Let's ramdomly open up a Koran to see what violence is found on that page.
page 391
He forgives whom He pleases, and punishs whom He pleases.
Lets do another one.
page 51
They are the heirs of the fire, and there they will remain.
One more time.
page 145
God will cause their ridicule to rebound on them, they shall have a painful punishment.
I gotta tell ya, how in the hell could anyone not get this? Punishment PUNISHMENT KILL FIRE CHOP BURN....my God. This really is incredible how anyone wouldn't understand this.
Hell, one more page.
page 209
....and warns those who deny the life to come with grievous punishment.
On page one in talking about the Quran, we read....
The main themes of the Quran are enlightenment, closeness to God, peace and spirituality.
Are you kidding me?
I wonder how many times we read that word...punishment ...in the Koran? Then add....fire, burn, chop, kill.

Lol no. Your question is stupid and gets away from my point. We agree that fundamental Islam is used to justify terror.
The point I'm making is that the Bible is just as usable to justify violence as the Koran.
And you still have no answer as to what to do about Islam itself other than copy paste walls of worthless stats
We also agree that the Bible is just as usable to justify violence as the Koran. The point I'm making is that the Koran is actually used much more often to justify violence than the Bible. Do you agree with that statement?

Why do you think Islam is used to justify violence at a rate significantly higher than any other religion, such as Christianity, even though both religions "could" be used to justify it?

Let me ask you this. Why do you think Islam is used to justify violence at a rate significantly higher than any other religion, such as Christianity, even though both religions "could" be used to justify it?
Terrorism's source is 3rd world, war torn countries where the dominant religion is Islam. Many of those areas didn't necessarily become 3rd world as a result of Muslim dominance directly, but most have turned to a radicalized form of Islam as a reaction to their poverty. From a recruiting standpoint, it makes much more sense for these radical groups to appeal to someone's Muslim faith than to use a minority faith.
Tribalism is common for poor and uneducated people. In areas of extreme North American poverty, this manifests itself in gang membership. Many violent criminals define identity based on gangs or cartels (worth noting that many of them attend Christian church services, but we don't often dig into the religion/church attendance past of violent criminals who aren't Muslim.) Association with gangs gives them identity and a perceived sense of power, and "code" gives them direction.
No one can argue that both faiths are used to radicalize criminals equally. But turning this fact into suspicion towards all followers of Islam is just more lowbrow tribalism. Most radical Islamic terrorists, particularly in the states, were not radicalized by typical places of Muslim fellowship or worship like their local mosque.

It's real easy to see that the Koran was all about Mohammad, not Allah.
So many times we read....
He ordains life and death, so believe in God and his messenger.
Also for those who follow the messenger, the unlettered prophet.....

My point in that aside was mainly we tend to assume all violence by Muslims is motivated by their faith. If a murdered attended a mosque this becomes much more of a news story than if a gang-affiliated killer was a regular Sunday church-goer.
And let's not pretend Muslim countries are the only 3rd world countries with poverty and general socioeconomic issues.

Reality is stating the fact that the Orlando shooter proclaimed allegiance to the IS. Xenophobia is suggesting that anyone who practices Islam should be suspect or accountable as a result. If you don't think a massive amount of antagonism happens towards Muslims every time a Muslim is implicated in a major crime, you must not have Internet access.

islam's apex coincides with the regions most prosperous time. make <insert tribal identity here> great again is a good line, and for people in those countries that means going hard to islam. Its kind of disturbing though that the most secular leaders in the region have regularly been deposed/disposed by western powers in favor of religious nuts.
comparing with south america is asinine. we've been assimilated to the west for hundreds of years, but when shit was going down there were terrorist groups fighting back, attacking embassies, etc. If the US had drones/cruise missiles bombing people in south america every 3 months for over 20 years then you can make the comparison.
where are all the muslim terrorist malaysians and indians and cameroonians? oh thats right their neighborhoods arent bombed regularly, where does terrorism come from? an eye for an eye, once blood is spilled the taste for revenge is what can turn a muslim, christian, atheist, rich, poor whatever into a terrorist. a lot of these guys are 2nd, 3rd generation immigrants, but they still have family over there. they here stories of all the shit thats gone down. and they see the contempt and disrespect westerners have towards their culture. americans love to talk shit, right after 9/11, shock and awe, blast them to the stone age etc. and here we are now, on the next cycle.
in those months after 9/11 a bunch of people i knew who werent even muslims got harassed, in fights, and a couple who actually were muslim got detained for weeks for no reason. if people are going to insist on profiling as the means to stop terrorism, can we at least be accurate and profile the place these dudes come from instead of their religion? because your aim would improve by about 70% with that filter.
this is like when people say marijuana is a gateway drug. just because 90% of X did Y, doesnt mean 90% of Y did X.

The source texts of both religions were written 2000+ years ago. If your argument is that Christianity can't be used to justify violence, examples from hundreds of years ago are relevant as a rebuttal. Examples don't have to be "current." The source religious texts haven't changed. Interpretations and sociopolitical environments in the places where these religions are dominant have.

false. islam, muhammad, the quran are all roughly 1500 years old

it isn't. i never said that.

