“Karrada, an upper middle class district in the Iraqi capital, is mostly inhabited by Shia, but also has quite a large Christian minority. The area becomes very busy after sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.” Sunnis consider Shi’ites to be heretics, who under Islamic law are to be killed, and Christians to be kuffar harbi, Infidels at war with Islam, who under Islamic law are to be killed.
The Islamic State also has called for mass murder of Infidels during Ramadan.
Not that this has anything to do with Islam.
“83 killed as 2 blasts rip through Ramadan crowds at Baghdad shopping areas (PHOTOS, VIDEO),” RT, July 2, 2016:
Two blasts have ripped through busy market areas in Baghdad, Iraq’s capital, killing around 80 people and injuring 160. The Islamic State militant group has claimed responsibility for one of the attacks.
Iraqi officials quoted by AP put the death toll from the first attack, in Karrada district, at 78 and said that more than 160 people had been injured.
Interior Ministry spokesman Saad Maan confirmed that the first blast had come from a car bomb.
Eyewitnesses said on Twitter that many shops burned down as a result of the explosions, and there are fears that the number of casualties could grow.
Karrada, an upper middle class district in the Iraqi capital, is mostly inhabited by Shia, but also has quite a large Christian minority. The area becomes very busy after sunset during the holy month of Ramadan.
Shortly after the explosion hit Karrada, eyewitnesses said that a second blast targeted the Shaab neighborhood, which is located in the northern part of the city.
AP said that at least five people were killed in that bombing and another 16 were injured. Meanwhile, Sky News Arabia said a suspected homemade explosive device was used to hit a market.
Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) has in an online statement claimed responsibility for the attack in Karrada, Baghdad.
The tactics resemble Islamic State’s signature, as the terrorists frequently choose Shia-populated civilian areas in the capital as targets.
Iraqi security officials are attempting to restore order amid the state of panic that has ensued following the attacks, Altaf Ahmad, a local journalist, told RT.
“Major roads leading to the venue of the explosion [in Karrada] have been cut off. We know that the car bomb that went off in the area that is known to be crowded at this time. After sunset, after the break of fast during the holy month of Ramadan many people start to go out… We are expecting that the number could rise to 100 casualties,” Ahmad said….

Muslim murderers hard at work, so as not to miss the dead line of allah’s Ramadan month. Muslims get perhaps 10 times as many whories for murdering non-Muslims as they would get in other months. Can’t pass up that great opportunity!
The world is coming apart due these Muslims and the west can’t stop pandering to Muslims. Says a lot about our present leaders!! Sigh!

Got a nephew who served in Iraq in an Armor unit. Almost nightly they did fire missions against Shia Jihadists coming across from Iran. His take on the whole “Muslim” thing was to arm both side to the teeth and let them kill each other off.
Oliver says
Ollie North did that during the Iran/Iraq War.
AND OLLIE WENT ONE BETTER.
HE BOUGHT DEFECTIVE POLISH RIFLES ( NOT MEANT AS A SLUR TO THE POLISH ARMS INDUSTRY- THESE WERE RIFLES AND OTHER WEAPONS THAT WERE DEFECTIVE).
BOUGHT THEM FOR VERY LITTLE, SOLD THEM -FOR TOP PRICES.
Weapons either could not fire, would explode when firing, etc. The Muslims never tested them-gave them to their troops, .
As Dr. Kissinger said, at the time ( and jsut as true today) ” a shame that both sides cannot lose”.
Idania says
Will the West deny that there is a Jihad war? Look at the recent at racks b Muslims, especially in Northern Europa. Where are the military? It is time for them to start taking control.

Islam has created ISIS – a totally evil cult for which Muslim never take any responsibility and always blame “somebody else”, the West. Hypocrites!
Hey Abbas – in case you don’t know or don’t want to know – Muslims have killed more than 300 million non-Muslims worldwide, including 80 million Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, from India alone, in last 1400 years. And you keep bringing how Muslims USA has killed. We only kill Muslim terrorists and the civilian casualties do happen in wars! But Muslims do nothing but kill innocent non-Muslims!!First address your genocide and then point fingers at others!!

