Wes can clarify but I thought Buddhists were absolutely peaceful all of the time, always, no matter the circumstance.

This could be why you always lose at Shogun 2.

You may be on to something...

...Saudi Arabia now.

...Saudi Arabia now.

actually that is IMHO 'blue on blue' or Islamic flags dark Green on darker Green.

SaudiArabia and their Wahhabism religious interpretation spread from overthere since the West was so stupid to make a camel driving nomad tribe stuck in medieval mindset super rich is the root of the global situation we have to face now.

the only difference between SaudiArabia (some other Gulf states too) and IS is that they are decades established now as super-rich 'businessmen' and control (aka blackmail) lots of the oil-flow and so are able to spread their medieval Islamofascism with carefull bribing instead of terror.... well some of their countrymen was that not Islamic enuf, and to slow, and they saw their religious case already 'getting polluted' by the West and so those Saudis break from the Kingdom's way to a much more aggressive stand.
On top of that is the ongoing religious (cold)war between Sunni and Shiite faction(s) since they could not negotiate the best Calif ruler to follow-up in the Prophets larger than life footsteps in the year 632.

Definitely as Mike says.

I'm sorry that once again innocent people have got killed. :(

The only thing that will be good about this is if the backers of islamofascism suddenly realise that the terror they export can be visited on them too. Maybe they will start learning from that?

I'd like to think they're going to learn sympathy from other Muslims doing it to them, but past experience suggests they won't.

On a more... strategic?... note: I can't personally recall any Islamic terror group going this hard, or going much at all, during Ramadan. I can't say I was surprised (though saddened) to hear that they had struck one of the two holy pilgrimages (or they had gotten some dupes to do so). Can't help but wonder if Mecca and maybe the Dome at Jerusalem are on the list for later, or maybe fizzled already.

Damn.

Just...damn.  :(

Seeing a report that there are perhaps 60 dead.

At least 60 dead now and near 100 injured (per Euronews).

[JasonPratt]

Driver shot dead; might be an escaped accomplice.

(Of course technically there has been no word about ethnicity yet or anything like that, but the mode is common for both Al-Qaeda and ISIS. If it isn't one of them, it's a copycat. Now there's a new way things could get worse... )
