Iran has been a state sponsor of terrorism for forty years. Terrorism rarely targets those who most deserve it, even in this case, but, as the feller says, ‘tis sport to have the engineer hoist on his own petard.

Manchester, London and now Tehran. I bet Iran is going to do more than hold a candlelight vigil and teddy bear memorial.

Hitler had 3 SS Division’s made up of Muslims, even ALL the officers. They were assigned to the Balkins to handle the “Final Solution”

“Not so curious, really. Iran is a seething cauldron”

That’s been my impression as well. I’m surprised this type of thing doesn’t happen a lot more often, and maybe it does and we just don’t hear about it.

“Well, this is curious...”

Not really. Muslims kill more Muslims than anyone.

An entire “faith” getting hangry all at once.

A perfect Snickers commercial. “Eat a Snickers Abdul. You’re not yourself during Ramadan!”

That was my first thought too, dressed as ISIS. But one was a suicide bomber.

"There is not, and likely shall never be, any degree of “democracy” in any Islamic state. Islam by nature is an almost hereditary hierarchy, and those in position of authority depart only feet first or dead. This is an attempt to make as many dead of the positions of power as possible. Sharia law dictates that the hierarchy is an absolute, but does not specify who shall be in power. That all relates to whoever can muscle their way in. Strong and ruthless application of authority is how even the least semblance of order is maintained.

Islam was and is the National Socialist doctrines applied with the additional authority of being backed up by a deity with bloodthirsty directives. Economically, Islam is just a primitive form of socialism, with the favored ones in a position to use the capital generated for their personal benefit."

Thanks. I'm gonna save that somewhere.

Isis is trying to start a wider Sunni vs Shia war to take the pressure off them.

Daesh is now claiming responsibility.

IIRC, that's just another name for ISIS in the islamic world, correct?
