VIDEO - ISIS Blowing up Sha Shrines in Iraq

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) in Lahfaan: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) ordered the demolition of the damage mosque, in this guide to demolish what is the greatest havoc from mosques built on graves, the rule of Islam in which to demolish the whole even settled Earth, the first demolition of the damage mosque, as well as the domes on the graves, which must all be demolished; because it is based on the sin of the Prophet

VIDEO - A Quarter or Iraq has fallen - the Battle is Big - Iraq Writer slams Al Jazeera: They Regulate Terror in Iraq

Iraqi journalist Abu Firas Hamdani has acquired worldwide stardom after having visited the Aljazeera studio in Qatar where he accused the Qatari government and its main state television Al Jazeera of manipulating news and thereby 'regulating' terrorism in Iraq. Qatar and Saudi Arabia are frequently referred to as the primary source of revenue for ISIS in Iraq and Syria. On June 18, Abu Firas was invited to hold a debate at the Al Jazeera studio in Doha. Whilst speaking at the Al Jazeera show, Hamdani questioned Al Jazeera's intentions and directed criticism toward the Emir of the country. A pen was thrown at Hamdani by his opponent during the diatribe and Abu Firas was subsequently removed from the studio. State security forces loyal to the Emir arrested and jailed Hamdani for his remarks in Qatar.

“Nightmare scenario”: ISIS encircling Baghdad

Robert Spencer Jun 25, 2014 at 2:42pm Iraq, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria 8 Comments

“Thousands of young men from the south have flocked to Baghdad to bolster the flagging army, and many observers have assumed that the flow of southern militiamen would help stem an ISIS advance that’s captured much of northern and central Iraq in the weeks since the city of Mosul fell under ISIS control June 10.” However, that doesn’t seem to be happening. Nonetheless, it seems unlikely that Iran will sit idly by and allow its Shi’ite client government in Iraq to fall without a fight.

“Islamist fighters reportedly attempting to encircle Baghdad,” by Mitchell Prothero, McClatchy, June 25, 2014 (thanks to Jerk Chicken):

IRBIL, Iraq — Iraq’s dire situation has gone from bad dream to nightmare in two weeks of fighting that have seen Sunni Muslim gunmen assert control over a growing area, including, Kurdish officials said Tuesday, at least two towns that lie on a crucial supply route linking Baghdad, the capital, with the mostly Shiite Muslim south.

A Shia cleric loyal to anti-US cleric Moqtada al Sadr has warned that the 300 US military advisers en route to Iraq will be attacked.

In a sermon from Baghdad's Sadr City district, Nassir al Saedi threatened what he called "the occupier", saying: "We will be ready for you if you are back."

The warning comes after President Barack Obama announced the deployment of US military advisers, made up mostly of special forces.

Reprisal Killings now in Iraq as Religious Was heats up

AP is reporting that Nearly four dozen Sunnis were murdered at a jail north of Baghdad, a car bomb struck a Shiite neighborhood in Baghdad and four young Sunnis were found dead, as ominous signs emerged Tuesday that open warfare between the Sunni and Shia Muslim sects has returned to Iraq.  The religious schism is ancient and had led to many wars and more deaths. 

The conflict actually began in the year 632 with the death of the Prophet Mohamed. The same is true of the violence, tension or oppression currently gripping the Muslim world from Iraq and Iran, though Egypt, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia to Yemen, Pakistan and Afghanistan. The division between Sunni and Shia Muslims is the oldest in the Middle East - and yet it is one which seems increasingly to be shaping the destiny of this troubled region as thousands of devotees from both sides pour into Syria. Jihadist al-Qa'ida volunteers on the Sunni side and Hezbollah militants on the Shia, are joining what is fast becoming a transnational civil war between the two factions. 1
