At least 75 dead in Isil-claimed Baghdad suicide bombing
UK Telegraph ^ | July 3, 2016 | Agence France-Presse

Posted on 07/03/2016 1:51:16 AM PDT by Pinkbell

A suicide car bombing claimed by Isil killed at least 75 people in a Baghdad shopping district in the early hours of Sunday, officials said, the deadliest single attack in the capital this year.

The blast, which ripped through a street in the Karrada area where many people go to shop ahead of the holiday marking the end of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, also wounded more than 130 people, security and medical officials said.

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) issued a statement claiming the suicide car bombing, saying it was carried out by an Iraqi as part of the group's "ongoing security operations".

The jihadist group said the bombing targeted members of Iraq's Shia Muslim majority, whom it considers heretics and frequently attacks in Baghdad and elsewhere.

The bombing came a week after Iraqi forces completely recaptured Fallujah, a city 50 kilometres (30 miles) west of Baghdad that was a key Isil stronghold.

Rama Lama Ding Dong ends Tuesday. Perhaps these merchants of death will ease up after that.

Just to be safe......stay locked and loaded

Obama and the generals pushing the new trans gender policy can't be bothered by fighting the “few bad apples” they claim are responsible for throwing the world into chaos.

“This crap will continue UNTIL we start targeting the entire family of these killers.”

A huge change the Founding Fathers made was that debts and crimes by the father could not be held against the family. While I understand the logic of what you say it won’t fly politically here. How many people have a mentally disturbed family member here? Probably lots. Should the rest of the family be held accountable?

I don’t know if it is still Israeli policy, but they used to demolish the family home of Jihadists to remove incentive and create some family pressure not to commit murder. This policy was partially undone by people, like Saddam Hussein, giving much more money to the family than the home cost.

One solution for us is to control our borders and not allow them here. If they aren’t here they won’t be taking school children hostage. (I fully expect that will happen here. We are living in the equivalent of the phony war in World War II. The war had started elsewhere but hadn’t yet got to England so everybody relaxed and went back to business as usual. We’ve been in this phony war since 911.)

This seems to be desperation from ISIS, they are losing land, recruits and so on.

it is one thing to have a,”mentally disturbed “, person in ones family. It is quite another to have these killers indoctrinated by radical mosques then to go out and kill.
That is a taught action and actions should have consequences.
These families know their people are in to killing infidels.
They support em.
Kill em and make it known that they will pay a price.

moslem on moslem violence should be encouraged. And this incident is only the one with the most dead THIS YEAR. It never has stopped in Iraq since we left.

And during Ramadan. The Ramadan bombathon. Another proud moment for moslems everywhere. They have a lot to be proud of.

muzzies celebrating their holy month of fasting, praying, devotion, bombing, burning, shooting and neck slicing.
Our fearless leader will be celebrating the end of ramadmamdingdong with them. Instead of kicking them all out.

You are 100% correct! Mosques are temples to Satan. We should not have temples to Satan within our country.

Obama does nothing about the main enemy of our nation, because ISIS has him by the short hairs.

We need to load cargo planes with muslims from the U.S. and drop the human cargo out half way across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean. Muslims want to die for allah, so let’s assist them.

This is merely moozlums being moozlums. These uncivilized subhumans need to be kept from civilization. According to their “religion” they want you and your family to submit or to be murdered. Typical moozlum uncivilized behavior.

Bombings so routine in ObamaWorld they are now ignored by the media. Not a mention of the Baghdad bombing on cable TV and I’ll be watching for the last two hours.

Kind of a waste of time isn’t it?
