Ramadan in Yemen: Islamic State explodes car bomb at Shi’ite mosque

Jul 8, 2015 5:31 am By Robert Spencer

car bomb shiite mosque“The car bomb, at the Al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sanaa, went off as worshippers were leaving after evening prayers, witnesses and a security official said.” That was so as to maximize the carnage.

“In a brief statement posted on jihadist websites, Islamic State said it had ‘taken revenge’ against the Huthi rebels who have seized swathes of the country.” This will probably lead to a reprisal attack from the Shi’ites that will also be ascribed to “revenge,” leading to a third “revenge” attack, and then a fourth, and so on and on.

“Deadly car bomb hits Shiite mosque in Yemen capital,” AFP, June 8, 2015:

Sanaa (AFP) – A car bomb exploded outside a mosque in the Yemeni capital of Sanaa on Tuesday, killing at least one person and wounding five, in a fresh attack on Shiite rebels claimed by the Islamic State group.

Meanwhile, a Saudi-led coalition bombarded cities and towns in southern Yemen, as the targeted rebels accused it of killing 124 people on Monday in one of the deadliest days of its air war.

Tuesday’s bloodshed came two days after UN envoy Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed arrived in Sanaa bidding to secure a humanitarian truce in a conflict estimated to have killed 3,000 people, mostly civilians.

The car bomb, at the Al-Raoudh mosque in southeast Sanaa, went off as worshippers were leaving after evening prayers, witnesses and a security official said.

A medical source said at least one person was killed and five more wounded.

In a brief statement posted on jihadist websites, Islamic State said it had “taken revenge” against the Huthi rebels who have seized swathes of the country.

Elsewhere on Tuesday evening, four rebels were killed and 10 wounded in a suicide car bombing that targeted a police station in rebel-held Baida, in central Yemen, a security official and witnesses said.

Baida is a stronghold of Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), also very active in southern and southeastern Yemen….

    KILLER#1 allah, Q9:5 “Then when the Sacred Months (the Ist, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then KILL the Mushrikun (‘DIS[allready heard of Allah]believers in the ONEness of Allah’, not UNbelievers who have NOT heard from Allah!) wherever you find them”

    Tafsir 9:5 “… means, on the earth in GENERAL”

    ‘Revenge is mine’ says Allah, as he prepares some boiling drinking water. But he plans no revenge for those who murder in his name. He has declared them innocent believers simply being tested…Allah takes responsibility for the actions of the pious in Quran 8:17…So far ISIS and it’s extensions have passed most of Allah’s tests. But there is more. He has a whole book of tests to pass. The index to all that is sharia law.
    Of course, passing Allah’s tests with the Quran, sharia, and examples of Mahound as the guide, does not mean it has anything to do with the ‘true Islam’…We know this because Rasool Obama bin Kerry, and Abu Cameron said so…If you don’t believe them, ask Joe Biden, he can tell you a thing or two about Islam…

    What can I say? Jonathan Swift was right on the money with Lilliputians and Blefuscudians.

      Please spare us your bullocks. The “chosen” great names of the Torah are people like Jacob, who fooled his blind father so he could get the rightful inheritence of his brother Esau who had done him no wrong.

      The one who later on travelling with his sons came to another tribe. Of this tribe a man fell in love with his daughter and the daughter in love with him. The father of this man came with him to ask for the hand of the daughter of Jacob.

      Jacob replied, that they need to become jews first. They agreed and willingly underwent circumciscion so the two could marry.

      Then, it is written in the “holiest of books”, that while the two foreign men were lying down from wound-fever induced by the barbaric and immensly painful act of cutting the foreskin, the sons of Jacob killed them – and then moved on to the village where these two came from to robb and plunder.

      And if you think that this is the sickest of these great figures of the jewish faith, then you better think again. For me personally the most evil of deeds was done by Moses and his gang when they wiped out the midianites.

      Just take the position of the young girls, who first had to watch as their fathers and grandfathers were killed, and then they had to watch how their mothers, garndmothers and grown sisters were chocked to death – and their brothers killed.

      Moses commanded his warleaders to kill them all – EXCEPT the virgin girls – who were enslaved and left alive for the hebrews – which of course means in order to rape them.

      But not all the virgins survived – those who were more lucky than the ones who became permanent captives of this vile Cult were sacrificed by Eleazar the high priest since “God” commanded that the loot is to be divided and of each plundergood a certain part is to be “given” to the Priest so he can “give it” to Jahwe.

      It is clearly stated that also some of the enslaved virgin girls were sacrificed for “God’s” honour.

      I’m really getting mad when I hear this nonesense of you christians about hot Jahwe is God. Jahwe is not God, but a demon and Moses, Abraham, Jacob, David etc. were a bunch of fucking criminials so sick that you can barely imagine the level of their sick actions nowadays.

      If you don’t believe me look at Numeri Chapter 31 and then I dare you to come back and make up excuses for this evil which is so evil it makes even Mohammed look like a saint.

        @Celtic.
        Allow me, if I may… It occurs to me that you (and I) probably don’t know the whole story. You refer to Yahweh, i.e., Jehovah God, as “a demon”, and “Moses, Abraham, Jacob, David etc. were a bunch of fu-king criminials”. Assuming that you’re not muslim, I can only say that Jehovah God commanded a JUST SENTENCE upon an immoral depraved social order of that day!

