What fitter way could there be to celebrate the birthday of Muhammad? After all, Islam holds that it was to him that Allah gave the momentous guarantee: “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.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Yemen suicide bomber kills 33 celebrating Prophet Mohammed’s birthday,” Reuters, December 31, 2014 (thanks to John):
A suicide bomber killed at least 33 people in central Yemen on Wednesday when he blew himself up at a cultural centre where students were celebrating Prophet Mohammed’s birthday, medical sources and a resident said.
Dozens of people were also wounded in the attack in the mainly Sunni but Huthi militia-held city of Ibb, the medics said, warning that the death toll was likely to rise.
Among the wounded was Ibb governor Yahya al-Aryani, who was attending the Huthis’ commemoration of the Prophet Mohammed’s birthday, a medic said.
Security sources said another bomb was discovered at the entrance to the event’s venue.
Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the Yemen branch of the jihadist organisation, had pledged to fight the Huthis, who overran the capital Sanaa unopposed in September and have since advanced into other, mainly Sunni districts, including Ibb….
AQAP leader Nasser al-Wuhayshi has accused the Huthis of collaborating with the United States and Iran to destroy Sunni Muslims.
Peter Buckley says
Celebrating Muhammad’s birthday is seen as evidence of “shirk” by devout muslims. No doubt the tragic irony of this incident will be lost on many “moderate” muslims. How long before they ( “moderate” muslims) realize they are the principal victims of Islam, by the hands of its most devout followers? Even in Yemen…

Not as long as most seem to think…….
Angemon says
And cue in the usual suspects saying something along the lines of “he was no true muslim, just look at how he attacked a celebration of muhammad’s birthday!”. Reality check: devout muslims consider this kind of celebration as worshiping someone else other than allah – it’s idolatry as far as they’re concerned, and the people they’re killing are hypocrites (people who embraced islam but willingly engage in non-islamic practices).
USA and Iran? C’mon man, you forgot Israel and DA JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSS!!!!!
Oliver says
Agemon-
He didn’t forget Israel and the Jews, BUT since Israel and Iran are not on good terms, he is saving them for the next bloodbath.
Really, only need two enemies at a time.
besides, since Israel used squirrels to spy on the Iranians, a few years ago, do you think that the Iranians would let the Israelis know anything about their plans (other then what they spew ( and the Israelis find out for themselves)/

“… in the mainly Sunni but Huthi militia-held city of Ibb”
Sunni vs Shiite, Molotov vs Ribbentrop… the battle of egos continues.
john spielman says
too bad all the muslims in the world don’t get together and just blow themselves up to “paradise” and leave the rest of us to live our lives in peace
Oliver says
John,
i agree with you. At one time, (I think on JW, but am not sure) there was an item that there are 73 different sects 9 my term-I think another was used-but sects is good enough) of Islam and 72 are fraudulent, and they will have to destroy themselves (72 of the 73) so that only the ” true” one is left.
I think that is a good beginning. A better ending would be-as i am sure that you will agree–all 73 destroy each other. And leave the rest of us alone.
Richle says
or as Pat Condell says, maybe what Muslim men need to do is find an inflatable woman and blow her up

Oh, what a good one ! But they prefer boys unfortunately.

Call it Blastphemy, a terminal form of being rightly guided. Though the actual date of Muhammad’s birth is debated, traditionally and “prophetically” it fell on April 20th, appropriately sharing a birth date with Adolf Hitler. “Milad-un Nabi or Maulid (Mawlid) is the birthday celebration of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (s.a.s.) and is celebrated by Muslims as Eid-e Milad. Prophet Muhammad was born Arabia in the city of Mecca on the 12th day of Rabi-ul-Awwal, which was Monday the 20th day of April, 571 A.C.”

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/yemen/11318823/Yemen-suicide-bomber-kills-33-celebrating-Prophet-Mohammeds-birthday.html
is another example of crummy reporting. The report is about the birthday of Mohammed (pbuh), but Reuters won’t tell us when his birthday *is*. If we knew when his birthday is,
bobm says
islam is a viral corruption; it is powerless to save, to redeem, to bring forth life ….. only death. lies.
mariam rove says
Muslims on Muslims! It is Christmas all over again! Keep it coming! M
ekbano says
I agree. Let them fight amongst themselves, try and outdo each other in casualties amongst their sects and divisions. Can we offer a reward for most killed in a gathering? I’ll supply the cup.Ho ho ho. Merry Christmas. Happy new year.
ruth says
How else could a muslim celebrate the angel of death’s birthday except by death???..
Jay Boo says
If the birthday of Muhammad happens to overlap December 25 on our calendar sometime in the future, Muslims might have to reconcile the contrast.
Muhammad’s life was a life full of sin.
Baby Muhammad’s innocence was brief.
Islam began in the mind of a little boy named Muhammad over 1400 years ago in a far away land in strange little neighborhood where the flies had no wings and the ants had no legs and Muhammad’s little ‘pets’ somehow always ended up dying gruesome deaths.
Salah says
They fight in the cause of Allah , so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
Some Muslims blow themselves up out of perversion, they desperately want their 72 virgins. Others, out of fear, they desperately want to avoid the Torments of the Grave.
Muhammad’s strategy: the Carrot and the Stick.

Jack Diamond says
Don’t forget pressure from the family. The Shaheed martyr fighting in Allah’s Cause may intercede to bring 70 of his relatives into Paradise with him.

My”Ref thuggee” and “Mental Asylum Seeker” List just got shorter !!
Oliver says
Particolor– your list might have gotten MUCH shorter–I just- rereading the article and other comments– IT WAS 33 STUDENTS.
I missed that– ‘students” when i read prior.
IF (a big IF, I know) students in Yemen, like students in the civilized world, are 9or tend to be, anyhow) young/younger– then, by getting killed young, cannot reproduce more terrorists, I mean Muslims.
The bomber could have done the world a bigger favor then he or she thought.
A shame, however, that just 33.
The renegade says
Muslims will be seeking asylum alright – mental asylum – if they want to follow this evil, delirious and mentally retarded prophet of theirs.
Muslims need to be classified in a new category when seeking asylum – mentally retarded and should be placed in a body strap so that cannot drive vehicles and ‘accidentally’ run over kufrs.
But I digress from topic, what an appropriate way to celebrate the prophet of doom’s birthday then by re-enacting his life’s foot steps of slaughtering people.
If each and every human was to turn to Islam, then it would be the beginning of the end of human civilisation as each Muslim would kill the other Muslim in a joust to determine who is the purest and true Muslim and what better way to determine this than by starting a jihad and whoever wins, victor can say that Allah is with them and the loser Muslim killed can go to paradise – sounds like a win win situation for all.

I see Karma is on to them !! A courier on a Motor Bike never got to the Church on time, where He/It was headed ! Blew up short in the Street ! Police are Piecing Together the Evidence but are sure it was the work of the Religion of Peace !! I didn’t Quiet catch where it was ? But someone will know !!
GKP says
And this is how Islam gives peace , it is only through death. Quit Islam to save mankind form suffering .
There is no hell and no heaven with 72 virgin pussy waiting . Everything is false the entire teaching of Qur’an is against the humanity. The suicide bomber and 33 victims will never be seen , they are dead . Tragically for ugly cause.
Shame
