Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Death toll in Islamic State jihad bombing in Baghdad now 213

Jul 4, 2016 8:39 am By Robert Spencer

How happy the Islamic State mujahedin must be, that they have pleased their bloodthirsty god as Ramadan draws to a close. “Kill them wherever you find them,” he commands (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, and 9:5), and they obeyed.

Baghdad

An update on this story. “More than 200 dead in IS-claimed Baghdad blast: officials,” by Sabah Arar, AFP, July 4, 2016 (thanks to Steve):

At least 213 people were killed in Sunday’s Baghdad suicide bombing claimed by the Islamic State group, officials said, making it one of the deadliest ever militant attacks in Iraq.

The suicide car bombing, which ripped through a crowded shopping area and sparked infernos in nearby buildings, also wounded more than 200 people, security and medical officials told AFP on Monday.

The area in the capital’s Karrada district was crowded with people shopping ahead of the holiday marking the end of the holy Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi vowed “punishment” for those responsible, and his office declared three days of mourning for the victims of the attack.

Abadi also ordered changes aimed at addressing long-standing flaws in Baghdad security measures, including scrapping fake bomb detectors that were in widespread use at checkpoints years after the man who sold them to Iraq was jailed for fraud in Britain….

    Let’s face it, this gets much less attention in the West than the lower numbers murdered in Paris, Brussels, Orlando. When Muslims murder their fellow Muslims, it is a case of one big yawn.

      What, you think we should be sobbing ? Not me. What goes around, comes around. If you espouse a foul and evil ideology, which teaches you terror is victory, this is what happens. Pffft.

        On the contrary. Mirren, I think if the West was better informed of just how much terrorism Islam breeds and in how many different places – especially in places with lots of Muslims – it would make more people far more concerned about importing huge numbers of Muslims into their non-Muslim countries.

        Laurence didn’t say we should be sobbing. He said the West isn’t paying *attention*. In other words, we aren’t being informed (except by non-mainstream sources). It’s easy for the Western public to get the idea that Islamic terror happens mostly to us, and to swallow the idea that it’s our own meddling in Islamic countries that has brought that about. But when you see how frequently people are being murdered in the name of Islam all over the place, it sheds a different light on what it might mean to import hundreds of thousands or a few million Muslims into one’s own country.

        People *need* to pay attention.

    Thank goodness we are only dealing with the JV team and not something more dangerous – as Buraq Obama would have us believe.

    You reap what you sow.

    It’s time for more fake religion detectors.

    This is what allah is all about, mass murder and terror. And this is what muslims are keeping alive with their continued support of this diabolical belief system. I constantly hear that not all muslims are terrorists, but somehow I’m not comforted. There’s an awfully small gap between actually committing terror for allah and merely agreeing with it. And that’s what “moderate” muslims do with their preference for sharia over our democracy, with their intimidation against free speech, with their raping and enclaves… in most every important area of life these muslims prove their dedication to the islamic ideal of supremacy for allah. And it’s this culture and climate of bigotry and intolerance that encourages terrorists to kill, it provides a kind of moral justification since the motivating doctrine is alleged to be of divine origin–sick. That’s why I agree with a moratorium against muslim immigration. It’s the most effective means to curtail the jihad hate and terror their faith teaches and incites.

      The muslims’ “preference” for Sharia is not, in fact, a personal choice. It is an INSTRUCTION from the mosque. No option is available.
      “It is not for a believing man or a believing woman, when Allah and His Messenger have decided a matter, that they should [thereafter] have any choice about their affair.”
      Koran 33:36, part of Islamic law.

        The muslims’ “preference” for Sharia is not, in fact, a personal choice.

        Sadly you’re all too right about this, it’s an obligation that comes with a death threat, though the west may provide a modicum of protection to those who choose to leave. I made the mistake of imposing my own world view and democratic mindset onto islam which forbids any right of “preference” in regard to islam and sharia. So yeah, thanks for correcting me on that. I’ve always compared islam to organized crime, once you’re “in” you’re in for LIFE. Unless you want to risk winding up dead like an unsubmissive infidel.

    More than 200 dead in IS-claimed Baghdad blast

    Can you feel the intra-religious love?

    • Jerry says

      Jul 4, 2016 at 11:05 am

      Not too long ago muslims and their leftist allies used to tell us it’s a “religion of peace” because they knew many would believe them. Now I think they do it to insult and degrade us, kind a like a serial killer in court who taunts the victim’s family with smiles, giggles, and gleeful admissions. Islam is a diabolical threat, and the protection they get from the left only makes it that much more diabolical.

    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.
    This kind of horrible atrocities has been going on for a long time yet people in the west still convert to Islam and their leaders still claim it is a religion of peace.
    This is the world upside down, When so much killing become associated with a religion, what kind of attraction people can find in it?

    This is nothing more than adherents of the religion of peace inflicting pain on other adherents of the religion of peace.