        WOULD YOU PRONOUNCE A DEATH SENTENCE ON PEOPLE WHO WERE SACRIFICING AND BURNING THEIR OWN INFANT CHILDREN TO HEATHEN IDOLS?????

        Of course, if in fact you are MUZZLUM…WELL THEN, SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW?????

          Jul 9, 2015 at 5:02 pm

          “WOULD YOU PRONOUNCE A DEATH SENTENCE ON PEOPLE WHO WERE SACRIFICING AND BURNING THEIR OWN INFANT CHILDREN TO HEATHEN IDOLS?????”

          LOL – let’s assume it is true – then indeed they had little difference to Moses and his Gang – there are also commands in the Torah to “give the first son to Jahwe” and also the first sheep etc- “all first borns are mine”.

          And what is your claim now?

          That those midianites were so evil that “God” needed to command to kill all the children except the virgins – some of whom were enslaved and raped and the others were ritually sacrificed?

          Typical ABSURD christian thinking – just because you are so afraid to let go of your Dogmas.

          “Hey – the sacrifice their children – let’s go and kill them all, except the virgins, they will be raped and sacrificed”.

          WHAT A BUNCH OF NONESENSE you are talking here. And yes, Jahwe is a demon – or is your concept of God that of a bloodthirsty, warmongering and wrathful God who does love revenge and knows no mercy?

          A God who demands sacrifices and wipes out children? Jahwe is NOT the God of Jesus, “Saint”Paul the false apostle did well to fool all of you.

          And no, I’m an apostate in fact and see the very same darkness in the jewish religion as I see in Islam. A muslim would btw never call Moses etc. criminals, since Moses is also a Prophet in Islam.

          You obviously know nothing about Islam when you don’t know this.

          To celtic:

          just to answer ONE POINT OF YOUR DIATRIBE.

          GIVE YOUR FIRST BORN——-.

          That is- the first born is then redeemed.

          IT IS NOT ( THE CHILDREN, NOT TALKING ABOUT THE SHEEP) SACRIFICED.

          BY THE WAY, THE JEWS HAVE SURVIVED FOR OVER 5600 YEARS. NAME ONE CIVILIZATION- ANYWHERE EON EARTH- CLOSE TO THAT.

    ISIS seemingly attacks Shi’ite mosques at will, killing scores of ‘apostate’ Muslims. When is Iran going to step in and crush ISIS? They won’t, because, as we all know the real problem is the Jews.

    I am confused–this is getting almost as confusing as Syria. Who are the good guys” The bad guys” The almost good guys” Really bad guys””

    Not that I care, as long as it is Muslims killing Muslims.

    And, a shame, a car bomb, and only 1 killed and 5 or so injured. Would expect more.

    And, a Saudi airstrike killed 124 rebels. Also a shame; 112,400 would have been a better number. Even 1,240. Make all bombs count

    Do your homework before regurgitating garbage. There is no such thing as a “Shiite Mosque” In Yemen.

    In Yemen, the Shia’s are Zaydis and Dawoodi Bohra Ismailis, with the Zaydis being the majority Shia sect and Dawoodi Bohras an insignificant minority.

    The Zaydis are theologically close to Sunni Shafi’is, closer than mainstream Twelver Shias found in Iran. The Zaydis don’t curse the companions of the Prophet and the first three Caliphs and don’t believe in infallible Imams. They don’t believe in the Twelfth Imam.

    Zaydis pray Taraweeh prayer like Sunnis and they also pray alongside Sunnis. The Zaydis and Shafi’i Sunnis of northern Yemen pray together in the same Mosques. The Mosques are not differentiated by sect but instead by political affiliation. So people belonging to the Houthi movement will pray in a Houthi affiliated Mosque, people belonging to Islah (Muslim Brotherhood) will pray in an Islahi Mosque, people belonging to the GPC party will pray in a GPC Mosques.

    And there are Zaydis and Shafi’i Sunnis in all three parties. Because Zaydis are accepted as Muslims even by fundamentalist Sunnis, unlike Twelver Shia who are regarded as Rawafid by fundamentalists.

    There are Zaydis and Shafi’i Sunnis serving the Houthis, Islah, and GPC.

    On the other hand, mainstream Twelver Shia pray in separate Mosques from Sunni. So Twelver Shia do have separate “Shiite Mosques” but Yemen doesn’t have Twelver Shia.

    So the bomb attack was targeted against a Houthi Mosque where some Zaydis were praying. Not against a “Shiite Mosque”.

    It seams to me there are more flavours of islam than beers in an english pub, and all hating each other, the western marketing machine should apply a worldwide add campain to convince all sects to grief the other sects ..

    Get the muslims to do all the hard work, they will never stop fighting so we should get them fighting each other with conviction

      I have said this before, but unsure where I first read it.

      There are supposed to be SEVENTY THREE ( 73 ) sects and sub sects of Islam.

      And SEVENTY TWO (72 ) are not “real Muslims”, and they are supposed to fight until only the ” true Islam” is left.

      I would hope that they get to it. And don’t leave any.
