A huge earthquake has killed at least 25,000 Iranian faithful in south-eastern Iran, government sources say. Over 60% of the City of Bam leveled. 10,000 to 50,000 of Mohammed's children were injured.
The high death toll occurred because very few people who were trapped when their mud-brick homes collapsed managed to survive. Rescue workers reported that the collapsing mud-brick structures had completely disintegrated and buried people in piles of earth, rather than trapping them in voids or air pockets between building slabs, as would happen in a concrete building collapse.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Feb. 22 — A powerful explosion shattered the golden dome of one of Iraq's most revered Shiite shrines this morning, setting off a day of almost unparalleled sectarian fury in cities and towns across Iraq as protesting mobs took to the streets to chant for revenge and set fire to dozens of Sunni mosques. Over 100 dead bodies with bullet holes were found on February 23, and at least 165 people are thought to have been killed. As a result of the bombing, a great amount of violence broke out throughout Iraq. The Sunni Clerical Association of Muslim Scholars has said that, as of February 23, 2006, 168 Sunni mosques had been attacked. They also stated that ten imams had been killed and fifteen others abducted since the attack on the Sammara mosque. Three mosques were completely destroyed by explosives.

Members of "The Religion of Peace" cut off the heads of 3 schoolgirls in Indonesia. A terrible crime has been committed in Poso, in Central Sulawasi, Indonesia, which for several years has seen sectarian violence against the Christian minority. Thugs have beheaded 3 Christian 16 year old girls walking back from school.
Most of the graves discovered to date correspond to one of five major atrocities perpetrated by the regime:
The 1983 attack against Kurdish citizens belonging to the Barzani tribe, 8,000 of whom were rounded up by the regime in northern Iraq and executed in deserts at great distances from their homes.
The 1988 Anfal campaign, during which as many as 182,000 people disappeared. Most of the men were separated from their families and were executed in deserts in the west and southwest of Iraq. The remains of some of their wives and children have also been found in mass graves.
Chemical attacks against Kurdish villages from 1986 to 1988, including the Halabja attack, when the Iraqi Air Force dropped sarin, VX and tabun chemical agents on the civilian population, killing 5,000 people immediately and causing long-term medical problems, related deaths, and birth defects among the progeny of thousands more.
The 1991 massacre of Iraqi Shi’a Muslims after the Shi’a uprising at the end of the Gulf war, in which tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in such regions as Basra and Al-Hillah were killed.
The 1991 Kurdish massacre, which targeted civilians and soldiers who fought for autonomy in northern Iraq after the Gulf war.

A trench with piles of clothed bodies packed tightly together. Men, women, little children. Even unborn children. Some blindfolded. Some with their hands bound. All slaughtered in cold blood by the henchmen of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
All of this horror was discovered in another mass grave in the desert wasteland of northwestern Iraq, near the town of Hatra. It was discovered a year ago, and only now is it being carefully and scientifically excavated by the Regime Crimes Liaison Office.
"Our real, ultimate goal is to get evidence that’s so tight that when they bring certain regime leaders to trial, it’s very tight, just like any trial you would have in the United States or anywhere else in the world.”
It’s thought that there are as many as 3,000 bodies at this one site alone, but the workers will only unearth 200 to 300. There is not enough time for more, but there are many more sites to examine.
By one estimate, 300,000 people were slaughtered during Saddam's rule and dumped in 40 different mass grave sites around the country.
BANGKOK, October 26 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Some 78 Muslim protestors were confirmed killed Tuesday, October26 [2004] , while in police detention, bringing the death toll from clashes that erupted in southern Thailand a day earlier to at least84 .

Beginning in August 1979, the courts tried and passed death sentences on members of ethnic minorities involved in antigovernment movements. Some 550 persons had been executed by the time Bazargan resigned in November 1979. Bazargan had also attempted, but failed, to bring the revolutionary committees under his control. The committees, whose members were armed, performed a variety of duties. They policed neighborhoods in urban areas, guarded prisons and government buildings, made arrests, and served as the execution squads of the revolutionary tribunals.
Iran has been lead by the wise teachings of this voice of god since the Revolution. Here is a sample of his modern day wisdom:
Imam Khomeini - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution:
On sex with Animals: "The meat of horses, mules, or donkeys is not recommended. It is strictly forbidden if the animal was sodomized while alive by a man. In that case, the animal must be taken outside the city and sold."
"If a man becomes aroused by a woman other than his wife but then has intercourse with his own wife, it is preferable for him not to pray if he has sweated; but if he first has intercourse with his wife and then with another woman, he may say his prayers even though he be in a sweat."
"If during an act of intercourse a man notices that the woman has begun mentruating, he must withdraw, if he fails to, he must give alms to the poor. If such a man cannot afford to give alms to the poor, he must at least give something to a beggar. If he cannot afford that either, he must ask forgiveness of God."
"During sexual intercourse, if the penis enters a woman's vagina or a man's anus, fully or only as far as the circumcision ring, both partners become impure, even if they have not reached puberty; they must consequently perform their ablutions."

Ibrahim Muhammadu Maccido dan Abu Bakar (1928 - 29 October 2006) was the 18th Sultan of Sokoto, the ruler of the Sokoto State in northern Nigeria. He was Sultan from April 20, 1996 until his death. He died in the crash of ADC Airlines flight 53, from Abuja to Sokoto. His son, a Nigerian senator, also died in the crash.
Maccido was the head of the Nigerian National Supreme Council for Islamic Affairs at the time of his death. As Sultan of Sokoto, he was also considered a spiritual leader by Nigeria's Muslims.
Since the conflict began in 2003, an estimated 350,000 Darfurians have died, most due to starvation. Some have put the death toll at 600,000. In Darfur most of the residents are Muslim, as are the Janjaweed fighters. The mass media have described the conflict as both "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide." The U.S. Government has described it as genocide, although the United Nations has declined to do so. I am sure the Koran has inspired many of the Janjaweed.
