Suicide truck blast kills 28 in northern Iraq

Sunni-Shi'ite Jihad Update. From CNN:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- A suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden truck into a village near the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar on Monday, killing at least 28 people and wounding 50 others, an Iraqi army official said.
At least 19 of those killed were children, Brig. Gen. Najim Abdullah told The Associated Press.
The blast left a 10-foot crater in the ground and damaged 10 homes in the Shiite Turkmen village of Qubbak, about six miles (10 kilometers) northeast of Tal Afar, the army official told CNN.
The suicide bomber used a dump truck and covered his deadly wares in a layer of gravel, Abdullah told the AP.
In Baghdad, three roadside bombs detonated in various neighborhoods, killing at least 11 people and wounding 33 others, according to the Iraqi Interior Ministry.

...sounds like it is time to implement a new rule of safety....no gatherings of more than three people within 25 yards of the next group of people.....

when the last islamists left standing in iraq, we can send back the Iraqi Christians who left for their safety to resettle into Iraq. Iraq will become a true Democratic nation with a
majority Christian population.

I say give them terrorists what they want.

Death.

As often and as quickly as possible.

They've slipped below the level of the human with their immoral terrorism, and now seek release from their madness.

Release them.

And less pussyfooting about it.

They only get worse.

Zena, oh were that the case...the Chaldean and Maronite Christians lay claim that precedes that of the heretic mohammedans.

But we Christians are not like them. We care when babies are blown up. Islamists, well, another day at the office. Our soldiers can't fight like those bastards, epecially when the enemy is on our side.

I'm a bit off today. I just got my high schooler's religion book. I always go immediately to "islam" and this book does not mention jihad at all, even as one of the 5 pillars.

We all know the 5 pillars of Islam:

Bombing
Rape
Pedophilia
Decapitation
Torture

And recently Ibrahim Hooper from CAIR (Who cares? ) responded to C.Hitchen while on the Paula Zahn Live about the endless slaughtering in Iraq by - and to muslims - Muslims killing other Muslims and bombing Holy Sites like a Mosques that SHOULD outrage the peaceful Muslims, Hooper's retort is on a video record for all to see and he merely brushes it off by claiming that he is not in Iraq and won't Judge those Muslims over there.

The deafening silence by 1.2 billion peaceful Muslims remind me of the comment by Sherlock Holmes for collecting evidence after a crime has happened .
He (Holmes) mentioned that "The dog that Didn't bark " was just as valid for the case as " The dog that Did bark " , so while the 8'000'000 Muslims in America (CAIR's numbers not mine) have a few number of them willing to overtly denounce the actual Muslims doing the Terrorism , we still have CAIR and Hooper only denouncing all acts of violence by anybody killing " Innocent civilians" .

Hooper is the guard Dog that barks when criminals try to enter the home , except , when the robber is a Muslims he suddenly looks for the Root-causes for why the Muslims became a criminal.

It's the Quran , Stupid!
