“Isis suicide bombers blow up dozens of shoppers in Baghdad market,” by Matt Broomfield, Independent, February 28, 2016:
Isis jihadists have killed at least 31 people in a suicide bomb attack in Baghdad.
The two bombs were detonated in a mobile phone market in Sadr City, a primarily Shia district in the suburbs of the Iraqi capital.
According to Iraqi police, the men arrived in the crowded market on motorcycles before detonating their suicide bombs.
Shi’ite areas of Baghdad have long been targeted by Isis, though the militant organisation is yet to claim responsibility for this attack.
Isis are known to have been active overnight in the outskirts of Baghdad in their largest assault on the city for months. Suicide bombers and gunmen attacked army and police posts, killing at least 12.
They seized positions in a grain silo and a cemetery, 12 miles (25km) from the centre of the city and adjacent to the international airport. At least four militants are believed to have died, with another 20 currently pinned down in the grain silo.
The Sadr City attack is the latest to claim the lives of Shia Muslims in Baghdad. On 25 February, a so-called “double-tap” bombing killed 15 people at a Shia mosque. One bomber blew himself up, before a second assailant detonated his vest as security forces rushed to the casualty scene.
In January, Isis launched a series of co-ordinated attacks in Shia areas across the Baghdad metropolitan area and beyond, as gunmen, suicide bombers and a car bomb killed over 50 people.
In a statement after the attacks in Shi’ite suburbs and a shopping centre, Isis said that it was deliberately targeting “rejectionists” (the derogatory term it uses to describe Shia Muslims), and added that “worse was to come”….

Iraq: Birth rate is around 0.5% per year ( official statistics would be smaller as they show registered births). So 32 million that makes 150,000 births per year. And violent deaths from 2015 around non combatants 20,000, then you’ve got to add old age, disease and combatant.
Morbid statistics of war – but it does show the origin of the Quaranic and Hadith quotes that call for many wives and the wife is never allowed to say “not tonight Abdul”.
I imagine these ratios during the Ridda Wars and invasions of Persia and North Africa would be comparable.
it is interesting that a religion/ideology that is basically formed during war, needs war to justify it. Not really a happy thought!

@Annie Linder the short answer is, no. According to the latest estimates the civil war in Syria has so far carried away 400 000 lives. During the same 4 year period 500 000 children were born in Syria.
@John Johness You have to unjust your numbers for unreported births as a large proportion of children in Iraq is born outside the medical system.

If an unbeliever is killed by a Muslim it is fair and square. But if a Muslim is killed by a kaffir, that is unlawful and not allowable. Strange are. Islamic doctrines.o

Many Sunnite Muslims count Shi’ites as ‘disbelievers’ and therefore, they may be executed as ‘mushrikoon’…’polytheists’, since Shi’ites make shrines to their saints.
Shi’ites have a highly developed system of taqiyya to protect them from murder by Sunnite Muslims.