Modern day radical Islam started after 1979 with the Iranian Revolution which led to the Saudis becoming more hardliners as well. Iran directly involved itself against Israel, created Hezbollah and helped start a civil war in Lebanon while the Saudis were paying for foreign fighters to go into Afghanistan to fight the Soviets as well as building madrasas in Pakistan which helped teach and create the Taliban in the early 90s. Once the Soviets were out of the picture, the U.S. became the target of the Al-Qaeda types in the 90s during the Gulf War when the U.S were stationed in Saudi Arabia and fighting against a soverign "Muslim" country even though that country invaded another "Muslim" country before that. Back to the Iranians, they were already targeting the U.S. in the 80s using their proxies in Lebanon whether it was bombings or kidnappings.
The tide was turning against the radical groups after 9/11 until the Iraq war created destabilization in the region as well as helping Iran by removing a hated enemy in Saddam and instead placing a new Shia gov't.

The problem is when attacking Islam, you're painting a broad brush even though the religion is practiced in so many different ways with different sects/groups. Better to focus on the radical ones who use other sources outside of the Quran like the thousands of Hadiths compiled centuries after the religion was founded.

Muslim cleric killed, second man wounded in New York shooting: reports
A Muslim imam was killed and a second man was critically wounded on Saturday while walking home from afternoon prayers at a mosque in the New York City borough of Queens, according to media reports that cited witnesses to the shooting.
Tiffany Phillips, a spokeswoman for the New York Police Department, confirmed that two men in their 50's were shot on a street in the Ozone Park section of Queens.
One of them was killed and the second was gravely wounded, but Phillips declined to provide any more information about their identities.
Police have yet to identify a suspect and the motive was still unknown, she said.
The shooting took place at about 2 p.m. EDT (02:00 p.m. EDT) two blocks from the Al-Furqan Jame Masjid Mosque, where the two men had worshiped, New York's NBC television reported. The iman was killed and the second man was wounded, it said on its website.

