The Islamic State has a truly global reach, because of the appeal of its claim to reconstitute the caliphate. Yet Western analysts have no idea about why it is so appealing to Muslims worldwide, as they have already decided that it has nothing to do with Islam.
“At least 33 killed in suicide bomb attack by Islamic State on bank in eastern Afghan city,” by Lydia Willgress, MailOnline, April 18, 2015:
Thirty-three people have died and 105 are injured after a suicide bomb attack in an Afghan city.
An explosive-laden motorcycle was detonated next to military personnel and civilians gathered outside a bank in Jalalabad early this morning.
They were waiting to receive their monthly salaries as crowds bustled around them when the bomb exploded in the busy commercial district.
Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the attack, President Ghani said.
Speaking from Badakhshan he said: ‘Who claimed responsibility for horrific attack in Nangarhar today?
‘The Taliban did not claim responsibility for the attack, Daesh claimed responsibility for the attack.’ Daesh is an Arabic acronym for the Islamic extremist group.
An online posting by a person purporting to be an Islamic State spokesman could not be immediately verified….

islam, “religion of pieces”, as it’s more aptly referred to …
Yes IS *is* islam!
Shane says
IS must stand for Islamic Savages, because that is what they are. Kill them all.
Jay Airahs says
Muslims should be no more impressed by their suicide bomber who fears not death than by the wild-eyed drunkard with fiery breath?
What boasts of courage cowers in terror, afraid of admitting that Islam offers nothing but emptiness, misery and a pathetic life of kissing the decrepit dead butt of a worthless disgrace named Muhammad while eyeing every neighbor with endless fear.
Shane says
Obama is disgusting and cowardly for repeatedly denying that Muslim terrorists have nothing to do with Islam, even though he does know better. Obama is deserving of another “Dhimmi of the Year” award.
Nathan says
Ah yes, all of those people from the other faiths from around the world joining the islamic state.
What! Nobody…. Not ever? Hmmm…..
I wonder why? As faith has nothing to do with it. What can it mean?
Do me a favour…..

Even the pillar on the right side of the photo is making a smiley face and mocking Muslims and their dead prophet for their stupidity.

Imagine a world, the most modern world, with the greatest technology.
Imagine a world, the most advanced world, where science seems to make anything possible.
Imagine a world, the most logical world, where educated people know better than to waste their time arguing how many angels can fit through the eye of a needle.
Imagine a world, the most liberated world, where people are free to believe of not to believe whatever they want.
Imagine a world, the most deluded and wrong-headed world, where the evil tenants of the death cult of Islam are dismissed in the name of political correctness, and the leaders and officials close their eyes, cover their ears, and shut their mouths and punish those who speak to truth about it.
Welcome to the world in which we live. The modern world that was progressing so fast to a shiny future of greatness and liberty for all. The world derailed and under siege by a moon god religion of the Dark Ages, fuelled by oil money billions buying silence and deception — until it hold dominion over all.

With this new a tragic deadly affront of this jihad suicide/homicide bombing is thus a good time to reiterate the very important message which is the this terrible action of evil and madness is, for the must part, the outcome of the Muslim clerics in Islamic mind programming centers which are mosques and madrases who in those places of Islamic brainwashing thoroughly indoctrinate the Islamic doctrine from the Koran, 4:54. 55:56. 78:31. of a lust- filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the male Muslim who dies in the jihad for the cause of Islam. The people who comes out of those Islamic mind programming center are so ingrained with this Koranic doctrine as well as so mind warped and deluded that they view such murderous bombing attacks as “martyrdom operations.” Such false teachers as these imams who preach about a lust- filled place with many virgins are explained about in the Bible. For of such false teachers the Bible reads in Second Peter 2;18. “For they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lust of the flesh…” Furthermore, many a times a jihad minded Muslim in his death recording ,just before he goes out to die in the jihad he talks about “the 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 given in marriage, but are as the angles in heaven.” Matthew 22:29,30. In contrast to the Islamic pipedream of the jihadist in the Koranic story/doctrine of a place with virgins, Christians have the reality of Second Peter 1 :16. Which reads “For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ…” [K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
As for such heinous suicide/homicide bombings they are the result .many times, of the mind control and mind programming that is done to people in both mosques and madrases. The people who come out of those Islamic brainwashing centers are so very warped, sick and deluded that they have literally become “dangerous to self and others.” To those hideous Imams who brainwash those people. Shame on them ! They will have to answer to the God of the Bible for their evil, Roman 14:12. Let those imams and other Muslim clerics go out and commit the suicide bombings if they really do believe that doing so is such a grand thing.

72 virgin raisons
Oops! Surely you misunderstood. Your reward is 72 RAISONS.
But, I prayed five times a day and I gave up everything.
What kind of paradise offers only 72 raisons?
Paradise is not to be found here.
This is where they send all the suicide bombers.
“Are you a suicide bomber too?”
Oh no my crime is much worse, I ordered the slaughter at Medina.
I lied and said I was a prophet and it was God’s will.
Then you must be?
EXACTLY
Here have some yogurt with those 72 raisons.
Oliver says
Afghanistan, where Afghan “soldiers” murder American and others who try to help them.
Sorry, I have no sympathy for the people there (and the people in Pakistan) who do the same.
Better that the Muslims murder other Muslims in their own crap holes then humans in the US, Israel or any other civilized country.
Just my views–probably unpopular; and I am sure one or two people would say I should be banned.
Hummer says
We need to have leaders with the courage to tell it like it is even though leftists will never get it until too late. The majority of terrorism is coming from what motivation-that is what needs answered nationally and internationally.
