“A car bomb outside an alcohol shop in an ethnically-mixed northern Iraqi city has killed at least seven people.” Why did it do it? What crazy idea did the car bomb get into its head that made it want to murder people in an ethnically mixed northern Iraqi city? Or was their someone who actually set off the car bomb for a perfectly discernable reason? Do tell, AAP!
“Car bomb at Iraq alcohol shop kills 7,” AAP, May 25, 2014:
A car bomb outside an alcohol shop in an ethnically-mixed northern Iraqi city has killed at least seven people, security and medical officials say.
Saturday evening’s blast, which also wounded 17, struck in the Wasati neighbourhood in southern Kirkuk, a tinderbox city that is at the centre of a long-running territorial dispute between the central government and Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region.

Sorry, but I don’t really care about these particulars anymore (though, of course, they should still be reported, as here). I just assume Islam is a totally effed-up religion which is ready to harm or kill fellow-Muslims for the faintest slight (e.g., a kiss on a cheek of a Muslima at a film festival) or non-Muslims for the slightest transgression (e.g., ah, there are thousands {hundreds of thousands} of these examples, now aren’t there?).
The situation is crystal clear: Islam is screwed up to its very core. It is a profoundly sick religion, I mean pathologically diseased, and the Irshad Manjis and Zuhdi Jassers out there have no chance to rescue their failed faith from itself. It is an enemy of free speech, freedom of religion, equality under the law and, in general, people having fun in life (hey, there’s no humor in Islam, now is there?).
That’s why someone like Ibrahim Hooper elicits my total contempt. A person like him functions in a free society, something Islam could never have created, and yet his very belief system, which he puts forward with enthusiasm and deception, would destroy the very freedoms he uses to spew his liberty-crushing poison. A parasite if ever there were one.
Respecting the Ibrahim Hoopers of the West, and there are many of these despicable human beings, I can entertain for them nothing but total contempt. Who of sense and knowledge, I submit, could take a different stance? Oh, I still accord him his freedom to regurgitate his garbage with regularity, precisely because I live in the kind of free society which Islam has always disallowed and will forever do so, but ultimately I want him and his ilk to be seen by the vast majority of Americans for the spiritual fascists that they are.
Not there yet. But were gettin’ there.

Wow, Wellington, that’s a negatronic view you have on the Moslems. But what about the 99% of them who are moderate, peaceful people? They are the Silent Majority of which Prez Dubya spoke on national TV just after 9/11. Some may get mixed up, but most are normal people who just want to take care of their families. That’s a paraphrase from Bill O’Reilly, the great author.
But extremists exist in Judeo-Christendom, too. The Basque, for example. Let’s not generalize about the whole group. I’d be happy to live next door to a Moslem family…
… because they’d be less likely to plant a bomb near their home.
Wellington says
Yeah, what was I thinking, APF? Wait, good God, do you actually think I might be, no say it isn’t so, an Islamophobe? Oh the humanity!

You wrote – “I’d be happy to live next door to a Moslem family…
… because they’d be less likely to plant a bomb near their home.”
Maybe.
But what if they were *making bombs* inside their home…like the Boston marathon bombers did, and like the British convert to Islam who had a biscuit tin full of (highly unstable) home-made explosive stored in his kitchen, as per the “How to make a bomb in the kitchen of your mom” article from the Al Qaeda mag “inspire”??
What if they didn’t follow the recipe right (or didn’t store the resulting product right)…as all too many of them seem to do…and **blew up their own house without actually intending to**? Or tripped and set off the bomb prematurely, like the suicide-bomber in Afghanistan who tripped while going downstairs, and tripped his own switch?
Living next to a mohammedan household, or a business or a mosque is potentially as dangerous as living next door to a clandestine drug lab (frankly, I wouldn’t be surprised if some mosques and mohammedan households had drug labs inside them *as well as* the wherewithal for making bombs) or an illegal and shoddily-run fireworks or explosives factory… or an arms dump.
The question, “What if it blew up?”, should be put to all Infidel town councils, whenever there is set before them a planning proposal for the building of a Mosque/ Muslim Military Base.

“It’s an absolutely outrageous ideology. If you made it up from scratch today, you’d be locked up for your own good. It brings out the very worst in humanity and it gives power and authority to violent, sadistic, savages. It has brought nothing positive to the West for the simple reason that it has nothing positive to bring.”

There is no such thing as a ‘radical’, or ‘moderate’…There is only the pious, and there is only Islam…Period…Islam cannot be reformed…Period…Anyone who believes Allah is God, cannot be trusted…Period…The jihad will continue until it is stopped…Period…Allah willing…and he always is…

Yes.
Btw, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made the same argument in a pubic appearance a few years ago, which lends authority to your analysis. His audience cheered wildly in agreement. Too bad there were no reporters there from Fox News or the New York Times.

Iraq: Islamic jihadists murder seven people with car bomb at alcohol shop
………………………
Yes—because in Islam drinking alcohol is a great sin; but murdering them in cold blood is perfectly praiseworthy.
God, I hate Islam.