'Islam for Dummies': IS recruits have poor grasp of faith
By AYA BATRAWY (http://bigstory.ap.org/content/aya-batrawy), PAISLEY DODDS (http://bigstory.ap.org/content/paisley-dodds) and LORI HINNANT (http://bigstory.ap.org/author/lori-hinnant)
Aug. 15, 2016 4:13 PM EDT
The jihadi employment form asked the recruits, on a scale of 1 to 3, to rate their knowledge of Islam. And the Islamic State applicants, herded into a hangar somewhere at the Syria-Turkey border, turned out to be overwhelmingly ignorant.
The extremist group could hardly have hoped for better.
At the height of Islamic State's drive for foot soldiers in 2013 and 2014, typical recruits included the group of Frenchmen who went bar-hopping with their recruiter back home, the recent European convert who now hesitantly describes himself as gay, and two Britons who ordered "The Koran for Dummies" and "Islam for Dummies" :lmao from Amazon to prepare for jihad abroad. Their intake process complete, they were grouped in safe houses as a stream of Islamic State imams came in to indoctrinate them, according to court testimony and interviews by The Associated Press.
"I realized that I was in the wrong place when they began to ask me questions on these forms like 'when you die, who should we call?'" said the 32-year-old European recruit, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals. He said he thought he was joining a group to fight President Bashar Assad and help Syrians, not the Islamic State.
The European, whose boyish demeanor makes him appear far younger than his age, went to Syria in 2014. He said new recruits were shown IS propaganda videos on Islam, and the visiting imams repeatedly praised martyrdom. Far from home, unschooled in religion, having severed family ties and turned over electronic devices, most were in little position to judge.
An AP analysis of thousands of leaked Islamic State documents reveals most of its recruits from its earliest days came with only the most basic knowledge of Islam. A little more than 3,000 of these documents included the recruits' knowledge of Shariah, the system that interprets into law verses from the Quran and "hadith" — the sayings and actions of the Prophet Muhammad.
According to the documents, which were acquired by the Syrian opposition site Zaman al-Wasl and shared with the AP, 70 percent of recruits were listed as having just "basic" knowledge of Shariah — the lowest possible choice. Around 24 percent were categorized as having an "intermediate" knowledge, with just 5 percent considered advanced students of Islam. Five recruits were listed as having memorized the Quran. :lol
The findings address one of the most troubling questions about IS recruitment in the United States and Europe: Are disaffected people who understand Shariah more prone to radicalization? Or are those with little knowledge of Islam more susceptible to the group's radical ideas that promote violence?
The documents suggest the latter. The group preys on this religious ignorance, allowing extremists to impose a brand of Islam constructed to suit its goal of maximum territorial expansion and carnage as soon as recruits come under its sway.
Islamic State's most notorious new supporters appear to have an equally tenuous link with religion. Mohamed Lahouaiyej Bouhlel, who killed 85 people by plowing a truck into a Bastille Day crowd in Nice, France, was described by family and neighbors as indifferent to religion, volatile and prone to drinking sprees, with a bent for salsa dancing and a reported male lover.
Unlike Omar Mateen, the Orlando attacker, Bouhlel did not make a public declaration of allegiance to Islamic State, much less prove he had direct ties to extremists in the war zone. Still, the group was quick to claim both as foot soldiers.
___
The AP analyzed the IS entry form documents of around 4,030 foreign recruits who crossed into Syria when the group was rapidly expanding and seizing territory in Iraq and Syria in 2013 and 2014. At that time, the CIA estimated the extremist group had between 20,000 and 31,500 fighters across Iraq and Syria.
Among the documents were forms for nine of 10 young men from the eastern French city of Strasbourg, all recruited by a man named Mourad Fares. One of them, Karim Mohammad-Aggad, described barhopping in Germany with Fares. He told investigators that IS recruiters used "smooth talk" to persuade him.
He'd traveled with his younger brother and friends to Syria in late 2013. Two died in Syria, and within a few months, seven returned to France and were arrested. Mohammad-Aggad's brother, 23-year-old Foued, returned to Paris and was one of the three men who stormed the Bataclan in a night of attacks Nov. 13 that killed 130 people.
"My religious beliefs had nothing to do with my departure," Karim Mohammad-Aggad told the court, before being sentenced to nine years in prison. "Islam was used to trap me like a wolf," he said.
IS data shows Karim and his brother Foued were among eight in the Strasbourg group listed as having "basic" knowledge of Sharia.
Expressing a common sentiment shared by many Europeans of North African descent, Mohammed-Aggad told the court he felt like an immigrant in Algeria and "a dirty Arab" in France. After just a few months in Syria, he said he left IS because he was treated by the extremists as an "apostate" — someone who had renounced his religion.
When pressed by the judge on his knowledge of Shariah and how the IS group implements it, Mohammad-Aggad, a former gas station attendant, appeared dumbfounded, saying repeatedly: "I don't have the knowledge to answer the question."
One of his co-defendants, Radouane Taher, was also pressed by the judge on whether beheadings carried out by the IS group conformed to Islamic law.
He couldn't say for sure, answering: "I don't have the credentials."
That's where Amazon comes in.
The trial of longtime friends Mohammed Ahmed and Yusuf Sarwar, from the British city of Birmingham, revealed the 22-year-olds had ordered "The Koran for Dummies" and "Islam for Dummies" books in preparation for their trip to join extremists in Syria. They were arrested on their return to Britain and convicted in 2014 of terrorism offenses.
Patrick Skinner, a former CIA case officer with extensive experience with Mideast extremist organizations, said some people claim allegiance to IS out of religious belief, but that most who join, including those from the West, are people "reaching for a sense of belonging, a sense of notoriety, a sense of excitement."
"Religion is an afterthought," said Skinner, who is also director of special projects at security consultancy the Soufan Group.
Those who truly crave religious immersion would go to Al-Azhar in Cairo, he added, referring to the thousand-year-old seat of learning for Shariah and Quranic studies.
In its recent English language magazine Dabiq, dedicated largely to bolstering its own Muslim credentials, Islamic State dismissed Al-Azhar as part of an "approach to subdue Muslims through appeasement," with the West.
Mohammed Abdelfadel, an Islamic scholar who heads a German-language unit at Al-Azhar that tracks Islamic State propaganda and statements, said the group spews superficial notions about what is "halal and haram," or what is permissible and forbidden in Islam. He says the group's propaganda videos lionize IS fighters as masculine, strong martyrs going to heaven for the sake of God — counter to Islamic laws that forbid terrorism, the murder of non-combatants in war, the imposition of Islam on non-Muslims and other criminal activity.
____
The recruits' Shariah knowledge is important because IS not only needs soldiers and suicide bombers, but administrators and Shariah officials to oversee its local courts and judges, who in turn promote IS ideology.
It also matters because those who've claimed advanced knowledge in Shariah on the IS entry documents were less likely to want to become suicide bombers, according to a study by the U.S. military's Combating Terrorism Center, an academic institution at the United States Military Academy.
"If martyrdom is seen as the highest religious calling, then a reasonable expectation would be that the people with the most knowledge about Islamic law (Shariah) would desire to carry out these operations with greater frequency," said the report.
However, despite the religious justification that IS uses for suicide missions, "those with the most religious knowledge within the organization itself are the least likely to volunteer to be suicide bombers," the study found.
Islamic scholar Tariq Ramadan said a close look at the IS group's top commanders shows that many had no religious credentials but, instead, they once held senior positions under Saddam Hussein's secular Baathist government.
Ramadan teaches Islamic Studies at Oxford and has written numerous books on Islam and the integration of Muslims in Europe. He says Muslim scholars must demonstrate that what IS teaches is wrong.
"The people who are doing this are not experiencing martyrdom, they are criminals. They are killing innocent people. Nothing in Islam, nothing ever can justify the killing of innocent people, never, ever."
The gay European recruit said he converted to Islam because he was interested in the culture and it was easy.
"It only required one prayer and no prior understanding of Islam," he said. "There was no hierarchy and it was all about living a good life."
As a convert with almost no knowledge in Islam, he says he was easy prey.
"People like me were tricked into something that they didn't understand. I never meant to end up with IS."

Radical cleric Anjem Choudary guilty of inviting IS support
One of the UK's most notorious radical clerics has been convicted of inviting others to support the so-called Islamic State, it can now be reported.
Police said Anjem Choudary, 49, had stayed "just within the law" for years, but was arrested in 2014 after pledging allegiance to the militant group.
Many people tried for serious terror offences were influenced by his lectures and speeches, police said.
Choudary was convicted alongside confidant Mohammed Mizanur Rahman.
Counter-terrorism chiefs have spent almost 20 years trying to bring Choudary, a father of five, to trial, blaming him, and the proscribed organisations which he helped to run, for radicalising young men and women.
Both men were charged with one offence of inviting support for IS - which is contrary to section 12 of the Terrorism Act 2000 (http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2000/11/section/12) - between 29 June 2014 and 6 March 2015.

