At least five people are dead and eight injured following an explosion near the U.S. Embassy in the Afghan capital of Kabul.

An explosion was set off at the entrance of a bank near Massoud Square Tuesday, which is an area that houses the U.S. Embassy and several other diplomatic buildings.

The attack occurred while many people were trying to withdraw money for the upcoming Muslim holiday.

While no one has yet to claim responsibility, unconfirmed reports say the explosion was set off by a suicide bomber.

A religion that kills many of its own innocent people. Now that makes it look like perfectly normal religion.

These folks are fanatic nutjobs and their religion is seriously flawed if it causes them to act in such a manner.

Massoud - that was the leader of the Northern Alliance that was assassinated by al Queda (bin laden) not long before 9-11.

I’d rather send in missionaries. Conversion is the only viable solution.

They should just change the city’s name to Kaboom.

Of course you are correct. I should have marked my post "satire" which it was. I think conversion is highly unlikely, impossible for 99% of these animals.

I say kill them all. Burn everything. Salt the earth, Carthage style. Then let Afghanistan smolder as an example to others. Leave everything incinerated: mice, men, and spotted owls.

Going the way of Lebanon. But then Lebanon was once Christian.

Afghanistan was once mostly Buddhist. Iran was Zoroastrian. The entire Middle East was once mostly Christian.

Muslims destroy everything they conquer and force Islam upon the land. Germany is next. Maybe Sweden, too.

At least in America there is a rifle behind every blade of grass or a pistol in every pocket.

Correction:

CONVERSION to room temperature is the only solution.
