Bombing in shia mosque

The short term approach is to defeat this fitnah through the use of force. Long term approach is to stop the extremist clerics from spreading the violence through khutbahs, and also by telling people the true teachings of Islam, which are being hijacked by these advocates of Evil.

The bombing at the Buratha mosque, which killed at least 13 and wounded 28, came during a four-hour midday curfew that the government imposed specifically to stop attacks on mosques.

The curfew is part of al-Maliki’s security plan, which also includes sending thousands of Iraqi and coalition forces into Baghdad’s streets to man checkpoints and target hot areas.

There were six police checkpoints leading to the mosque Friday.

Buratha’s imam, a leading Shiite politician, blamed al-Qaida in Iraq for the attack. He said the terror group was trying to reassert itself after the death of its leader in a U.S. airstrike last week.

“Al-Qaida is trying to restore some respect after the killing of the terror leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi by targeting one of the leading Shiite clerics, but they will fail,” said the imam, Jalal Eddin al-Sagheer.

CIVILIAN CASUALTIES BY NEW ZARQAWI RAHMATULLAH:

Baghdad’s Haraj and Kazimiya markets were both targeted, causing many civilian casualties.

Security checkpoints in Mahmudiya, a town 30km (20 miles) south of Baghdad, and in Baghdad’s Karrada district, were also hit - with many of the casualties reported to be civilians.

Others died when a device, possibly a roadside bomb, hit a bus in the al-Amin district of the city.

Re: Bombing in shia mosque

This is not mindless sectarian violence. This is a very cold, rational, almost athietsitcal strategy of sewing discord among the Iraqis by creating inter-communal conflict.

This is much worse than bigotry. This is engineering hate for a poltiical goal.

So in the long run, you need a proper counter strategy and that will almost neccessarily involve security aparatus like secret police or what not.

**Blast kills 66 in Baghdad Shiite district **

By ROBERT H. REID

BAGHDAD, Iraq - A huge car bomb exploded Saturday at a bustling outdoor market in a Shiite district of Baghdad, killing at least 66 people and injuring about 100 in the deadliest attack since the new national unity government took office six weeks ago.

Shortly before the midmorning blast, gunmen seized a female Sunni legislator at a checkpoint in a Shiite area of the capital. Both attacks represented a major challenge to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s vow to curb sectarian violence that threatens to plunge Iraq into civil war.


When will stupidity end? When will Muslims stop killing each other?