You are only capable of seeing your own side. Im atheist, but I can imagine how they see it. Your perception of what is an atrocity and who it is done for is not the only one.

In X amount of months, another leak will come out and we'll find out that in the past year hundreds of drone strikes have killed upwards of 100 civilians, is that an atrocity or not? Is it their fault for being there? Those 160 children killed in Pakistan alone, 2006-2011, should have wised up and left the country?
The jihadists kill 10 people in a shooting and make sure everyone seed and they get their "credit". The US bombs whoever they want from far away and hides behind national security and media mouthpieces about collateral damage.

I would venture to say that the victims and the majority of their fellow citizens believe the answer to both of those questions is "yes".
Politicians constantly talk about the US as a "Christian Nation". Bush said God told him to invade Iraq and Afghanistan. One of the top US Generals said "As a Christian, I believe that there is a spiritual war that is continuous as articulated in the Bible. It is not confined to the war of terrorism".
The sheer volume of innocents killed in our freedom bombs and the inevitable "collateral damage" they cause would lead them to infer that, if not intentionally attacking civilians, at the minimum complete disregard for them. Add in "signature strikes", repeated bombing of wedding parties and hostpitals, "double tap" strikes, yeah, I could see how they would think we target innocents.

One of the top US Generals said "As a Christian, I believe that there is a spiritual war that is continuous as articulated in the Bible. It is not confined to the war of terrorism".
The sheer volume of innocents killed in our freedom bombs and the inevitable "collateral damage" they cause would lead them to infer that, if not intentionally attacking civilians, at the minimum complete disregard for them. Add in "signature strikes", repeated bombing of wedding parties and hostpitals, "double tap" strikes, yeah, I could see how they would think we target innocents.
Bush was also adamant that we were not at war with Islam or any religion

The current strikes are not religious motivation, but the war in Iraq was a clear Judeo-Christian assault on a soverign Muslim nation with no just cause.

You could just as easily have jeebotard murderous crusaders who have misguided religious motives. That doesn't mean I'd "blame Christianity." I'd blame the practitioners, as I am doing now.

Man’s ‘unusual fixation’ with Lebanese neighbors led to killing, Tulsa police say
By Michael E. Miller (http://www.washingtonpost.com/people/michael-e-miller)August 16
Khalid Jabara was worried.
Last year, his mother had been jogging through the family’s quiet Tulsa neighborhood when she was nearly killed in a vicious hit-and-run. Police quickly arrested Vernon Majors, who, according to a police report, confessed to the crime and even offered a motive, calling the Jabaras “filthy Lebanese.”
On May 25 of this year, however, Majors bonded out of jail.
That’s when he returned home — right next to the Jabaras.
On Friday, Khalid learned that his next-door neighbor, the man accused of harassing his family and attacking his mother, was now armed.
“Khalid called the police stating this man had a gun and that he was scared for what might happen,” his sister, Victoria Jabara Williams, wrote on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/victoria.jabara/posts/10153714908035906). “The police came and told him there was nothing to be done.”
Minutes later, Khalid was talking on the phone with his mother when he stepped outside to get the mail.
Majors was waiting for him, police say.
The 61-year-old opened fire, fatally wounding the 37-year-old Khalid, according to police.
“This certainly is a tragedy … but this is not a whodunit,” Tulsa Police Sgt. Dave Walker told The Washington Post, citing one eyewitness account as well as the history of problems between Majors and his Lebanese neighbors.
What is a mystery, at least to the Jabara family, is why Majors was released from jail 10 weeks ago.
...
“He repeatedly attacked our ethnicity and perceived religion, making racist comments,” Victoria Jabara Williams wrote on Facebook. “He often called us ‘dirty Arabs,’ ‘filthy Lebanese,’ ‘Aye-rabs,’ and ‘Mooslems.’ ”

wow, intellectual dishonesty, if religion isnt the problem why do you insist on your little thesis that more atrocities in the name of god islamists outnumber (even) more atrocities not so explicitly in the name of god?
again, where are they from? The US generously "bringing democracy" actually brought death, on a far larger scale than any jihadi since OBL. That is why your terrorists are all connected to those regions. The recruits want revenge, thats why you dont have people from mali or senegal, despite being very muslim countries. Your media tells you they're the bad guys, theirs tell them you're the bad guys. The same way you paint all muslims with the same brush, they paint all westerners with the same brush. But according to you, its not all the blood spilled in an illegal, universally condemned war by 95% of the planet that is radicalizing a tiny percent of muslims, its just being muslim by itself- afterall they produce more extremists, MY atrocity counter said so :rolleyes.

