#6  It wouldn't be surprising if this happened. The Taliban declare that soccer is "un-islamic", the IRC in Somalia declared soccer was "un-islamic" and shot people that were merely watching it. A-Q in Iraq have killed at least one soccer coach.

I remember one thing Jesus preached that condemns Islam for all eternity - He said that "whatever is done to one of these, is done also to me". Islam is a satanic death cult that needs to be weeded out and totally eradicated.

#5  U.S. disputes report that 18 kids killed in blast
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Police and Iraqi state television said a car bomb exploded Tuesday near a park popular with young soccer players, killing at least 18 boys in Ramadi, a city west of Baghdad.

However, the U.S. military said 30 civilians and one Iraqi soldier were injured in a “controlled detonation” of explosives southeast of Ramadi but there were no deaths. The military routinely blows up captured weapons and ammunition.

#3  I think we need the Orc photo on this one. What incredible barbarity. They pulled this shit in Mosul a couple of years ago when they rammed a car bomb into a group of kids getting candy from US soldiers. It had the effect of having the locals turn on them and support the US. One can only hope this has the same results.
My condolences to the families of these kids. The bomber is getting his as this is written and will for all eternity.

#2  How holy is that? Are you demonrats telling me that we ought to just let this evil go unchecked and it will all go away? I don't care how many "jahidis" pop up. It is like wack-a-mole. You wack until they stop popping up or you lose the game and the moles take over everything. They have a 20 year plan for this kind of action while you in the congress have barely a year of planning on your table. How worthless the leglislative branch has become.
