Islamic State jihad suicide bomber murders 12 Shi’ite militia fighters

IslamicStatefighterIt’s all in the Qur’an: “Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (9:111)

“Islamic State suicide bombing kills 12 Shi’ite militia fighters,” Reuters, December 10, 2014:

(Reuters) – A suicide bomb and mortar attack by Islamic State militants killed 12 Shi’ite militia fighters north of Baghdad on Wednesday and a series of bombings in the Iraqi capital killed six people, military and medical sources said.

The militia fighters were killed when Islamic State militants commandeered an armored Humvee, rigged it with explosives and drove it into a school where the fighters were based near Dijla district, 20 km (15 miles) south of the city of Samarra.

They followed up with mortar and machine gun fire, a source at the Samarra Operations Command said, and clashes continued.

Radical Sunni Islamic State fighters, who control much of north and west Iraq, are battling the army, Kurdish peshmerga forces and Shi’ite militias allied to the Shi’ite-led government in Baghdad, which is also supported by U.S.-led air power.

Islamic State have lost some ground since they swept through northern Iraq toward Baghdad in June, but they continue to hold swathes of territory and carry out attacks on many fronts.

A local commander said several militants were killed in Iraqi air strikes on Wednesday against an Islamic State target near the town of Muqdadiya, north of Baghdad.

Around the capital, bombs killed six people and wounded 23 others, police and medical sources said. A soldier was killed by a roadside bomb in Tarmiya, north of Baghdad while two civilians were killed in an explosion in the agricultural area of Arab-Jubour to the south.

A third bomb, on a commercial street in Mada’in, also to the south of Baghdad, killed three civilians….

    Excellent. The West should keep out of ISIS’s attack on Baghdad.

    Let them slaughter each other to a standstill.

      Again, I’m with you, Mirren. As I have noted before here at JW, there are four givens in life: 1) death; 2) taxes; 3) Muslims killing non-Muslims; 4) Muslims killing Muslims. 4) is preferable to 3) by far, and both 3) and 4) overlap with 1).

      But don’t count on rubes like Obama and Cameron grasping this (of course, I know you won’t). They never will. They are either forever ignorant or forever complicit and, respecting what’s at stake,, i.e., the future of Western liberty, the difference here is practically irrelevant.

      Hope you and yours are doing well. You know, I will never give up because a free human being is important above virtually all other matters. Islam doesn’t get this. Obama doesn’t get this. Cameron doesn’t get this. All the PC/MC fools out there don’t get this. To hell with them all. Better dead than a dhimmi, no? Take care, my British friend.

    A battle to the end would be fine
    Ironically, the Shi’ite militias are the ‘good guys’ relatively speaking and I would hold off too much cheering with the sobering reality that the other side is beheading children.

      ”Ironically, the Shi’ite militias are the ‘good guys’ relatively speaking … ”

      There are *no* ‘good guys’ in islam, even relatively speaking, except insofar as a lot of mohammedans don’t carry out all the violent tenets of islam ; you know, all those unicorn ‘moderates’. Even then, there is no guarantee such ‘moderates’ won’t become more pious, and spring into jihad mode. There are many examples of such; Rajib Karim, the 7/7 murderers, the Glasgow doctors, to name only three..

      ” … I would hold off too much cheering with the sobering reality that the other side is beheading children.”

      Do you think Shiites won’t behead children if they get the opportunity ? Shiites have committed fully as many atrocities as sunnis, so yours is a distinction without a difference.

      In any case, ‘holding off cheering’ will not stop mohammedans committing atrocities, so I think I am fully justified in cheering the destruction of some of the most evil, vicious and vile creatures on the face of the earth.