Tons and tons and tons of....
Quran (2:216) (http://www.spurstalk.com/quran/noble/sura2.html#216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." Not only does this verse establish that violence can be virtuous, but it also contradicts the myth that fighting is intended only in self-defense, since the audience was obviously not under attack at the time. From the Hadith, we know that this verse was narrated at a time that Muhammad was actually trying to motivate his people into raiding merchant caravans (http://www.spurstalk.com/pages/muhammad/raid-caravans.aspx) for loot.
Quran (3:56) (http://www.spurstalk.com/quran/noble/sura3.html#56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help."
Quran (3:151) (http://www.spurstalk.com/quran/noble/sura3.html#151) - "Soon shall We cast terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers, for that they joined companions with Allah, for which He had sent no authority". This speaks directly of polytheists, yet it also includes Christians, since they believe in the Trinity (ie. what Muhammad incorrectly believed to be 'joining companions to Allah').
Quran (4:74) (http://www.spurstalk.com/quran/noble/sura4.html#74) - "Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward." The martyrs of Islam are unlike the early Christians, who were led meekly to the slaughter. These Muslims are killed in battle as they attempt to inflict death and destruction for the cause of Allah. This is the theological basis for today's suicide bombers.

The tangential fact that they are Christian isn't relevant there, though. If their being Christian led to their bombings, it would be different. Motive, etc. Otherwise you can keep any arbitrary tally like "how many shootings are done by people named Steve" or "how many murderers have facial hair."

U.S.-backed Saudi coalition bombs Yemen school, killing 10 children, wounding 28
MSF, UNICEF say U.S.-armed Saudi-led coalition bombed Yemeni students, days after killing 18 civilians at a market
BEN NORTON (http://www.salon.com/writer/ben_norton/)
At least 10 children were killed and another 28 were injured in the bombing of a school in Yemen on Saturday.
Locals and officials say the attack was carried out by the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition, which has been conducting a brutal bombing campaign in Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, since March 2015.
International medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders says a medical center it runs received people who were killed and wounded in the attack.
Doctors Without Borders, which is known internationally as Médecins Sans Frontières, or MSF, confirmed the casualty figures, and noted that the victims were all between 8 and 15 years old.
Before the massacre, the children had been studying in their classrooms in the town Haydan, in the northwestern Sa’ada governorate, UNICEF said in a statement.
The U.S.-backed, Saudi-led coalition denied attacking a school, The Washington Post reported. It instead claimed that it had bombed a camp where Yemen’s Houthi rebels were training child soldiers. The Post noted, however, that these “claims could not be independently verified.”
In October, the coalition also bombed an MSF hospital in Haydan, in an attack condemned by the U.N
MSF reported that U.S.-backed Saudi-led coalition airstrikes had “flattened” Haydan. Before the October hospital bombing, air strikes in June and July hit several houses, a school and a market.
The coalition has destroyed at least three medical centers run by the medical humanitarian group.
U.S.-backed Saudi forces have bombed more hospitals, schools, civilian neighborhoods, weddings, a refugee camp and even an Oxfam humanitarian aid warehouse.
This most recent attack comes just days after coalition warplanes bombed a market outside Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killing at least 18 civilians.
Yemeni pharmacist Sadam al-Othari, who lost his son in the attack, told The New York Times, “They targeted only civilians.” He added, “There wasn’t a single gunman or military vehicle around.”
Peace talks between Yemeni rebels and the U.S.-backed, Saudi-allied government broke down on Saturday, Aug. 6. On Sunday, hours after the negotiations ended, the coalition launched 30 air strikes throughout Yemen.
More than 6,500 Yemenis have been killed in the war. Human rights organizations have accused both the coalition and Yemeni rebels of war crimes. According to the U.N., however, the Saudi-led coalition is responsible for two-thirds of civilian casualties.
Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International have called for the Saudi absolute monarchy to be suspended from the U.N. Human Rights Council because of its “gross and systematic violations of human rights abroad and at home.”
Meanwhile, the war in Yemen has pushed the poorest country in the Middle East to the brink of catastrophe, creating one of the worst humanitarian disasters in the world.
More than half of Yemen’s entire population, 14 million people, are hungry. For more than a year, humanitarian groups have warned that 80 percent of the population desperately needs food and medical assistance.
The weapons the coalition has used in civilian areas, including widely banned cluster munitions, have been provided by the U.S. and U.K. The U.S. has done more than $100 billion in arms deals with the extremist authoritarian Saudi regime in the past several years.
Moreover, American and British military officials are physically in the command room with the Saudi military, and have access to a list of targets.
“With the intensification in violence across the country in the past week, the number of children killed and injured by airstrikes, street fighting and landmines has grown sharply,” UNICEF said in the statement it released on Saturday.
The U.N. children’s agency called on “all parties to the conflict in Yemen to respect and abide by their obligations under international law,” stressing, “This includes the obligation to only target combatants and limit harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure.”
MSF echoed UNICEF’s call for “all warring parties to take greater measures to protect civilians.”

