Sunni fighters launch war of terror in Damascus and Baghdad
DEBKA File ^ | 23 DEC 2011 | DEBKA

Posted on 12/23/2011 4:02:33 AM PST by BCW

The Sunni Muslim war on the Shiite-Allawite ruler of Syria and the Shiite-led regime of Iraq has gained deadly momentum in the last 48 hours, debkafile's military sources report. Friday, Dec. 23, two suicide bombers blew up cars loaded with explosives at the Syrian state security building and intelligence center in the heart of Damascus, killing at least 40 military personnel and civilians, and injuring dozens more. It was the first such attack to take place in the Syrian capital in the 10-month uprising against Bashar Assad.

In Baghdad, Thursday, more than 70 people died and at least 200 were badly hurt by a series of roadside bombs, an exploding ambulance and sticky bombs. Most were directed against Shiite targets.

I think the only way to stop this violence is for someone to go over and appeal to the humanity of these people. I nominate the Peace Prize President.

Oh yes...this is why their argument o”once the world is under Islam - there will be peace.” That mindset is bogus and flawed - and situations that occurred in Baghdad yesterday - and what has been transpiring in Egypt and Libya - demonstrate that ISLAM will never be at peace with anyone - not even within their own house.

Any govt working towards a common understanding with a stated goal that mutual cooperation will benefit all parties is delusional.

I think you’ll agree...and please check out my reports and pass the info along...the more we study them - the more we will understand their intentions and targets!

Merry Christmas!

I suspect this will touch off Hama-like massacres. Syria’s non-Sunni/-Arab population (Alawites, Shiites, Christians, Kurds) is now literally fighting for its life. If they don’t hang together, they will most assuredly have their heads chopped off separately.

This is exactly what the Sunni and Shia did in Iraq. With Saddam removed, the power vacuum had to be filled - and it wasn’t through “free” elections - it was with violence and murder...and it’s still continuing at this very moment despite our pullout...

That’s the nature of Islam

This would’ve happened regardless of whether the US was in Iraq for 1 day, 10 years...or 100 years.

US military presence in Iraq was just a temporary (porous) firewall. With the US gone, the mooslims are free to do what they’ve always done...kill each other.

I would like to think that and share your joy, but if one side definitively wins, that's going to spell trouble for everybody.

My granddad invested in a huge peanut butter farm.

It was quite a spread.

No no, let me:
