Which kills more people: “Islamophobia” or the Sunni-Shi’ite jihad? Yet which gets more government and media attention?
“Three large blasts rock Baghdad in just a few hours, at least 60 killed,” Middle East Eye, May 17, 2016:
Baghdad came under attack again on Tuesday with three separate blast rocking the city, killing at least 58 people.
The two initial blasts were reported around midday. The first happened at an outdoor market in the predominantly Shia neighbourhood of al-Shaab, while a second blast, believed to be a car bomb, happened shortly after, killing at least six in the southern neighbourhood al-Rasheed.
A few hours later the third blast went off in a market in Sadr city, a largely Shia suburb in north-eastern Baghdad. Initial reports indicate that 19 people have been killed.
At least 90 other people have also been injured in the blasts which took place at around midday, officials told AFP.
The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the first two attacks.
The bombings are the latest in a string of high casualty attacks, which has now seen more than 160 people killed in and around Baghdad since last week….
IS overran large areas north and west of Baghdad in June 2014, and later made further advances in Anbar, seizing its capital Ramadi in 2015.
On Monday, the Pentagon said that IS has lost almost half of what it had once held in Iraq….

Judi says
GOOD! A few less savages in the world.
Jay Boo says
Actually,
Bombings are indiscriminate.
Of the 160 people killed there very well may have also been innocent children.
Eur says
Yes.
Angemon says
Isn’t it funny how the “you’ve brought it on yourselves”, “you provoked them”, “you poked them in the eye” logic is never applied to muslims?
miriamrove says
Muslims have been killing each other the minute their murderous and pedophile prophet died. This is nothing new here. m
Mohammad says
you are making a big mistake. No prophet is like that. All are from God. Devil tries to concoct his own version. And here’s Zionist Saudi terrorists, having to do NOTHING with true Islam
Angemon says
miriamrove is right.
DFD says
To Angemon,
Ho, Never mind the logic, enjoy the good news!
(And distribute sweets in the streets? 🙂 )
Phil Horaia says
“The way of peace they know not” (Isaiah 59:8). Islam is founded upon violence and there is no culture of peace in it. Mo said that at the end of time there would be 73 sects of Islam, and all but one would be going to Jahannam. So Sunni and Shia will continue to fight until either Islam comes to an end or the end of the world comes.
Eu says
violence only brings more violence .. and more Muslims to Europe where they’ll kill us
Eu says
It is normal to see so many children at the scene of an attack and not just happening in Iraq. In Molenbeek during the arrest of Abdeslam same thing happened , many Muslim children in the street.
linnte says
Yes, this will encourage more migration. I am sure that is the intent, aside from showing the Suni who’s boss. And didn’t anyone SEE a nonSuni in the area ready to blast these poor people? Ahhhhh, that’s right, they don’t tattle.

I wish Slenderman would come to life and destroy them all.