Suicide Bombing At Turkish Wedding Carried Out By Child, Pinned On ISIS
A devastating suicide attack on a wedding in Turkey was carried out by a child and appears to have been orchestrated by the Islamic State, Turkish officials say.
The bombing in Gaziantep killed at least 54 people, according to local officials, and injured at least 66 more. Fourteen of the wounded are said to be critically injured.
At least 22 of the victims were children — and the suicide bomber is also believed to have been between 12 and 14 years old.
The bride and groom are believed to have survived the attack, NPR's Peter Kenyon reports (http://www.npr.org/2016/08/22/490895602/scores-killed-and-injured-in-turkey-wedding-bombing).
The young age of the attacker is highly unusual for Turkey, Peter says.
"As I can tell it's never happened here," he says. "ISIS has used child bombers before; there's a monitoring group in the U.K. called the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, and they say ISIS used 18 child bombers in 2015. There have been reports of cases in Nigeria and Afghanistan as well. But for Turkey, I think, this is a first."
The bombing is the deadliest terrorist attack in Turkey so far this year — and it has already been a brutal year. The country has suffered attacks on transportation hubs, police stations and tourist destinations. Just days ago, three separate bombings hit across the country in one day (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/18/490460660/car-bombs-in-turkey-kill-at-least-6-wound-more-than-200).
An attack on the Istanbul airport in June is believed to have been carried out by ISIS, but many of the other bombings were pinned on Kurdish militants with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, or PKK.
But Turkish officials believe the Islamic State was responsible for this weekend's bombing. "Since these victims were mainly Kurdish, the PKK probably wasn't behind it," Peter says.
There has been no official claim of responsibility by any organization, but President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says that police investigations point toward ISIS.
And on Monday, Reuters reported that the specific kind of device used in the attack also suggests ISIS involvement. The wire service reports:
"The device ... was the same type used in 2015 attacks on a peace rally in Ankara (http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2015/10/11/447686719/thousands-march-in-ankara-to-mourn-bombing-victims) and on the border district of Suruc (http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-33619043), a senior security official said on Monday.
"Both the Ankara and Suruc attacks were blamed on Islamic State, reinforcing the suspicion that the militant group was also behind the Gaziantep bombing on Saturday evening, the official said."
An ISIS attack on Kurds in Turkey might be motivated by events in Syria, Peter reports.
"One possible explanation is that ISIS is upset about Kurdish military victories in northern Syria because it's the Kurdish fighters who are really leading the charge there against the ISIS fighters," he says. "So some are saying this could be revenge taken against Kurdish civilians — who have nothing to do with it, obviously — inside Turkey for Kurdish battlefield gains in Syria."
At the same time, the attack sends a signal to Turkey in general that ISIS is capable of striking against civilians, Peter says.

I'm not blaming Islam itself. My view is generally negative about religion as a whole, not limited to Islam. However, there is room for Islam, Christianity, Judaism, etc in this world as long as their practitioners don't go overboard with it.
I don't think Islam is inherently "worse" than other religions. But that doesn't mean I need to ignore the fact that in the current world, more atrocities are committed by members of islam than other religions. It's a matter of stating and acknowledging a fact, not a matter of my hatred of islam
the bombings and drone strikes of those middle eastern countries are mainly committed by members of christianity. That death toll far outnumbers terrorist strikes.
:lol "by members of Christianity"
The tangential fact that they are Christian isn't relevant there, though. If their being Christian led to their bombings, it would be different. Motive, etc. Otherwise you can keep any arbitrary tally like "how many shootings are done by people named Steve" or "how many murderers have facial hair."

Police thwart child bomber attack in Iraq’s Kirkuk
In the footage which was captured and published by Kurdistan24 late on Sunday, two Kurdish police officers can be seen surrounding and restraining a child bomber while another defuses the explosives attached to his body.
After the bomb is successfully removed, the boy is arrested and taken away in a police car.
There is still no information on the child’s planned target or who was behind the thwarted terrorist operation.
The incident comes on the same day as the city was hit by two other bombing incidents, one just a few steps away from a mosque.
Earlier on Saturday, a child bomber targeted a wedding in Turkey’s Gaziantep, killing at least 51 people and injuring scores of others.
According to a report published by the Combating Terrorism Center early in the year, the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group is increasingly using children in its attacks, as its ranks are being thinned out by anti-terror campaigns.
“The data unambiguously suggests that the Daesh’s mobilization of children and youth for military purposes is accelerating,” said the report.
“The rate of operations involving one or more child or youth is likewise increasing; there were three times as many suicide operations involving children and youth in January 2016 as the previous January,” added the report.
The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by gruesome violence ever since Daesh terrorists mounted their offensive in June 2014. The militants have been committing vicious crimes against all ethnic and religious communities in Iraq, including Shias, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians.

Suicide Bombing Kills at Least 20 in Somalia
NAIROBI, Kenya — A suicide bomb rocked the Somali town of Galkayo on Sunday, killing at least 20 people and showing that Islamist militants, despite recent setbacks, can still plan and execute deadly attacks anywhere in the country.
Galkayo, a midsize town in central Somalia (http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/somalia/index.html?inline=nyt-geo), had been quiet in recent months.
Yet that suddenly changed at 10 a.m. on Sunday when militants detonated a deafening bomb in a market, sending a column of black smoke shooting into the sky. A squad of militants stormed a nearby government building, engaging in gun battles with security forces.
“One of the blasts was so huge, I was really shocked,” said Abdirahman Abdweli, a student in the city.
The explosion ripped the roofs off several buildings, scattering sharp pieces of corrugated metal and debris across the area.
The death toll was not immediately clear. The Shabab (http://www.nytimes.com/topic/organization/shabab?inline=nyt-org) militant group, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said 30 people had been killed. Somali health officials and residents said the number was closer to 20, with dozens wounded.

