“Police officials said a suicide bomber targeted a street filled with hardware stores, killing 22 people and wounding at least 45. The second attack took place shortly afterward in central Baghdad’s popular Shorja market. Police said two devices detonated 25 meters apart from one another, killing at least 11 people and wounding 26.” Will the Islamophobia never end?
“Baghdad bombings kill 37, wound 86: officials,” by Vivian Salama, Associated Press, February 7, 2015:
BAGHDAD: A pair of bombings in the Iraqi capital Saturday killed more than three dozen people hours before the city’s longtime curfew was set to come to an end.
The deadliest attack happened in the New Baghdad section of the city. Police officials said a suicide bomber targeted a street filled with hardware stores, killing 22 people and wounding at least 45.
The second attack took place shortly afterward in central Baghdad’s popular Shorja market. Police said two devices detonated 25 meters apart from one another, killing at least 11 people and wounding 26.
Also, at the Abu Cheer market on a Shiite block of southwestern Baghdad, at least four people were killed and 15 wounded when a bomb detonated outside an outdoor food market.
There has been no claim for any of the attacks thus far. Hospital officials confirmed the casualties. All officials spoke anonymously as they are not authorized to brief the media.
The incident comes ahead of Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi’s decision to lift Iraq’s longtime curfew beginning at midnight Sunday….
Iraqi officials have repeated assured that the capital is secure, despite the occasional targeting of Baghdad’s Shiite-majority neighborhoods by ISIS.

One again the folly and madness of a brainwashed and deluded suicide/homicide bomber result in much murder and mayhem. One reason these kind of bomber commit this action of evil is because of the story/doctrine form the Koran, 44;54. 55:56. 78;31., of a paradise, with houris, for those who engage in this deadly action for Islam. The warning against believing in such false religious stories is found in the Bible which teaches against giving “heed to fables…” First Timothy 1:4 The imams and the mullahs who indoctrinate this type of false doctrine of a lust filled place with many virgins, houris, in it for the jihad minded male Muslim are also warned about in the Bible .Which warns about false teachers who “Speak great words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” Second Peter 2:18. Furthermore, many a times a Muslim in his death recording talks about “his wedding with the virgins” that he will have after he becomes a “martyr.” Such a belief Jesus would denounce as being based on false teaching. For Jesus taught “Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures,nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are they given in marriage but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29:30. In contrast the Islamic pipedream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christian have the reality of Second Peter 1:16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devises fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]
Michael Copeland says
There is a curious correlation with the imams who urge suicide-bombing:
they do not practice what they preach.

Off-topic, but not so much. This from today’s WSJ by the RINO Peggy Noonan, who supported Obama in 2008:
Also needed: “a digital strategy that stresses that ISIS’ behavior contravenes tenets of Islam and means misery for those they dominate.”
Why, that is just not true. And by true I mean in the factual reality sense. What Caliph Al-Baghdadi is doing is in full compliance with the tenets of Islam as set forth in the Holy Ko-Ran and in the Sunnah. The Islamic world is a dog-eat-dog world, naturally, and the new Caliph is at the table devouring all he can. It doesn’t matter that right now the dog meat is Moslem meat. By the lights of Islam — one of the world’s great faiths, one of the three Abrahamic religions — what’s wrong with that?
She’s complaining about Obama’s handling of Moslems. Fine. But she also is deluding herself about Islam. That seems to be going around big-time these days, and not just from Barack Hussein at the prayer breakfast meeting on Wednesday where we learned the guy didn’t take history in college.

Of course, talking of books, those written by Robert Spencer over the years are more insightful on the nature of Islam than anything which mainstream publishers would publish.

What an absolute *dump* downtown Baghdad looks. It’s like some third world country. The joys of islam …

“Mirror, mirror on the wall
Which religion is best of all”
While many dispute which is best,
all agree that Islam is by far the worst.
Since Islam can never be fixed, Muslims are always pissed.
That is why they kill other Muslims and non-Muslims.
It is the only way they can ever hope to move up the list.

Now that Jordan is taking measures against ISL – maybe they can clear out Iraq from this vermin and take over that forsaken territory. Might be an improvement….

Allegory of the Savannah
In the heat of the midday sun on the African savannah, herbivores in large herds graze on the life giving dry, golden brown fodder left from the preceding lush season of grass. Carnivores lurk among the brush stealthily selecting their prey, as they approach the unsuspecting beasts. Suddenly, violence erupts, a cloud of dust, roars, yelps, stampeding hoofs drumming the tough, dry ground as frightened wildebeests of all ages scatter in sheer terror, eventually settling on a safe refuge, a quiet corner on the far end of the prairie, away from the slaughter. As if synchronized, all eyes peer out, gawking, from motionless bodies, but with trembling limbs, looking for the unfortunate comperes. The dust settles and they rivet their gaze on their dead comrade, whose hooves point skyward, with bowels ripped out and scattered about, hovered over by experienced killers, mouths and teeth dripping with blood, ravenously devouring the still warm carcasses. Hours later, the pride with bellies full lumber off the open meadow to digest their quarry peacefully and contentedly under the shade. With the killers out of sight, and nerves calm, the herds return in mass to grazing on the same bloodied field, unperturbed because another subsistence would be unimaginable.
Jay Boo says
That allegory of a killer stalking its frightened wildebeest prey that return again unperturbed might not fully apply to the Sunni/Shiite divide.
They both enjoy slicing and dicing each other apart.
Also, unlike carnivores who kill fill their bellies full to survive, Muslims who butcher each other to seek a rushing sensation of piety bliss end up at the end of the day staring into Islam’s bleak meaningless pit of darkness longing only for the next war-gasm fix to end their growing awareness of Islam’s hopeless emptiness.

Baghdad: Islamic jihadists murder 37 people, wound 86
……………………….
The worst thing is that I am almost desensitized to these sort of atrocities—God knows, I wish I were not. But how could it be otherwise, when these sort of Islamic “operations” are so very, very common?
Another reason to hate Islam.
