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

Baghdad: Muslims murder at least 38 people in jihad/martyrdom suicide bombings during rush hour

Jan 15, 2018 9:30 am By Robert Spencer

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties, for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)

The Islamic State has apparently not been completely eradicated from Baghdad and its environs.

“Double suicide attack kills dozens in Baghdad,” TRTWorld, January 15, 2018:

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a busy street market in central Baghdad on Monday, in back-to-back explosions that killed at least 38 people, Iraqi health and police officials said.

The attackers struck during rush hour in the city’s Tayyaran Square, which is usually crowded by labourers seeking work.

The twin explosions also wounded at least 105 people, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to talk to the media.

Earlier reports by spokesmen from the Health Ministry and the Interior Ministry had 26 killed and at least 16 dead, respectively, and dozens wounded….

Slippers could be seen scattered about on the blood-stained pavement as cleaners hurried to clear the debris. Photographs posted on social media showed lifeless bodies and pieces of limbs….

The bombing was carried out by two men who detonated vests packed with explosives, Iraqi officials said.

Tayyaran Square is a bustling centre of commerce and a place where day labourers gather in the early morning waiting for jobs….

No group immediately claimed responsibility for the attack but it bore the hallmarks of the Daesh, which has claimed such attacks before….

    When Muslims run out of non-Muslims to kill, they murder other Muslims of different sects.

    This game is called TAKFIR or in English ‘MORE-MUSLIM-THAN-THOU’.

      “60 Minutes” just showcased the other place of our $Trillion effort: Afghanistan….

      The US general there says he has the go ahead policy to do what needs doing:
      take out the Taliban leaders who are uncooperative and destroy poppy crops….

      Says the general, we need to fight the ideology behind all of this….in addition.

        Definitely NOT a “daring” attack, as so described. There is no bravery involved in a SUICIDE attack. The outcome for the terrorist is certain regardless of success or failure.

      Yeah they are killing more of others than themselves.

    Yet more Koran-inspired savagery.

    All ‘part and parcel’ of life in a big city, according to London Mayor Siddiq Khan.

    Yusuf al-qaradawi the top Sunni cleric in the world call these things martyrdom operations. I believe it is a very apt term to use.

    What causes these hatreds towards the dissident Muslim is Islam itself and the Muslim society. Everywhere you see Muslims wanting to be very devout, they compete among themselves to see who is the most believer, the one who wears the longest beard, the flip flops on cold days, the mark on his forehead for having prayed a lot … It is a society of appearances and that which belongs to a different sect must be hated … even murdered.It is not normal for an adult Moroccan to hide to drink a beer. It is not normal.

    • StellaSaidSo says

      Jan 15, 2018 at 11:01 am

      Indeed, Eur, Islam is the greatest engine for hatred ever invented. And in recent years it has been turbo-charged by the massive amounts of money committed by the Saudis to the promulgation of their particularly nasty hard-line version of Islam, Wahhabism. Glad you mentioned dress. Many Westerners who are ignorant about Islam think that Islamic forms of dress (even the burqa) are mere quaint, archaic cultural expressions, the equivalent of ‘national costumes’, like the Scots kilt or the Tyrolean hat. But they are in fact expressions sect identity, and degrees of devoutness. By wearing the full kit, the Muslim is signalling his commitment to the whole package – which is very pleasing to the clerics who run the show, and a warning to those (Muslim or not) who fail to conform. It is primarily because of Saudi money that Muslim communities in the West, and in many Muslim countries (in SE Asia, for example), have become increasingly ‘radicalised’ during the past decade. We can expect to see more ‘costumes’ on our streets in future. This is not a good sign.

      Christians have had their Pietist groups, which are always harmful to those inside, but islam is certainly some super heavy duty ‘painting the outside of the tomb’.

      Everything is made to be seen.

      Just the concept of mass prayer, or individuals, praying in the middle of the street, is enough to bring a chunk to ones throat.

    Sh**hole. Muslims prove correct Dick Durbin’s emotional projections.

    As long as Muslims continue to honor and memorize their hate-filled Scripture ISIS is not dead. Every Muslim is a sleeper. Dawa is the phone call that awakens sleepers.

    These are the things we really don’t hear on the news.

    They have the fake news about puppies and such and
    JW has the real news, and sites like it, but they claim
    the opposite of course.

    And that bit about the made up attack against muslims that
    didn’t really happen, see, more fake news.
    Of course they’d have to make it up as anything like that
    is so rare.
    When are they going to finally admit that
    “islamophobia” is a non-word???

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 15, 2018 at 10:50 pm

      News about puppies in not necessarily fake–but it is not usually of much substance.

    I guess the victims were shia s — not true Muslims according to Sunni s who, unfortunately make up the great majority of the worlds Muslim population — yet you do not hear of reprisals against Sunni s living in Shia majority Iran.

    • gravenimage says

      Jan 16, 2018 at 6:01 pm

      Your idea that Sunnis in Iran are not oppressed is way off base.

      https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/oct/16/iran-humanrights

      Sunnis and Shia are persecuting or murdering each other all over the world.

    But wait….didn’t the Roman Catholic Pope declare that this truly was the religion of peace?

  13. Bazooka Joe says

    Jan 16, 2018 at 8:05 am

    But wait…..wasn’t it the Pope, way back when, that launched the Great Crusades? So….does this mean the modern Pope’s version is the Great Charades?

    Such jihad homicide/homicide attacks do lead to the subject that there are Muslim mind control places where Muslim males are thoroughly indoctrinated into the strong but blind and unquestioning faith in Koran with all non-watered down; hard core Islam with its militant jihad. Those places, “schools,” are called madrasas. In those Islamic mind programming centers young Muslim male are ingrain in the mindset Koranic dogma of the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As the Koran instructs. As in, for example, in 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. Many of those who of such center are so much damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. As seen many times in jihad suicide, homicide bombing/attacks. For the Koran instructs in 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Furthermore, those mind programming places also ingrain the outlandish absurd Koranic doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Such a strange doctrine of a houris filled- place in found in the Koran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31. Moreover, such Islamic mind programming centers are further explained about by the scholar Don Richardson in his book SECRETS OF THE KORAN which on pages 69,70. Informs the reader that “The world needs to be warned. At least forty million Muslim youth in the Muslim worlds’ religious schools, called madrasa, are avidly memorizing the entire Koran … These schools become breeding grounds for potential terrorists. When male students, isolated from family and friends in madrasa, reach puberty and their hormones are active, there are no girls to date. Instead, Muslim clerics easily shift to focusing the male student’s attention on Koranic verse that promises sex in heaven with dark-eyed houris. Students can only fantasize about martyrdom followed by the sexual release Muhammad promised. This is an unspeakably cruel brainwashing technique , and the Koran is its perfect guidebook.”

      Mr Richardson is right about that.