As USUAL with every followers of Muhammad each and everyone of you suffers from ‘Blame all others Syndrome’ and that is why Muslims have NOT progressed in the last 700 years!
You opined “your plan of destroying / attacking Iraq Syria and Libya to make space for terrorist group is a big success Islam was there in these lands for last 1400 years” knowingly ignoring the FACT that it was you BASTARD Muslim Arabs who Conquered, Slaughtered, Plundered, Enslaved, Raped and OCCUPIED these lands and their peoples in the first place
abbas, ALL over the world the mood of the peoples is turning UGLY against Muslims who are slaughtering CIVILIANS all over the globe even though they have absolutely NOTHING to do with the USA, the West or Israel.
I predict that in Europe to start with many people will elect Anti Muslim parties and overthrow the current clueless criminal elites who keep pandering to Muslims.
I am also foretelling that the days of Muslims in Dar al Harb are NUMBERED and this will be as TRUE as ALL the other predictions that I have made since 911!
Muslims are the most COWARDLY creatures on the planet who invariably target unarmed CIVILIANS but are always defeated on the battle field
You and other Muslims can Huff & Puff for as long as you are alive. Islam will NEVER rule over the Earth but on the contrary will be ERADICATED so that PEACE will become a reality

A terrorist activity like this back in the 1960s, would have dominated the headlines for a longtime. It is sad that this kind of horrible news has become so common that people don’t often notice it.
I read this headline and remembered the other headline at the top about the guy who converted to, and exited, islam.
When so much killing become associated with a religion, what kind of attraction people can find in it?

“Muslim & Proud!”

Of course, this evil perp is “proud” to identify himself with mohammedans that just murdered 83 innocent people in cold blood. Yep, now there’s something to be “proud” of / sarc.

Before there was Western colonial rule, there was Arab Islamic Muslim colonial rule from India to Europe to Africa!1 How convenient for you to forget that. It seems Muslims always forget all their criminal acts for last 1400 years very easily since you consider them holy as ordered by that Mo/allah. A world wide genocide of non-Muslims by your fellow Muslims is a record that no body can break!!
Also remember allah is alter ego of Mohammad and figment of Mohammad’s epileptic imagination and you pray to him. You cannot even distinguish between evil and good since you have no remorse for killing, raping, stealing, invading ..and on and on. !4000 years of Islamic history is a proof of this sad tale. For you guys evil is holy as allah tells you but you become so braindead after following Quran that you can’t even question what the heck allah of yours is telling you!! Well keep going – but it will better for you leave Islam and jin the humanity.

Thank you for your reply which proves to the readers that as usual with Muslims (starting with your DEPRAVED mentor Muhammad) your IQ is so LOW that like Muhammad 1400 years ago you resort to: Plagiarize Plunder Pirate or Pervert the ideas, concepts and thoughts of OTHERS
abbas, the days of Islam are NUMBERED. The Writing is on the Wall BUT because Muslims are too stupid to read the Bible, you are going to be flushed DOWN to the sewer where you belong
It is impossible for Ummat Muhammad (Muslims) of 20% of current humanity representing the LEAST Productive Inventive and or Creative people in history to WIN against Ummat al Kuffar (Nation of Infidels) of 80% of non Muslim humanity representing the MOST Productive Inventive Creative & Powerful in human history
No matter how and what you reply or say, Jihad Watch readers as I told you before are among the BEST l;earned on Islam in the world and an Muslim imbecile such as yourself will neither worry them or deceive them

Question (personally, I hope that the answer is YES) will the shia’s now go and kill 100 or so Sunnis? Perhaps ( hopefully) more.
then the Sunnis can go and kill another hundred or so Shias, and the Shias–etc.
And keep it going. just do it in Syria; Iraq; parts of Lebanon; Algeria; Morocco; Pakistan; Afghanistan; Tunisia; and possibly the ” no go” zones in Europe. Just be sure it is Sunnis the Shias are killing and Shias the Sunnis kill.