FBI probing possible Virginia terror attack
ROANOKE COUNTY, Va. -- The FBI is investigating a double stabbing here Saturday night as a possible terrorist attack, reports CBS News Investigative Unit Senior Producer Pat Milton, citing law enforcement sources.
One told Milton the suspect yelled “Allah Akbar” -- Arabic for God is Great -- during the stabbing. Witnesses told police they heard the same thing, reports CBS Roanoke affiliate WDBJ-TV (http://www.wdbj7.com/content/news/POLICE-Roanoke-County-stabbing-suspect-yelled-Allah-Akbar-during-attack-390982511.html).
Police said Wasil Farooqui, 20, of Roanoke County, stabbed a man and woman in a random attack that left the victims severely wounded and hospitalized. He’s charged with two counts of aggravated malicious wounding and is being held without bond.
The victims told police they were attacked as they entered The Pines Apartments just before 8 p.m.
The male was able to fight off the attacker, who fled the scene, police said.
----------
A U.S. intelligence source tells CBS News Farooqui has been on the FBI’s radar for months and is believed to be self-radicalized.
That source says authorities aren’t sure whether Farooqui is an American citizen. :lol det vetting system :lol
The source adds that Farooqui tried to go to Syria earlier this year but only got as far as Europe, then returned to the U.S., and the trip is what alerted law enforcement to him.

At least 15 people have been killed in near the southern Iraqi city of Kerbala after five suicide bomber targeted a Shia wedding in the village of Ein Tamer. Iraqi police confirmed the number of dead at the wedding, explaining the blast occurred late on (Sunday) 29 August. They said the attacks were carried out by the Sunni terror group Islamic State (Isis) which has carried out a series of attacks on the Shia majority in Iraq. Associated Press reported that security forces were able to shoot dead four of the five suicide bombers before they were able to detonate their devices, preventing a far higher death toll.

Islamic State bombing kills 54 government recruits in Yemen
SANAA, Yemen (AP) — A suicide car bombing claimed by the Islamic State in Yemen's southern city of Aden on Monday killed at least 54 pro-government recruits, officials said, underscoring how the militant group has been able to exploit Yemen's civil war to stage large-scale attacks.
In the attack in Aden, the men were gathered at a staging area near two schools and a mosque when a pickup truck suddenly accelerated through the building's gate as a food delivery arrived, exploding amid the crowd, witnesses said.
"Bodies and body parts are scattered all over the place," said Mohammed Osman, a neighbor who rushed to the scene. "It was a massacre."
The death toll steadily rose through the day and by mid-afternoon, the director of Aden's Health Ministry, Khidra Lasour, said 54 had died from the explosion. Almost 70 people were wounded, including 30 seriously, and were being treated in area hospitals.
Security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media, identified the bomber as one Ahmed Seif, distributing a photo of him smiling and holding an assault rifle next to a flag used by Islamic extremists as well as a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.

Finally an Allah snackbar attack with a happy ending

A homeless Sudanese refugee imported into Kelso, Washington, in 2013 was shot and killed by a police officer after he allegedly tried to rob a gas station and savagely attacked an attendant, customer, and responding officer with a walking stick.
Omer Ismail Ali allegedly attempted to shoplift from a Flying K gas station and convenience store on August 19, but the attending clerk told him to leave the store. Ali reportedly made a threat, and a police officer arrived shortly later to look at the surveillance footage.
Reportedly, Ali returned with a walking stick and began to beat the female clark with a long walking stick, before officer John Johnston pointed a weapon at him. Ali then turned away from his victim and advanced on Johnston, beating him with the stick, as well and pinning him in a corner. Surveillance footage then appears to show Johnston, lying on the floor, fire his weapon as Ali continued to beat him. Ali collapsed

EXCLUSIVE: Bigot tried ripping off two Muslim women’s hijabs as they strolled with their babies in Brooklyn attack
A bigoted Brooklyn woman launched a sickening attack on two Muslim women pushing their babies in strollers — punching them in the face and trying to pull off their hijabs, prosecutors said Friday.
Emirjeta Xhelili, 32, hurled Islamophobic insults as she pounced on the two victims near her Bath Beach home about 1:30 p.m. Thursday, authorities said.
“Get the f--k out of here,” Xhelili, 32, allegedly yelled at the pair, according to prosecutors. “Get the f--k out of America, b-----s.”
As she punched the 23-year-old women in the face and kicked them in their legs, she tried to rip the traditional Muslim veils off their heads at Bay 20th St. and Cropsey Aves., police sources said.
“This is America — you shouldn’t be different from us,” she yelled, prosecutors said.
The victims and babies were not badly hurt, police sources said.
Less than an hour before the attacks, Xhelili posted hate-filled Facebook messages on an account named Mary Magdalene ripping Muslims and blacks.
Emirjeta Ehelili, 32, is charged with misdemeanor assault as a hate crime after she attacked two Muslim women walking in Bensonhurst with their babies in strollers.
“What is your Allah doing to me? It’s kissing my ass,” one of the messages reads.
In another, she refers to “aliens with black skins.”
“You lucky for a time that is left, for I have counted your days!”
Xhelili was arraigned on a charge of misdemeanor assault as a hate crime.
Brooklyn prosecutors said her attack included an attempt to knock over a stroller carrying a 15-month-old baby.
“She didn’t even care for the well-being of a baby — that’s how serious this hate crime is,” Assistant District Attorney Kelli Muse said at the arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
Police collared Xhelili a half hour after the assault when the victims pointed her out a few blocks away, officials said.
“She continued to taunt them in front of police while in custody, saying ‘You guys don’t belong here,’ ” said Muse, who requested $50,000 bail.
Xhelili was ordered held on $50,000 bond or $25,000 cash bail.
Judge Lorna McAllister issued an order of protection barring her from any contact with the victims or their babies.
In response to the heinous crime, the New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic relations urged local mosques and Islamic institutions to increase security, saying the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks may be used as “an excuse to attack American Muslims.”
Xhelili has no previous arrests and works at Noi Due, a kosher Italian restaurant on the Upper West Side, her lawyer said. Her vile social media musings include several bizarre tweets cheering the candidacy of Donald Trump.
“America is the ark of Noah,” one reads. “Trump’s gonna win.”

