The ‘Islamic State of Iraq,’ an Al-Qaeda affiliate, said it is honoring the month of Ramadan with a new blessed foray of violence in the country, claiming responsibility for Monday’s attacks that killed at least 116 and wounded at least 300.
Muslims have such a unique way of celebrating their holiest of days. And unlike the rest of the civilized world, they have to shove their filthy traditions in our faces 30 days at a time.

IB TIMES “The Ministry of War has mobilized its sons and mujahideen brigades and their military groups in a new blessed foray in the holy month of Ramadan,” said the ISI statement that was initially posted on an Islamist website and translated by Reuters.
Meanwhile, Syrians, as well as Iraqis who had fled their country during the height of violence in Iraq in 2006, are now fleeing into makeshift refugee camps on the Iraqi side of the border.
Al-Qaeda militants, who identify as Sunni, struck the predominantly Kurdish cities of Kirkuk and Mosul to the north, the village of Taji, and a Shi’ite district in Baghdad on Monday. In all, 35 attacks — shootings, car and roadside bombs and in-the-street assassinations — took place in seven of the 18 Iraqi provinces.
Kurds are viewed by Sunni Islamist militants as pro-Western and largely secular. Tensions among lawmakers from the two Muslim branches and Kurdish delegates have intensified in the country’s legislature in recent months.
Shi’ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has been unable to solidify a government. Key cabinet chairs remain empty and support for the leader is waning.
“They promised us that violence would end when American troops leave Iraq, but on the contrary, things are getting worse,” college student Khalid Nima told CNN on Monday. “This is not the country where I want to plan for my future.”
The previous deadliest day of the year in Iraq occurred on June 13, when 93 people were killed in a similar string of violence. June was the bloodiest month in Iraq since the U.S. full withdrawal in October 2011; at least 237 people were killed and another 603 were wounded.
The specter of Al-Qaeda escalating attacks in Iraq comes as the civil war in neighboring Syria is also intensifying. While the Free Syria Army, or FSA, is taking center stage as the primary rebel force, Al-Qaeda and other Islamist militants in Syria are trying to fight against Bashar al Assad’s Ba’athist government to form an Islamic state.
“We have experience now fighting the Americans, and more experience now with the Syrian revolution,” Abu Thuha, a 56-year-old Al-Qaeda operative told the New York Times in a story published Wednesday about growing concerns that Islamist militant groups are attempting to hijack and broaden Syria’s civil war.

Good news. Pay the sunni al-qaeda to finish the shiite leaders in iran. Give them a bonus if the do a good job.
Iranians are bigger threat then the gun wielding al-qaeda.
If al-qaeda ever gets close to nuke weapons, nuke them.

allah, ramadan, all synonomous with the death cult of islam. All we have to do is to stay out of the 57 hell holes of islam and let the savage muslims murder each other as they have been doing ofr over 1400 years. The sunni murder the shite who murder the kurds, who murder the alawates and so on. All good news.

I saw that on tv. Is that the same explosion where some pussy is yelling asshole akbar? Radicals with no fucking life, so they must take someones life. They do it in the name of allah. What a lame excuse. The pigs breed like rats. Nuke the nest. I wonder if obama and hillary are getting a nut on all of this violence going on over there caused by their good buddies.

this is an insane religion. the MSM must report this and I don’t understand why they continue to turn a blind eye to allof this
SusanK says
Muslims killing muslims. That’s what they do best. Can’t wait to see the tally of deaths when Ramadan ends.
They should list the number of injuries also that outnumber by far the deaths.
I was reading on a number of sites how they also develop road rage during Ramadan. This seems to be a major problem. And how their blood sugar levels explode during Ramadan.
Thank you Allah for Ramadan.

I am sure that Obama won’t let them into our country, he only lets the “peacefull” ones to enter our country!
foxmuldar says
Why can’t Muslim Obama go over to Iraq and explain to those dickheads that Islam is the holiest of Religions and On Ramadan their supposed to be fasting, not killing each other. Perhaps he can discuss this with the Muslim Brotherhood when he holds his next Iftar dinner. I wonder how many terrorist will be let in this country this time to attend the feast?
