Marines bomb Fallujah mosque
Herald Sun (AU) ^ | 07 Apr 04 | Staff

US marines pressing an offensive in this Iraqi town west of Baghdad bombed a mosque in the center of the town Wednesday and killed up to 40 insurgents inside, a marine officer said.

The attack came from a jet aircraft at a high angle to minimize the impact, the officer said.

"We wanted to kill the people inside," said Lieutenant Colonel Brennan Byrne.

"But we must be prepared for the Islamists to hit a Western church or temple."

You bet that this is going to happen! They want to turn this into a religious war, and they may well be able to do it if they start blowing churches.

Interesting, as already mentioned, they have no qualms about overunning Christian churches and killing people during worship services. I suspect a major attack against one or many churches in Italy....then at some time in the future...stateside...

So did this cause a secondary explosion that leveled the whole city?

along with the building of the Islamic Scholars' Association.

And that would be what? The pop-up trailer behind the mosque?

Reports on the local radio.

Mosque hit by bomb, as many as 40 worshippers killed.
Mistake ?

They kept on reporting that the chopper went down by enemy fire, casualties unknown.

I sent them links to 5 different threads. finally they reported correctly about the chopper.

CNN is not a news gathering organization. They should not be allowed to have press credentials.

"t the very least the IRS should revoke the tax exempt status of the Muslim "church." Once the IRS no longer recognizes Islam as a "religion," the Fed can go after these perps of hatred as a terrorist organization."

The day the government gets to pick and choose what constitutes a religion is the day I move to Mexico. For folks who care a great deal about the 2nd amendment, I see a lot of posts which look the other way when it comes to the 1st: "Cngress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion". This was the very first sentence of the bill of rights, and you'd take it away that easily? I see a lot of posts which demand protection of Christian rights, and that first sentence does that.

CNN now reporting that the Marines in Fallujah are stacking Iraqis up "like cordwood".

GOOD! As I heard someone say earlier today, it's "Chicago Rules" now. As Malone said to Elliot Ness:

They pull a knife, you pull a gun.

He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue!

That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

Looks like we're ready.

I was shocked. An email to Larry is in order. He has become a pimp for liberals and last night he simply lacked any sense of being polite. Liberals go on his show and get the velvet glove treatment. I'm signing off on this putz.

This Blog from a man in Iraq tells the true story. http://iraqataglance.blogspot.com/

Wednesday, April 07, 2004
Thieves and idiots !

Surely you’re watching what’s happening now in some neighborhoods in Iraq.. let me explain something about this militia.. ( you’ll never hear a similar explanation in any TV channel or radio stations… but this is the truth and the real picture of Muqtada’s group)..

First of all:

That angry dumb and silly boy is not respected by many religious leaders here in Iraq and consider him as a child , he don’t have the right to be a religious leader and he don’t have any ‘logical and legislative Islamic studies’ regarding Islam and ‘Sharia’..

Second.. that foolish boy has many thieves following him.. why? Do you know that neighborhood ‘ Althawra’ or ‘ Al-Sadr city’ in Baghdad? This is the worst place in Iraq.. yes .. all Iraqis hate that place and never ever reach there.. More than 75% of this neighborhood are thieves and murders .. they are responsible for the looting and robbery acts last year.. and of course due to their rapid and uncontrolled reproduction ( just like the rabbits) ,they have many relatives in some neighborhoods in Iraq, so when they felt that Muqtada is so permissive and may encourage such robberies; they followed him.. they love him.. they feel that he’s one of them and his laws are very compatible with their disgusting thoughts and mean goals..
Now we have a silly angry boy and thieves..

The third point .. many idiots still remember his father and they feel that he continues his father’s message in Islam.. the crowds are always around that boy listening to his words that incite and urge them to disobey whatever the GC and CPA say..

Now we have a silly angry boy, thieves and idiots..!
Wow.. what a group!!


I’m afraid the world will say that Iraqis don’t deserve the liberation because of those people..

Here in Basra, few Muqtada’s men are preparing themselves, hiking among the people and in front of banks and shops waiting for another looting and robbery acts and spreading rumors about the situation in other provinces.. they say that the governmental institutes are robbed and everything lost..etc..trying to breach the peace.. some of them are carrying sacks to rob the bank if their ‘leader’ will succeed and control Iraq!!

Got the picture of this militia?!

Of course there’s no one channel can interview an educated Iraqi who dares to say all of that about this militia ..
BTW I’m sure that Al-Jazeera is dancing now!



The good things are:
It’s told that the British troops came to the banks and took all the money to be kept in safe places until the chaos comes to an end..

And some districts here in Basra came to a great idea, the Sheiks of many tribes held a meeting and decided to sign on papers promising that any person dares to breach the peace in their areas will be arrested or killed immediately and no one will protect him even if he was one of their tribes.. this meeting relieved the people so much…

Nearly a similar situation happened in 1999 in ‘Al-Sadr city’ when Saddam killed Muqtada’s father.. the angry people in that disgusting neighborhood made a simple chaos in the beginning , do you know what happened ? do you know how Saddam dealt with them?... a few cars went there immediately and a few men got out of the cars carrying different types of guns and rifles and started to fire continuously at them until all those people entered their houses and many of them were killed and left on the streets… then Saddam’s men completed their mission and went back..

I don’t want to say that the same thing should be done.. but I just want to say that the GC and CPA must control this freedom because it’s used improperly..

Not one single imam has come out and condemned these fools for their terroristic actions.

Exactamundo! There is no such entity as a moderate muslim. Islam is a medieval, intolerant, dysfunctional culture/religion.

Of course the terrorists are from Iran and Syria. That's where they're hiding Saddam's WMD's.
