Sunni-Shi'ite Jihad Update from AP, with thanks to Mackie:
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- A suicide car bomber attacked Iranian pilgrims Thursday as they got off tour buses at a Shiite Muslim shrine south of Baghdad, killing 12 people and wounding 39. The bomber struck about 7:15 a.m. in Kufa, a Shiite holy city 100 miles south of Baghdad, detonating a minivan loaded with explosives behind two buses unloading pilgrims, police said.Eight of the dead and 22 of the injured were Iranians, said Dr. Munthir al-Athari of the provincial health department. Three of the dead Iranians were women, he said.
At least 16 other people were killed Thursday across Iraq, including 11 men whose bullet-riddled bodies were found in several locations across Baghdad, police said. Several showed signs of torture.
No group claimed responsibility for the Kufa blast, but suspicion fell on Sunni religious extremists and supporters of Saddam Hussein. Many Sunnis fear the rise of Iraq's Shiite majority will lead to greater influence by Shiite-dominated Iran, with which Iraq fought a bloody war in 1980-88.

As long as Islam exists, homocidal maniacs can find succor, praise and Paradise. And I'm supposed to think that Islam isn't evil?

Not exactly Civil war material yet, but all the elements needed are there.

I used to think that Iraq could be built into a peaceful and prosperous society, using means like the Marshal plan of post WW2. I was firmly in the Bush camp. Unfortunately reality has brought my ignorance to light. It is clear now that this is impossible we should leave Iraq. It wouldn’t be so much as a cutting and running as a washing of the hands. We should declare good riddance and let them at each other. It is the most painful design, as you do not want to cheapen the lives of those of our greatest and bravest that sacrifice everything, but when do we stop the blood letting of our troops by an ungrateful host whom is more bent on destroying each other than life and rebuilding. If Muslims like to live like this then who are we to stop them? They declare us as enemy anyways, so why should we spend life and limb? Let them grind each other to dust I say.
Get used to this people of the west, as Europe becomes Islamisized this will be your street, your church, your Beslan. Enjoy.

This is how they treat all captives, even those who read the same Koran and recite the same lessons as provided by mighty Mo that they quote so often.
Religion does not play a part here, just evil.

Hmmmmm...... Are they killing each other faster than they are breeding?

As much as they torture and kill each other (Mohammed's instructions re killing fellow Moslems pre-date the Shia-Sunni split), we non-Mohammedans are still the main enemy of these raving jihd warriors.
Iran-backed Hezbollah has no problem when it comes to joining Sunni jihadists in murdering Jews. Also, Iran is suspect of sheltering al qaeda Moslems.

This cult has a need to produce so many children, as they need to keep up with the killing of their own. They are their own worst enemy. as much as Iranian muslims have in common with muslims in Iraq, they are still regarded as foreigners.

islam, the worlds fastest dying religion. And to think they only have themselves to thank for it.

Looks like some Iraqi's hate Iranians more than infidels and Joooozzz...
Anyhow, terror-acts like these don't affect demographics.
And yes: They will always blame Jooozzz for their very own crimes...

Imagine reading an article that changed a few details of the above article so that it refered to Catholics. It would seem bizarre. But what is bizarre for almost all major religions is normal in Submission (aka Islam).
Lourdes, France (AP) -- A suicide car bomber attacked Italian pilgrims Thursday as they got off tour buses at Our Lady of Lourdes south of Lourdes, killing 12 people and wounding 39. The bomber struck about 7:15 a.m. detonating a minivan loaded with explosives behind two buses unloading pilgrims, police said.
Eight of the dead and 22 of the injured were Italians, said Dr. Munthir al-Athari of the provincial health department. Three of the dead Italians were women, he said.

iraq is a lost cuase, until the sunni and shia civil war is waged.
Cut our losses and payouts and move to the coast and protect the port and let the sunni and shia have at it.

Here's an interesting 9 minute video about those peacful Muslims in England , the female speaker calls on Muslims to stop shopping at Jewish businesses and stop buying Coke-a-Cola which buy bullets for the Jews to murder Palestinian children.
The last part of her tirade is to make a threat to the British people that Muslims have marched in protests but next time "We'll Riot" .
Keep in mind how the Western Media believes Islamophobia has no root-cause and Muslims just want to live in peace just like you and I.

I believe this is an open statement, honest and forthright. I believe they are openly stating their intentions to kill more "infidels".
As each day goes by the Peaceful Religion begins to make bolder attacks and more frequent violent attacks.
I have taken to monitoring at least two of the local mosques locally. I take photographs, document the auto license tags of vehicles coming and going. I have noted that people come and go often and in all hours of the day. I take particular attention to any packages carried in and out. On a weekly basis, I send the photographs and documentation to the local authorities. I do no know if anyone pays attention nor do I know if the information gets forwarded upwards. I suspect that this information will ultimately be useful in identifying terror suspects and I pray the information could be used to stop an attack before it occurs. I believe the mosques to be bases used in the planning of attacks.
Maybe I am getting paranoid but I am seeing the Peaceful Religion of Islam attacking, attacking, attacking. Their openly stated goal is to kill the non Muslim or infidel of which I am one. The life I save may be my own. I encourage everyone to closely watch those who claim to be oppressed Muslims especially those who openly threated to riot or create mahem. They will do just as they say. Their actions will not be peaceful. Report any suspicious activities to the authorities no matter how minor it seems--maybe someone will pay attention.
And to the appeasers or dhimmis who think otherwise--you are wrong.

exsgtbrown,
How do you conduct your monitoring operation? Do you stand in the open, and take snaps, or do you use a zoom lens? I don't know what country you live in, but in America, standing along the roadside might be legal. Might depend on State laws...
Do you disguise your appearance, in any way? (Don't tell me how, if you do. I'm just looking for a "yes" or "no".)
I'm asking, because I'm in an excellent physical location to observe our own friendly neighborhood mosque. As I sit here, at this very moment, I'm watching the vehicles come and go. Looks like a beehive. (Except, of course for the fact that bees are useful and productive creatures; Muslims are not.)
I feel like Gladys Kravitz, the nosy neighbor of "Bewitched" fame, just sitting here. I should be doing something.