islam Prohibit killing with unjust:
3:21. Verily! Those who disbelieve in the Ayât (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah and kill the Prophets without right, and kill those men who order just dealings, announce to them a painful torment.
5: 32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land – it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allah by committing the major sins) in the land!.
6: 151. Say (O Muhammad SAW): “Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: Join not anything in worship with Him; be good and dutiful to your parents; kill not your children because of poverty – We provide sustenance for you and for them; come not near to Al-Fawâhish (shameful sins, illegal sexual intercourse, etc.) whether committed openly or secretly, and kill not anyone whom Allâh has forbidden, except for a just cause (according to Islâmic law). This He has commanded you that you may understand.
Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 371
Yazid al-Faqir said: This view of the Khwarij (i. e. those who commit major sins and would be eternally doomed to Hell)
Muslim :: Book 1 : Hadith 159 ,160
Ubaidullah b. Abu Bakr said: I heard Anas b. Malik saying: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) talked about the major sins, or he was asked about the major sins. Upon this he observed: Associating anyone with Allah, killing of a person, disobedience to parents. He (the Holy Prophet further) said: Should I not inform you about the gravest of the major sins, and (in this connection) observed: False utterance or false testimony. Shu’ba said. It was most probably” false testimony”.
Muslim :: Book 17 : Hadith 4237 ,4238
Ubida b. as-Samit repnrted: I was one of those headmen who swore allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) that we will not associate anything with Allah, and will not commit adultery, and will not steal, and will not kill any soul which Allah has forbidden, but with justice nor plunder, nor disobey (Allah and His Apostle), then Paradise (will be the reward) in case we do these (acts) ; and if we commit any outrage(bad, violence) (and that goes unpunished in the world), it is Allah Who would decide about it. Ibn Rumh said: Its judgment lies with Allah.
17: 33. And do not kill anyone which Allah has forbidden, except for a just cause. And whoever is killed (intentionally with hostility and oppression and not by mistake), We have given his heir the authority [(to demand Qisâs, Law of Equality in punishment or to forgive, or to take Diya (blood money)]. But let him not exceed limits in the matter of taking life (i.e he should not kill except the killer only). Verily, he is helped (by the Islamic law).
25: 68. And those who invoke not any other ilâh (god) along with Allah, nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.
49: 6. O you who believe! If a rebellious evil person comes to you with news, verify it, lest you harm people in ignorance, and afterwards you become regretful to what you have done.
Bukhari :: Book 9 :: Volume 89 :: Hadith 320
Not to join anything in worship along with Allah, (2) Not to steal, (3) Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse, (4) Not to kill your children, (5) Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation among people), (6) Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deeds.
Bukhari :: Book 5 :: Volume 58 :: Hadith 233
Narrated ‘Ubada bin As Samit:
I was one of the Naqibs who gave the (‘Aqaba) Pledge of Allegiance to Allah’s Apostle . We gave the pledge of allegiance to him that we would not worship anything other than Allah, would not steal, would not commit illegal sexual intercourse, would not kill a person whose killing Allah has made illegal except rightfully, would not rob each other, and we would not be promised Paradise if we did the above sins, then if we committed one of the above sins, Allah will give His Judgment concerning it.
Muslim :: Book 7 : Hadith 3142
Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him) reported. When Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, granted Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) victory over Mecca, he stood before people and praised and extolled Allah and then said:…………it (this territory) was not violable to anyone before me and it was made violable to me for an hour of a day, and it shall not be violable to anyone after me. So neither molest the game, nor weed out thorns from it. And it is not lawful for anyone to pick up a thing dropped but one who makes public announcement of it. And it a relative of anyone is killed he is entitled to opt for one of two things. Either he should be paid blood-money or he can take life as (a just retribution).
Muslim :: Book 17 : Hadith 4238

Bukhari :: Book 6 :: Volume 60 :: Hadith 134
…………… “I do not know that killing a person is lawful in Islam except in three cases: a married person committing illegal sexual intercourse, >>>one who has murdered somebody unlawfully<<<>>>>>A person who killed somebody unjustly, was killed (in Qisas,) <<<<<<<<(2) a married person who committed illegal sexual intercourse and (3) a man who fought against Allah and His Apostle, and deserted Islam and became an apostate."

Muslim :: Book 16 : Hadith 4156
'Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) having said: No person who is killed unjustly, but the share of (this offence of his also) falls upon the first son of Adam, for he was the first to introduce killing.
Dawud :: Book 39 : Hadith 4487
……..I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: It is not lawful to kill a man who is a Muslim except for one of the three reasons: Kufr (disbelief) after accepting Islam, fornication after marriage, or wrongfully killing someone, for which he may be killed. ……………………

AbdurRahman ibn Samurah said: I was holding the hand of Ibn Umar on one of the ways of Medina. He suddenly came to a hanging head. He said: Unhappy is the one who killed him.

I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: If anyone goes to a man of my community in order to kill him, he should say in this way, the one who kills will go to Hell and the one who is killed will go to Paradise.
Angemon says
sham posted:
“islam Prohibit killing with unjust:
(…)
5: 32.”
Now hold it right there, buddy. 5:32 is about Jews (you know, the “Children of Israel”).5:33 is ordained to muslims:
Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment,
What does it mean to “strive upon earth to cause corruption”? It means, for example, criticizing islam, muhammad, draw cartoons about muhammad, etc.
What’s “just” and “unjust” in islam rarely, if ever, overlaps with what’s “just” and “unjust” in Western values and culture. Is it just that a women needs to present 4 (four) male eyewitnesses to report a rape? Is it just that you’re allowed to kill people because of their religion?
