In Samarra is the Al-Askari Mosque, a Shi’ite shrine, so this is likely to have been Sunni jihadists targeting Shi’ite pilgrims as part of the ongoing Sunni-Shi’ite jihad. But no one dares explore the motives and goals of the perpetrators of murderous attacks like this one; to do so would be “Islamophobic.”

I’m sure the sunni will refer to it as an “islamophobic conspiracy”. Damn shiites, always blowing themselves up to blame poor, innocent sunni mahommedans! Or maybe it was da joooooosss! Israel must have been behind EVERYTHING!!!

this violence is simply part of the deceptive theology of Islam where war is peace, evil is good, lies are truth, darkness is light, and slavery to Allah is freedom.

“Terrorist wearing an explosive vest detonated himself…”
The doctrine that drives thousands of Muslims to this level of despair is not, as many of us think, the promise of 72 virgins in Paradise. It’s something else based on FEAR, fear of “The Torments of the Grave”!!!
