Violence has been on the rise across Iraq since a deadly crackdown by government forces on a Sunni protest camp in April, and attacks against civilians and security forces notably spiked during Ramadan. The surge of attacks has sparked fears that the country could spiral into a new round of widespread sectarian bloodshed similar to that which brought the country to the edge of civil war in 2006 and 2007.

In the holy Shiite city of Karbala, police said four people were killed in a car bomb attack near a cafe at night. Karbala is 80 kilometres (50 miles) south of Baghdad.

Police said four people were killed and 15 wounded when a car bomb exploded near a cafe in Baghdad’s Shiite neighbourhood of Abu Dashir.

In northern Baghdad, a car bomb hit a restaurant in the Shiite area of Khazimiyah, killing five people and wounding 14, authorities said. Police also said that five people were killed when a car bomb exploded near a cafe in Baghdad’s southwestern neighbourhood of Baiyaa.

The Great Divider doesn't seem at all concerned about any of this.

Does anyone here know: Was the mosque Hussein attended as a child in Indonesia Sunni?

Ah yes, all over the world, Muslims celebrating Id el Fitir (spelling?) by blowing each other up, in their mosques, markets, anywhere really...

Ah, the joys of Islam as the religion of pieces...

And I like to read stories about the Iraqi’s doing such a good job on themselves.

[Standing Wolf]

Hmmm. I guess that nation building didn’t work out very well, after all.

Darwinism at work Inshalla.

Ramadan - the gift that keeps on giving ...

Take a lesson from this.
The US should never again put troops or anyone else on Arab grounds.

Problem ?
We have nuke missile submarines don’t we ?

[bgill]

That’s nothing. They’re still lagging behind Chicago’s killings.

[BenLurkin]

The problem is that the British have nuclear missile subs — and Britain is being conquered by the Muslims.

[bigheadfred]

well we have secret underground nuclear sub bases in afghanistan

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I wonder if the Brits would allow a Muzzie within 100 yards of their subs...
I've known two or three Limey Navy guys. They don't seem in any mood to be tolerant of multiculturalism. Unfortunately, that's not the case in the US.

Nation demolition maybe but it is not fair. America was doing a great job until Al-Qaeida saw BHO elected in America. Now it ramps up the pressure to cause havoc there. The US under Obama is on the retreat on every single front both domestic and foreign...

[BenLurkin]

Wow. Those must be some loooong tunnels

[piytar]

Religion of Pieces. Why would the oMullah in Chief be concerned?

[BenLurkin]

I think he is backing the Sunnis all the way, and all across the globe.

He has dragged America into his own personal internecine conflict with the Shias.
