Thanks, Obama! Thanks, Hillary! Since this was an act of Ramadan piety, it brings to mind Barack Obama’s last Ramadan message, from 2016, which said: “For many, this month is an opportunity to focus on reflection and spiritual growth, forgiveness, patience and resilience, compassion for those less fortunate, and unity across communities.”
Spiritual growth for Muslims involves obeying Allah, who says “kill them wherever you find them” (cf. Qur’an 2:191, 4:89, 9:5).
“At least seven killed by car bomb in Benghazi, Libya,” by Ayman al-Warfalli, Reuters, May 28, 2018 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
BENGHAZI, Libya (Reuters) – At least seven people were killed and 10 wounded when a car bomb exploded on a busy street in the center of the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi on Thursday night, a hospital medic said.
The bomb exploded behind the Tibesti hotel, the city’s biggest, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, on a street where people were taking a stroll after a day of fasting until sunset in the holy Muslim month of Ramadan….
Benghazi, Libya’s second-largest city, is controlled by the Libyan National Army (LNA), the dominant force in eastern Libya led by commander Khalifa Haftar.
The LNA was battling Islamists, including some linked to Islamic State and al Qaeda, as well as other opponents until late last year in the Mediterranean port city.
Security has improved since then, but two mosque bombings earlier this year killed at least 35 people.
Haftar launched his military campaign in Benghazi in May 2014 in response to bombings and assassinations blamed on Islamist militants, part of anarchy that ensued after a NATO-backed uprising ended Muammar Gaddafi’s rule in 2011….

oh it’s easy to criticize Moslems. But remember, we’re the ones at fault here. It goes back to the Arab Spring, and the stupidity of Barack and Hillary.
Flavius Claudius Iulianus says
At fault? Wherever there is Mohammadism, there is pain, suffering, death and destruction. Build an unbreachable border between the Dar al Islam and the Dar al Harb and keep Mohammadans out of the Dar al Harb.

APF–with all respect–Muslims have been slaughtering each other for centuries.
Joe says
Of course, you are correct, but as ALP suggests, we have had a nasty habit of getting involved in Afghan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and probably others. We are not helping anyone.

Warfalli says: “…, part of anarchy that ensued after a NATO-backed uprising ended Muammar Gaddafi’s rule in 2011”
Oh yeah, the chaos is our fault.
I’ll take a pass on any future Arab springs, thank you.

Islam is obliged to destroy itself and create apocalypse for all rather than accept the concept of freedom. It is why the death cult of Islam
only asks you become a victim or an assassin.

Didn’t this begin with the “Arab Spring”? Be advised the next time.
Susan B. says
This began 1500 years ago.

My gut tells me, I could care less. I had rather these animals kill their own than us. I know as a Christian, I should love everyone, but I simply am unable to do so.

Brother Ray, it is not us through our feeble human efforts but the Holy Spirit that transforms our hearts to love our enemies:
Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day. – 2 Corinthians 4:16
It takes time, prayer and being constantly in Christ Jesus while never forgetting that we are in a battle of spirits, as Paul told us in Ephesians 6. Never, EVER forget that we have all sinned. We are no better than the muslim terrorists and to think otherwise is to be proud and that is where the falling away from the Lord begins. We must ONLY compare ourselves to Jesus Christ.
God bless.
Carolyne says
To love those who wish you dead is a mental illness which has no explanation. I hate Muslims and I am happy when they kill each other. If Jesus doesn’t like that, its OK with me because I do not believe in supernatural beings, either.

Ah, but a woman’s charm is 50% illusion (per Blanche Dubois, again).
