you and others would probably laugh at some of the things I've come up with. Many of us have probably done the same. Oh, well, I guess we will find out tomorrow. Gosh the curiosity is killing me!

Donald may all those things, and more, but his personal problems are completely irrelevant to any truth about obama. Assuming, of course, that what Donald has to reveal about obama is in fact true.

The American people deserve to know everything about our president, or anyone else running for president. Hey if Donald had something on Romney then I would be asking for the same thing. Presidents are not allowed to have *secrets*. They give that up when they become president or when they are running for president. Loss of privacy comes with the territory.

I meant to write:

Donald may BE all those things, and more ...

you are correct my friend that we should know every thing about our president. But I dealt with this a.... he has nothing of substance to him.
m

I just talked to my son. there are rumors out there that he may be announcing his support for Obama.
m

You wrote:

"...he may be announcing his support for Obama."

Yes, I read that ridiculous rumor online, as well, but it's highly unlikely. Donald is a conservative through and through, and back in February he already publically endorsed Romney.

You may read about Donald's endorsement here:
http://articles.cnn.com/2012-02-02/politics/politics_campaign-wrap_1_donald-trump-mitt-romney-trump-endorsement?_s=PM:POLITICS


...perhaps Donald endorsed Romney before February, but that's the information I found.

Hi Champ, according to Jerome Corsi who writes for World Net Daily (WND) --

"...at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C., just three weeks before Breitbart’s death – where he promised to unveil “damning” new video evidence of Barack Obama’s radical past that would change the election – Breitbart gave WND details of his upcoming revelations.

"He claimed to WND that he had a video showing radical Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers and Barack Obama at Harvard planning revolution in the United States."

http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/now-a-witness-to-breitbarts-death-disappears/

Hi LemonLime, hey that could be very damning evidence. I wonder if this is what Donald has in store ..?? Is that what you're thinking? Donald makes it sound so BIG that anything is possible. And this video certainly would be big.

And the headline you provided mentioned that the eye witness to Breitbart's death is now dead, as well? ..what!

Something fishy is definitely going down ...

Champ, no I think the eyewitness has simply disappeared, and private detectives have not been able to locate him and he doesn't answer his phone, etc. However, a person who worked for the coroner's office that supposedly proved that Breitbart died of natural causes (heart attack) has apparently died of arsenic poisoning.