If you support Islam and allow it to embed itself in your society they are going to do Islamic things and butt heads with people who live different lifestyles, it's not that hard to see with such a large body of evidence. Fewer and fewer people are defending Islam by the day, you guys are some of the last holdouts.

Arson fire destroys mosque attended by Orlando nightclub shooter: authorities
Last Updated Sep 12, 2016 6:59 AM EDT
FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- A fire overnight destroyed the Islamic Center of Fort Pierce, a mosque once attended by the Pulse nightclub killer and another American terrorist, reports CBS West Plam Beach Florida affiliate WPEC-TV.
The first crews on scene reported seeing flames shooting through the mosque’s roof.
The St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office released a statement Monday morning says the blaze was set.
“A fire at any place of worship is alarming, regardless of the circumstances,” the statement says. “Video captured at the Fort Pierce Islamic Center shows an individual approached the east side of the building just moments before a flash is seen and the fire starts.
“The Sheriff’s Office is actively investigating this as an arson with the assistance of the St. Lucie County Fire District, the Florida State Fire Marshall’s Office, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.
“As soon as we are able, we will release the video of this incident and ask for the public to assist us in identifying the person or persons responsible.”
Authorities said it was unclear if there were any ties to the 15th anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
Mosque leaders told WPEC in June they’d been receiving threats, including threats to that the building would be torched. Security was stepped up.
Omar Mateen, the man federal authorities say killed dozens of people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando June -- the worst mass shooting in U.S. history -- attended the mosque. He was killed by police in a shootout at the club.
Moner Mohammad Abu Salha, the American Taliban who became a suicide bomber in Syria, also went to that mosque, WPEC says.
According to the station, the FBI investigated Mateen for terrorist ties twice, including connections to Abu Salha. The agency said it determined the connection between Mateen and Abu Salha to be “minimal” and not a “substantive relationship or threat at that time.”
Mateen lived in Fort Pierce and once worked for a security firm in Palm Beach Gardens. Just last week, the state of Florida fined G4S Secure Solutions $151,400 for listing the wrong psychologist’s name on more than 1,500 forms that allowed employees to carry guns, according to The Associated Press. One of the forms belonged to Mateen. The company filed a form in September 2007 to let him carry a gun as a security guard.
In a statement, the company said the wrong psychologist’s name was listed due to an administrative error.

EXCLUSIVE: Traditionally dressed Muslim woman set on fire in Midtown; police investigate possible hate crime
A 36-year-old Scottish tourist wearing traditional Muslim garb had her blouse set on fire in a bizarre incident outside a pricey Fifth Ave. boutique, police sources said Monday.
The victim noticed the sleeve of her blouse was charred and smoldering and was not badly hurt in the Saturday night attack, just hours before the ceremony marking the 15-year anniversary of 9/11.
But the attacker got away, and the NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force is trying to determine if it was motivated by bias toward Muslims.
The incident happened just after 9 p.m. as the woman was window shopping on Fifth Ave. by Valentino near E. 55th St.
She felt heat on her arm, a police source said, and realized her blouse had been set on fire.
“She saw (the suspect) pull a lighter away and walk away,” the source said. “He doesn’t say anything.”
The suspect was last seen strutting and swinging his arms along E. 54th St. just minutes after the fire attack. Surveillance footage shows the man was wearing a tank top, pants and a backwards hat — all black.
Ibrahim Hooper, a spokesman for the Council on American-Islamic Relations, urged a full investigation.
“I would obviously be concerned because it’s symptomatic of the overall rise in Islamophobic sentiment in our society,” he said.
Last Thursday, a 32-year-old woman in Brooklyn was busted on charges of attacking two young Muslim mothers. In the sickening attack, Emirjeta Zhelili allegedly punched the women in the face and tried to rip the hijabs from their heads.
Police are seeking the suspect in connection to Saturday's attack and anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the NYPD's crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS.

my bad, i meant forgive the people that did the killing. I agree , we shouldn't blame people for the past , but most people dont even know it. Thats my point. Everyone is so quick to point the finger when they are too ignorant to know their own history. in 2016 , today there are other peoples commiting crimes, and violence in the name of religion that are not muslim.
