Islam, the religion of “peace”? George W. Bush was a real idiot, we know that. But to call Islam the religion of peace could only mean one of two things: either he is actually mentally retarded or the biggest kiss-ass politician in history. And this says a lot, considering the politicians whose policies in immigration are destroying western Europe. Andrea Merkel comes to mind, among others… TGO

Twin suicide bombings rocked a busy Baghdad market Monday, killing 38 and wounding 105 more in the deadliest attack there since officials declared victory over the Islamic State in December.
The explosions rang out back to back in bustling Tayran Square during the city’s rush hour.
“It was a tremendous, I felt the ground shaking under my feet,” said street vendor Munthir Falah, who took shrapnel to his chest and right leg in the explosion. “I fell on the ground and lost conscious to find myself later in the hospital.”
Clothing and the bodies of the dead littered the bloodstained city center following the brutal bombing.
ISIS has not claimed responsibility for the carnage, but the attacks bear the group’s hallmarks.
Iraqi Parliament Speaker Salim al-Jabouri called the bombings a “cowardly act against innocent people.”
The bloodshed comes just over a month after state officials declared victory over ISIS, claiming they had routed the group from Iraqi territories and stemmed their flow in from neighboring Syria.
But Falah blamed the Iraqi government and security forces for failing to prevent targeted attacks such as Monday’s suicide bombing.
“They think that [ISIS] is done with the territorial losses and they do not bother themselves to exert efforts to secure Baghdad,” he said.
Victim and mobile phone vendor Jalal Ali said he was “shocked” to see the violence so soon after victory was declared, adding he expected attacks to ramp up once the nation announces elections in May.
“I’m sure they will increase,” he said.
Another suicide bomber struck the northeastern district of Jamila later Monday, killing two, according to the BBC.
Eight people died just two days earlier when a suicide bomber struck a police checkpoint in the northern end of Baghdad.
