FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
31ST MEU ATTACKED FROM MOSQUE; FOILS INSURGENTS' IED PLANS
CAMP RIPPER, Iraq — In a continuing effort to disrupt insurgent activities in the Al Anbar Province, elements of the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit located and destroyed numerous improvised explosive devices placed near the towns of Sa’dah and Karabilah Sunday.
As the ordnance disposal detachment was reducing the improvised explosive devices, three incoming rounds exploded near their location followed by a loud message from the Riqat Mosque in Karabilah.
As the Marines advanced to investigate the point of origin, they received small arms, machinegun, and rocket propelled grenade fire. The Marines then witnessed insurgents firing machineguns from the rooftop of the mosque and others running into the mosque with weapons.
The Marines returned fire that killed two insurgents. There were no US casualties.
Mosques are granted protective status unless they are being used for militant purposes. At that time, they lose their protective status as places of religious worship.
The 31st MEU continues to enhance security and stability to the Al Anbar Province in advance of the upcoming Iraqi elections
Amen!!
Ditto!
If one weapon is found in a mosque, the mosque should be destroyed. If two weapons are found in a mosque, two mosques should be destroyed. If three weapons are found in a mosque...well, I think you see the pattern.
All mosques should be destroyed and most of those fartsacks who hang around them along with them. The world might be a better place without any mohammedans running berserk.
Bump!!
Good work! Bump!
Remember!
There is a difference between and Islamist and a Muslim.
An Islamist wants to kill you.
A Muslim merely wants you dead.
We should level all mosques on principle.
Nope. Wipe out the enemy and leave the mosque as a reminder of our power. And while you are in it, plant listening devices.
