BAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A suicide bombing outside one of Islam's holiest sites killed four Saudi security forces on Monday, and similar attacks outside a Shiite mosque and a U.S. Consulate in two other Saudi cities raised fears of a coordinated assault aimed at destabilizing the Western-allied kingdom.

The Interior Ministry said five others were wounded in the attack outside the sprawling mosque grounds where the Prophet Muhammad is buried in Medina. Millions of Muslims from around the world visit the mosque every year as part of their pilgrimage to Mecca.

...

No group has yet claimed responsibility for any of the attacks.

There are no HOLY sites in Islam. Islamist worship al-Lah who is Satan. All their important sites are UNHOLY.

You'd think ISIS terrorists would NOT target the holiest of Islamic cities like Mecca, Medina, Qom or Mashhad.

I believe there is a moslem sect that wants to destroy all the moslem historic sites and locations as they are considered “Idolatry”. Don’t know about Mecca though.

Probably some unhappy Amish just trying to cause some havoc. Or it could be some of those Quaker people. It has to be some religious group. It is in a holy town. Wonder which one is behind all of this. The FBI needs to check this trend out. Wonder if the White House has sent people to the Amish folks in Intercourse Pennsylvania to invetigate. This could be stopped if we just could get the Amish to stop making war.

Well, Islam itself has been a more or less loose or tight congeries of evil, waiting to produce tragedies. While it can live in relative peace, this is an unstable condition for it. So I don’t know about perversions of Islam, this is just Islam at a certain point in its life (death?) cycle.

I’m surprised there has been so LITTLE trouble at Mecca. Things could get far more interesting, up to an utter denial of access to Mecca, whereupon Islam would really get its hair on fire.

been propagated by the Saudi

And all the world govts have been doing backflips to empower them.

The masons don't use the scimitar and star logo because they think they look cool. More fingerprints of satan as he squeezes the life outta God's children.
