Ramadan Ends With 69 Blown Up in Iraq

This year's Ramadan was the most violence since 2007, with 671 people killed. Police said the deadliest of today's attacks took place when a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a residential area in the town of Tuz Khormato, 130 miles north of Baghdad, killing eight people and wounding dozens. "My shop's windows were smashed and smoke filled the whole area," says a shoe shop owner, who survived an attack near his store in New Baghdad. "I went outside of the shop and I could hardly see because of the smoke. ... At the end, we had a terrible day that was supposed to be nice because of Eid."

Those bloodthirsty Amish are at it again!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[2ndDivisionVet]

As is the ancient tradition, is it not?

[rockrr]

Nothing says Ramadingdong like everything going all ‘splody ;-)

[flaglady47]

And a good time was had by one and all.

[bray]

The religion of violence doing what it does best.

Pray for America to Wake Up

[rockrr]

They don’t call it the Religion of Pieces for nothing.

[Frank_2001]

I think they could use some anger management counseling! /s;)

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Send in more C4!!

If I'm not mistaken, our valiant Postal Service has authorized stamps to commemorate the Eid al-Fitr. I was in the Post Office a couple of years ago and asked for Christmas stamps. I was offered Muslim stamps, When I declined those, I got something from the postal clerk to the effect that "They're people, too."

I'm just wondering, in the current PC climate, how long we will be able to use actual Christmas stamps as U.S.postage.

Did not the boy in the big house say what a Lovely thing this celebration was, just today. He spoke of the Lovely tradition they had brought to America.

[Cowboy Bob]

I guess it’s better than a fireworks display to signal the end of a holiday/festival.

[ScottinVA]

Is that known as a “grand finale?”

[rawcatslyentist]

It's a religion of peace

[Wanderer99]

Sounds like the perfect Ramadan celebration!

[Drawn7979]

oh well, god bless...

[jmaroneps37]

Kind of like when they wrap up Independence Day fireworks displays with a lot of heavy stuff to close the show.

Guess they know how to party.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Eid = Ied?

[Old Sarge]

Hhmph. I would have caused a scene, knowing that the security cameras were rolling, demanding the branch manager and stating I was being discriminated against on religious grounds.

[Dave346]

Some news stories have the death toll over 80 with another 200 wounded.

[mikrofon]

Eid is “DIE,” backwards ...

[Chode]

going out with a bang...

[doug from upland]

I usually do not approve of riots and this kind of violence. This, however, is an exception. Pass the popcorn.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Insted of EID it was IED. :-)

[COBOL2Java]

Wishing you and yours a happy and joyous end to Ramadan!

“Christmas Ends With 69 Blown Up in USA”

Not ever seen.

[xp38]

We go together like
rama lama lama
ke ding a de dinga a dong
remembered for ever like
shoo bop shoo wadda wadda yipitty boom de boom

Chang chang chang-it-ty chang
shoo-bop
That’s the way it should be
Wha oooh yeah!

[hattend]

They’re all just on edge because of hypoglycemia.

The dorks don’t eat for 18 hours a day and then gorge themselves at night.

When I was over there they were passing out at the wheel at stoplights and a crashed new BMW was decorating the bridge abutments between Riyadh and Eskan Village almost daily.

Sand People are whacked!

[freebird5850]

End of Ramadan, Barry goes on vacation. Coincidence? I think not.

[Eleutheria5]

A Ramadan carol:

‘tis the season of great folly
Allahu hua alakbaar
Kill commuters on the trolly
Allahu hua alakbaar
In their mosques, discos and playgrounds
Allahu hua alakbaar
Everyone lives on our slayground
Allahu...hua...alahahahakbaar

Didn’t happen on TV. Therefore, it didn’t happen. If it did happen, it’s Bush’s fault, which is how the problem (political) is solved.

[I want the USA back]

And anyone who talks about it is called a racist.
Why is this country letting thousands of bloodthirsty subhuman savages in?

[Eleutheria5]

“Die” is “enough” in Hebrew, and “enough” backwards is pronounced “funny”.

[RedMDer]

Exactly. The libtards that I work with know so very little and don’t believe me when I mention some of these things.

I even used the analogy...
If a tree falls in the forest and its not on the evening news,
did it make sound? I think one of them got it. Another got ticked at the media when there was a news blackout on the march on Washington on Sept 12, 2009 after I showed them my pictures.

[Eleutheria5]

Tip of the iceberg, of course. So much happens that MSM news watchers are completely unaware of, it’s pathetic. The worst is when they actually believe the MSM is objective and that anything they show depicts events as they actually happened, instead of as they manipulate camera shots and audio.

[OafOfOffice]

One of Obama’s favorite holidays it seems.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says the U.S. is providing an additional $195 million in humanitarian and food aid to Syria.

That means the U.S. has now sent more than $1 billion in humanitarian aid since the 2-year-old Syrian civil war started.

Obama is timing the new aid to coincide with Eid al-Fitr (ayd ahl-FIH’-tur), a holiday marking the end of Ramadan, Islam’s holy month of fasting.

[PA-RIVER]

Mohamed gets his due

[Uncle Miltie]

Because nothing says, “Happy Ramalamadingdong!” Like flying corpses!

[Resolute Conservative]

As long as they are killing each other it is a win-win.

[theDentist]

They have the oddest ways to celebrate the end of a Holy month.

[JohnBrowdie]

nothing says devout like a few dozen dead pilgrims.

[Wuli]

contrary to popular western myths

when any Christian has done or does do anything like the events reported, which ARE based on sectarian religious
strife, there is no Christian scripture to support the
acts, contrary to what is found in Islamic scripture

[fishtank]

Happy Ramadan.
