Damascus: Jihad suicide bomber murders at least nine, wounds several

Jul 2, 2017 5:54 am By Robert Spencer

Damascus is full of people who believe that others around them are insufficiently Muslim, and thus worthy of being murdered. And Paradise is guaranteed to those who “kill and are killed” for Allah (Qur’an 9:111).

“Suicide bomber in Damascus kills at least nine, wounds several,” Reuters, July 2, 2017:

At least nine people were killed and 15 others wounded on Sunday when a suicide bombing struck an eastern district of Damascus, a monitor said.

“Nine were killed, among them civilians and soldiers, in the suicide bombing that hit Tahrir Square in Damascus,” Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, told AFP….

One of the suicide bombers blew himself up in a square in central Damascus after being encircled by the authorities. The other two car bombs were destroyed by the authorities, state media said.

State TV said the security forces had prevented “the terrorists from reaching their targets”, saying they had aimed to target busy areas on the first day back to work after the Eid al-Fitr holiday….

    It is becoming more and more apparent that the Koran is more of an Arabic “License to Kill” than a sacred religious book.

      Agreed 101 per cent.

        THE KORAN is a troop motivator, a Machiavellian hoax, a plagiarized text that is self-referentially incoherent, ungrammatical, illogical and unhistorical, incomprehensible in the original text, a racist manifesto of hatred towards non-Arabs, a solicitation of murder, an anti-Semitic hate text, an anti-Christian death warrant, an extortionist’s manual, a justification for pedophilia, polygamy and violence against women. The Koran appears to be the rantings of a schizophrenic. There isn’t a single useful idea in it, and much that is in it is obviously erroneous, stupid and morally repugnant. It preaches implacable hatred and endless world war against non-Muslims until victory. So long as there is this book, there will be no peace in the world.

          Your description is simple and to the point and about perfectly describes the Koran. I don’t understand how any human would want to be associated with Islam.

      That is exactly what it is.

      And they all have a daily quota of human carnage to fulfill for their bloodthirsty Allah.

    “… At least nine people were killed and 15 others wounded on Sunday when a suicide bombing struck an eastern district of Damascus, a monitor said…”

    On and on it goes, the fight for the prize of Damascus. Whatever one thinks of Syria’s Leader, the men and women of the Syrian Government Forces have fought an unbelievable battle against a terrorist Jihad that almost took the country under its control. It has been like the battle of Stalingrad, a despot that no one needs to admire, but loyal troops who put their lives on the line suffering casualties that would have fractured and scattered most professional militias. And one last comment; Assad did not cause the emergence of ISIS and associated groups, they were organised and ready to move well before his political crackdown. ‘Assad As Cause’ was always a convenient fiction built of wishful thinking under the Obama administration. Yes, Assad should go, but what we saw in Syria and Iraq with the abortive Caliphate fits the pattern of the entire Middle East which has been set alight by a vision of the Sword of Islam.

      Damascus was once the capital of the Islamic world and has great prestige for a victor.

        Damascus was once an important center of Christianity. The great damask mosque was a large Christian church. (And before a temple to a Roman god). The Muslims conquered apricot and horror began.

        It’s a shame Muslims won’t all find a big field and blow themselves all t pieces and leave normal people alone.

    Mohammed commands the killing of apostates, and promises eternal rewards for doing so:
    “When I relate to you the words of Mohammed, by Allah, I would rather die than bear false witness to his teachings. However, if I should say something unrelated to the prophet, then it might very well be a lie so that I might deceive my enemy. Without question, I heard Mohammed say, “In the final days before Redemption there will emerge groups of foolish youths who will say all the right things but their faith will go no further than their mouths and will flee from their religion like an arrow. So, kill the apostates wherever you find them, because whoever does so will be rewarded on Judgment Day.” -Sahih Bukhari 9,84,64

    Did you ever notice that 99 times out of 100 Muslims kill unarmed people going about their lives and causing no harm to the murdering butchers. That because to be Muslim is to be a cowardly swine who follows a child molesting prophet.
