No, no, no. That's impossible.
Islam is a religion of peace. It wants to harm no one.
If there really were IED's found in the mosque, they were obviously planted there by US soldiers who are part of a Zionist conspiracy to discredit Islam.

So, the jihadis committed a "war crime" against their own mosque?

I think of all the activities we had in the basement of our Lutheran church...Scout meetings, bake sales, craft workshops...
Can't remember any bomb making though. Now why are they called the "Religion of Peace" again?
