Medina Bombed

[ReptilianPeon]

Will al-Saud stop supporting terrorists now?

This is crazy. Will Mecca be next? This is what happens when you give weapons and money to terrorists in places like Syria and Iraq. I hope the International Criminal Court does investigate the 2003 invasion of Iraq when the Levison report comes out.

I take no pleasure in Saudi's Wahhabist chickens coming home to roost, it's innocent people who will suffer most.

Shouldn't, at the very least, the Mosques of Mecca and Medina be protected by Allah? Where is Allah? Quran 13:13 says Allah fires thunderbolts at people if it desires, thus taking away free will and saving the lives of the victims. Was there no desire by Allah to protect the pious pilgrims?

A thunderbolt would be a sign indeed from Allah. Nobody would expect it. And there would be a net saving of lives because now people want revenge. Even if you argue the bombing was part of Allah's plan, and people will be spurred into action, I think more civilians will be saved by Allah throwing thunderbolts at terrorists. We'd also know who Allah considers a terrorist, thus giving us a definition since there Saudis led the charge to stop the United Nations from defining who is a terrorist and who isn't.

Goes to show the half brains that this isn't a Sunni thing either. It's just Isis pulling it's own show. Against everyone opposing their idea of paradise.

Going to do a Trump.

We should pull out of the region, put a huge wall around it (manned by members of Mexican cartels) and just let the whole lot of them go for it.

Sounds harsh but I'm sick of the bullshit that goes on in the region and the hawks in our nations insisting on sending others to die for their interests.

[Minimalist]

Meh!  A pox on both their houses.

I really don't mean to minimize the horrors of terrorist bombings, but this one has the potential to have a good outcome. Traditionalist Muslim aren't going to be at all happy about ISIS attacking the burial place of the Prophet. This might be the event that causes moderate (and even less-than-moderate) Muslims to finally get off the pot and condemn ISIS for the psychotic butchers the rest of the world knows them to be.
