What?!? Using a mosque to build bombs? UNPRECENTED! </sarcasm>

[Cap Huff]

FYI

[MplsSteve]

No, no, no. That's impossible.

Islam is a religion of peace. It wants to harm no one.

If there really were IED's found in the mosque, they were obviously planted there by US soldiers who are part of a Zionist conspiracy to discredit Islam.

"Bombmakers in mosque blow themselves up"

DOH!

[GreenAccord]

I hope you're laughing at that picture as hard as I am right now.

[colorado tanker]

So, the jihadis committed a "war crime" against their own mosque?

[MEG33]

Great timing!

I think of all the activities we had in the basement of our Lutheran church...Scout meetings, bake sales, craft workshops...

Can't remember any bomb making though. Now why are they called the "Religion of Peace" again?

[topher]

Can't we make this FRONT PAGE news?

It should be a few chuckles to Freepers...

[Kokojmudd]

Oh, I misread this . I thought it said Bookmakers in mosque blow themselves up. That would have been bad.

[Ben Mugged]

I'd like to hear their conversation with allah.

[roaddog727]

F'n Idiots.

Good for 'em.

ROTFLMAO!

"I think of all the activities we had in the basement of our Lutheran church...Scout meetings, bake sales, craft workshops... "

We just had spaghetti on Wed. nights.

Inconceivable

That place is holy in more ways than one!

It is way past time we start targeting Mosques. Religion of peace my A$$

"Premature Jihadlation"

[Mr. Mojo]

Oh, I misread this . I thought it said Bookmakers...

Funny, I made the same initial misread, wondering what they were taking wagers on. .....perhaps the over/under on Mecca turning to glass. I'll put it at 2012.

[CougarGA7]

I love hearing stories like this.

"Ackmed, connect the red wire to...NO WAIT the GREEN WIRE!"

Boom.

[jazusamo]

[pissant]

Excellent news!

[Rockitz]

Allah Ak-BOOM!

Ahhh, good, old Ipeodt. I hear they may have some job openings in a couple of weeks.

[NutCrackerBoy]

If this reporting is accurate and gets mainstream attention, I think it will help make the world understand that the sectarian violence is organizing itself within mosques and the new Iraqi government must take extraordinary measures to root it out.

[txroadkill]

OK, I know this is too easy, but, does that mean Islam is actually the "Religion of Piece(s)"?

[roaddog727]

Looks like old Zarqawi is picking his noes in you pic post.

Most appropriate!

[Petronski]

[Eastbound]

"Islam is a religion of peace."

A religion in pieces, more likely. A belief system that is apt to blow you to pieces.

Rules of Prayer:
(1) Do not place detonator on prayer rug.
(2) Do not close eyes to pray until you are safely kneeled.
(3) When starting to pray and you hear a ticking sound, pray the short version.

[princess leah]

Yes, that is in Arabic it means PIECE(s)!

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Zark is trying to cool off his finger after touching the hot barrel of his gun.

[WKUHilltopper]

Making weapons/explosives in a mosque? No way! It's a lie, somebody was probably only heating up a can of peas and forgot to open the lid!

[A CA Guy]

A mosque is a religion of peace sanctuary. This story has to be false, how can they harbor bomb makers in the religious building? Were they building bombs religiously?

[Dark Skies]

Come on down boys...allah's got a big surprise for you!!!

[COEXERJ145]

Allah Fubar!

[Paperdoll]

At last! Some cheering news! :o)

[WKUHilltopper]

It's know as the Religion of Piece. Because they want to blow you to pieces.

[WorkerbeeCitizen]

Bwaaahaaa
And every so ofter, they add bleach to the gene pool.

[Aquinasfan]

...to clear the holy site of bombs and bomb making materials.

"Holy site" and "bombs" --two words that aren't normally associated.

[winston101smyth]

LMFAO!

Yes there is a God of Justice and he ain't Allah!

[TexasRepublic]

Allah Fubar! Piss be upon them.

[jazusamo]

Allah Fubar!

ROFL...Same thing!

[SaxxonWoods]

Darn those work accidents. Wear a hard hat next time, or call OSHA, they can help.

[FreedomPoster]

They should have exploded the bombs in place.

[Publius6961]

It is way past time we start targeting Mosques. Religion of peace my A$$

At the very least, demolish any mosque where explosives, weapons and ammunition are kept.

I reject the notion tha no one who worships or visits the damned place regularly is not aware of what's going on...

[Red Badger]

Can't remember any bomb making though.

What do you think the Chili Casserole was?........chopped liver?.......

[Red Badger]

They were giving classes on how NOT to build a bomb.......
