Suicide bomber hits Somali graduation; 22 dead

Le us hope and pray this was not the work of the anti-education religious zealot fanatics.

If not they, then who?

If it was perpetrated by those-who-must-not-be-mentioned, then this news is too depressing. Why can't they just give it a rest? Killing Muslims for political advantage, in the name of a 'better' version of Islam. Believing that they are the true believers, and killing people who may be far more pure and spiritual than they are... they don't even realize that they are spitting on Allah and bound for the hell that they believe in. It's disgusting.

The BBC is saying it was a female suicide bomber.

Blooper... a suicide bomber "disguised as a woman".

How cowardly is that? In the name of Islam?

What did you expect nandakandamanda? Of course it was the religion of peace and love... for hardcore islamofacist rule. Always trying to get back to the 7th or 8th century.

and highlighted the inability of Somalia’s weak government to protect even the small section of the capital it controls.

How did this become "the government"? Sure there must be more powerful factions in the country that could lay claim to that title?

These stories are always horrible and tragic, but this one really bothers me. My heart goes out to the families of the victims...

That is what you are saying, but where is your religious credibility? There is firm theological grounding for jihad, and there are plenty of jihadist high-ranking clerics to support it.

Is Somali in Bagdad somewhere? That's where all the suicide bombings are, right?

WilliB That is what you are saying, but where is your religious credibility? There is firm theological grounding for jihad, and there are plenty of jihadist high-ranking clerics to support it.

I am simply stating the obvious truth. When a group of people get hysterical and all of them start frothing the same froth, everyone will be watching them. Maybe they won't say anything, but ordinary people get revulsed. Millions of people around the world can see this.

These 'high-ranking jihadist clerics' are in fact turning vast numbers of potential believers AWAY from Islam. Allah cannot be happy with them.

What a sad situation for this group of people....

This is very sad news. The people who done this are enemies to both muslims & non-muslims. It means they are enemies of mankind.
