US soldier held after 5 colleagues shot dead in Iraq

  •  Hmm, why would he do a thing like that? Is there a possibility that he was a ‘revert’ to the Religion of Peace who was afflicted with “Sudden Jihad Syndrome?”  Like this guy?
  • No name was given. Why do you think that is?

BAGHDAD: A US soldier is suspected of opening fire on his comrades at the largest American base in Iraq on Monday, killing five soldiers in what was the single deadliest toll on US forces in a month.

Sudden Jihad Syndrome? Imam Shoots and Kills Two American GI's

* Nothing to see here, look away: Catholic bishops do it all the time, and the Methodists and Buddhists are worse, right? From our “nothing to do with Islam” department:

Imam at Iraqi army training centre mosque shoots and kills two American GI’s

There is no reliable way to distinguish a “moderate” from an “extremist,” given the deep roots within Islamic texts and teachings of the jihad doctrine and Islamic supremacism, and given the fact that no Islamic sect or school of jurisprudence has declared Osama bin Laden’s understanding of Islam to be un-Islamic. Here is more proof of the correctness of that observation.

Canadian journalist might be the only person still shocked that a mother would blow up her own toddler for the cause of Allah

 Mommy blows up with toddler — this has got to be a new low for militant Islam    (is there any other kind?)
National Post

Having spent this morning catching up on my weekend reading, I came across this Page 4 article from Friday’sNew York Times. Here’s the lead paragraph: “BAGHDAD — At least 80 people died and 120 others were injured Thursday in three bombings, one by a female suicide bomber in Baghdad who, Iraqi officials said, held a young child’s hand as she set off her explosives among a group of women and children receiving emergency food aid.”

Even putting aside our baseline revulsion at terrorism, there are three especially hideous things that jump out from this:

1) A mother deliberately taking her (presumed) child with her as she immolates herself. For all the hundreds of suicide bombings that Iraq has already witnessed, this has got to be a first.

2) This was a line for food aid. Islamists have gone from attacking U.S. soldiers, to attacking Iraqi soldiers, to attacking police stations, to attacking the religious ceremonies of rival sects — on down the line of nihilism until, now, they are reduced to blowing up hungry people seeking sustenance.

3) This hideous crime was played on page four of The New York Times. And a quick scan of other media suggests it got similar B-rate treatment elsewhere. This sort of act would have been worth a worldwide banner headline a decade ago. But now, it’s just another demented Islamist senselessly slaughtering fellow Muslims. With her kid. Yawn.

Says a lot about the world we live in, doesn’t it?

Yep…

Iraqi Shiites Getting Really Shitty

Iraq: US raid ‘crime’ that breaks security pact

By BRIAN MURPHY – AP

BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq’s prime minister denounced a deadly U.S. raid on Sunday as a “crime” that violated the security pact with Washington and demanded American commanders hand over those responsible to face possible trial in Iraqi courts.

Iraqi government rushes to defend Iranian-backed jihadists

“I always knew my man Nouri would carry my water for me”

The Iraqi Democracy Project, which I thought was doomed even before it started, was always liable to create a Shi’ite client state for the benefit of Iran, since the Shi’ites have the numbers on their side in Iraq. The whole thing was predicated on a misapprehension of the importance within Islam of the imperative to impose Sharia. Now, in any case, the Shi’ites and Iran are clearly in the driver’s seat.

Iraq:  60 killed in double suicide bombing

Updated on 24 April 2009/Source PA News

Back-to-back suicide bombings have killed 60 people outside the most important Shiite shrine in Baghdad, a day after the country was rocked by its most deadly violence in more than a year.

The bombings are the latest in a series of high-profile attacks blamed on Sunni insurgents, police officials said.

The latest bombers detonated explosive belts within minutes of each other near separate gates of the tomb of prominent Shiite saint Imam Mousa al-Kazim, located in the northern neighbourhood of Kazimiyah, said a police official.

James Hider in Baghdad/Times Online

Iraqi security forces have arrested four children who were allegedly part of a group of youngsters being groomed by al-Qaeda to become suicide bombers, an Iraqi army general said.

The children, who were detained in a village near the northern city of Kirkuk, were part of a cell known as the “Birds of Paradise” and were being specially trained to avoid detection as they carried out attacks, security officials said.

Christian and Muslim leaders "condemn violence" in Mosul

*  The evil crusaders must be attacking poor widdle Muslims again:

p4_Rowan%25231%2523.jpg
A Shia, Sunni, Druid, and Copt share “common ground”

And, while condemning violence, they “find no justification in Islam or Christianity for those promoting the insecurity or perpetuating the violence evident in parts of Iraq.” A half-truth if ever there was one. Yes, there is very little “justification” for violence in Christianity. Remember that whole thing about “turning the other cheek”? But why is Christianity brought into this in the first place? The issue is Muslims persecuting Christians in Mosul — not Christians persecuting Muslims nor Christians persecuting Christians, for that matter. As for Muslim persecution of Christians (or “infidels” in general), Islam does indeed offer “justification” — indeed commandments — to subjugate them and dominate the world.
