Slaughter in the mosque: a new terror for Iraqis - World - Times Online

Please read the disturbing Times article quoted partly below.

Shia vs Sunni, they followed the same prophet. They both read the same Quran. But somehow they both can find Quranic justification to convince themselves that their Allah allows them to kill each other in his name.

So, what went wrong with the Quran that said their Allah had made it simple to understand? Why is the disparity so great that Muslims have to resort to killing Muslims? Or does the Quran urgently need another revision?

If their Allah does not mean for this to happen, couldn't he just send his Jibriel to straighten things out like he did to bail out Mohammed? So, why didn't the Allah help the poor Muslim man calling out to his name for desperate help when his throat was about to be savagely slashed? Or was it the decapitated head a clear sign of the Allah's sanction for whoever is the Muslim victor who called the prayer of terror the loudest?

The kidnapping, the beheading, and the ransom taking, all these are the trademark of Islam's prophet Mohammed. Today, 44 more bullet riddled bodies were found in Baghdad. How much more senseless and atrocious bloodshed of innocent, non-combatant, civilians lives are those cowards going to shed in the name of their religion?

And where are the peace loving so-called moderate muslims? Where are their voices? Where are their condemnations? What are they going to do about it?

Slaughter in the mosque: a new terror for Iraqis

• Executions held in prayer rooms
• Survivor freed after ransom paid

Hassan Mahmoud <snip> …sits on a couch and talks about Iraq’s secret religious prisons his broad frame shakes, he clutches himself and weeps.

"It hurts me when I remember what happened," he says, recalling his brush with death inside a Shia prayer room where he witnessed the beheading of a fellow kidnap victim.

In the war for Baghdad, mosques serve as garrisons. Sunnis use religious sanctuaries as strongholds to fight for mixed neighbourhoods. Shia extremists convert their mosques and prayer rooms, called husseiniyas, into execution chambers.

In a quiet voice he tells of an ordeal many have suffered but very few have survived. In late August he was waiting for a lift home after registering for a training course at a technical college in southeast Baghdad. His decision to take a minibus would prove disastrous. Before it had gone 50 metres two men and a woman pulled out rifles and ordered Mahmoud and three other male passengers to put their heads down.
Soon he had been whisked into Iraq’s fundamentalist netherworld. The next 24 hours in a Shia husseiniya brought him deep into the world of militiamen - where executions are carried out on a whim and ransom money is extorted from victims’ families.

There they waited for the sayed - the Shia prayer leader.

The sayed wore a black turban and cloak - the mark of a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad - and had a pistol tucked by his side. He asked each man where he was from. The first answered Amariyah - a Sunni enclave that Shia extremists believe is a terrorist den. Mahmoud’s stomach sank.

Mahmoud realised that if they knew he was a Sunni he would die. "I’m from the Mussawis in al-Amal," he lied, giving the name of a Shia tribe. The sayed warned him they would see if his story added up.
The final two captives were also questioned. Before leaving the sayed asked each one to identify his mobile and give the name of a relative to ring.

At 2am the guards handcuffed them with white plastic-cuffs and bound their legs. First they grabbed the man from Amariyah and took him to an adjoining room. Mahmoud watched from his corner.
"They wrapped him in a nylon sheet. They held him on his side. He was begging. One man sat on his legs, the other on his hips. A third guy, in black, remained standing and took the sheath off his knife and yanked the guy’s hair and recited ya Allah, ya Mohammed, ya Ali (the revered Shia figure) and then called out the names of the Imams (Ali’s descendants) and rested the blade on the Amariyah guy’s throat.

“The guy begged them and screamed for God to save him.But the man started to cut and shrieked ya Allah, ya Allah. Then there was a cracking sound like a sheep being slaughtered. The man pulled off the Amariyah guy’s head. His eyes were still open.

Bomb kills two, wounds 18 in Thai Muslim south

Bomb kills two, wounds 18 in Thai Muslim south
By James Mackenzie

YALA, Thailand (Reuters) - A bomb hidden in bags of vegetables killed two men and wounded 18 others at a market in Thailand's restive Muslim south on Tuesday, police said.
The bomb exploded in a row of food stalls popular among Buddhist Thais living in the town of Yala in one of three southernmost provinces where a separatist insurgency has killed more than 1,800 people since 2004.
Police said six people were wounded seriously. Two civilians died later in hospital.
They said video from a closed-circuit camera showed four youths had hid the bomb next to a food stall before fleeing the scene on motorcycles.
Insurgents staging attacks have never claimed responsibility for any violence or declared their goals.
