Mosques In The Sky

From the Return of Scipio:

As American troops pullback in Iraq, Islamic killers move in.

Six days before U.S. combat forces are due to withdraw from major Iraqi cities, a bomb hidden under vegetables on a three-wheeled motorcycle killed at least 60 people and wounded 135 more in Sadr City, a densely populated Shiite Muslim slum in the Iraqi capital.

And this.

At least 25 civilians were killed and more than 75 were wounded when a bomb in a parked car detonated early Wednesday inside a marketplace in a small southern Iraqi town, medical officials said.

Another day, another day of internecine Muslim slaughter in Iraq. To put things in perspective, if a proportionate mass killing had occurred in the US, it would equal 2000 American dead. Pundits and academics and scribblers of every kind will write millions of words trying to explain these killings. Some will blame Iran. Some will blame Al-Qaeda. Some will blame Bush. Yet such things happen regularly in Iraq and in almost every nation where Mohammed hangs his ragged turban. Muslim killing Muslim began when Islam began. It will end when the last two Muslims strangle each other with their own intestines.

Truth be told, Islam is not particular about whom it kills. The killing fields of Islam have seen the murder of Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, pagans, atheists, Zoroastrians—really, anyone will do, in a pinch even Rosicrucians. The killing is the thing—the only thing.

And the result of all of this mayhem is…well, nothing. No Muslim life has been bettered, no Muslim nation’s GDP has increased, no deeper understanding of Islam has emerged, no new invention except the suicide bomb has come out of these oceans of blood. Wherever one goes in what B. Hussein Obama calls “the world of Islam” one finds poverty, tyranny, Jew hatred, misogyny and terror. One does not find anything remotely resembling the Declaration of Independence, The Wealth of Nations, Summa Theologica or The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.

The obvious conclusion to those with eyes is that the majority of Muslim lands are filled with soap-deprived and illiterate barbarians.

Read the rest.
