What after the explosion at the Prophet’s Mosque?
2016-07-08
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Terrorism entered its bloodiest and most brutal phase following the recent bombing at the Prophet’s Mosque in the city of Medina. The terrorist operation was carried out a few meters away from the tomb of Prophet Mohammad. The kaboom targeted security guards, visitors, passers-by and those seeking refuge at the holy site of the Prophet’s Mosque.

When we first witnessed terrorist operations in the late 1990s, some people believed the justifications behind them. These operations first targeted Americans then Christians.

They later began to target coppers and babus government employees, and to besiege and blow up diplomatic institutions. They went as far as murdering mothers and targeting the Prophet’s Mosque. If they could, they would bomb the prophet’s tomb and blow up the Kaaba.

This escalating terrorism carries the same seeds that some justified a quarter of a century ago by resorting to excuses, such as US interference and Israel’s occupation of Paleostine. Extremist organizations ‐ al-Qaeda, the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), Hezbollah, the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU)
...that would be the Houthis, Iran's Shiite catspaws in Yemen...
‐ all serve the purpose of murder. They aim to crush people, kill them and deprive them of their dignity regardless of who they are.

The kaboom at the Prophet’s Mosque was the last fig leaf as it exposed all verbal fabrications.

To those offering justifications and describing ISIS as brothers who have wronged us, we ask them whether they have decisive stances regarding this recent dangerous escalation. Or has this tragedy against Moslems and humanity not elicited a shred of mercy or dismay in them?

#4  I believe that Islam is a political system and as such the only to beat the system is the same way that Japan and Germany were defeated in WWII - EMP the hell out of them! How about Mecca, Madina and Terran as starters.

#3  Usually, these are warning shots as a preclude to further attacks. For instance, Our Benghazi consulate was hit with a small device before the all out attack.
