At least 13 devotees have been killed by lightning outside a mosque in northeastern Bangladesh.

Local police chief Bayes Ahmed says 20 other people were injured by the lightning late Friday in Sylhet district. The victims were struck by the lightning as they were exiting the mosque following special prayers tied to the holy month of Ramadan.

Ahmed said Saturday that some of those who were killed died at the scene, while others died on the way to the hospital. He said the imam who led the prayers was among the dead.

    13 Islamics killed by lightning and another 20 Islamics injured…outside a place of Satan worship? And the mullah was one of those killed?

    How do I feel about this? I’d say it’s a good start. I’d say that G-d killed 13 hardcore fanatics and injured the 20 “moderate” Satan worshippers as a lesson in bitch-slapping.

    To Islamics in all 57 Satan-worshipping countries and the Satan-worshipping Mohammedans in the remaining civilized portion of the world: This is G-d’s wake-up call to you. This is your chance to renounce Satan-worshipping and convert to either Christianity or Judaism, the two true religions of this Earth.

    How are all these comments any different from the stupid sh*t they say about us–especially when we experience our own tragedies?

    I’m not supporting their Muslim beliefs, but not knowing anything about any of them, it’s not exactly right to assume none of them had anything in their hearts hidden that they feared exposing.

    I get that “being nicer” isn’t a real strategy and I don’t support any relativist nonsense, so I’m not into the “that’s their culture” crap that dictates we must refrain from criticism. And I don’t necessarily think it’s so awful to mock them, even though they are dead. But damn–as far as I can tell most of them were just ordinary people like us.

    I’m not torn up about this, but I don’t feel the need to celebrate it, either.

    Authorities are stunned by the large number of abnormal deaths. It is highly unusal to die from lighting strikes in a mosque citing the more common causes being AK-47s or suicide vests.

    The stupid comments we make are different because islamists strap bombs and nails to their chests and blow themselves the hell up in crowded public areas in order to make their point.

    Islamists have sworn to destroy non-islamists because it says so in their holy book.

    They are our enemy and we have been at “war” with them for years despite what the commie fascist liberal scum refuse to admit.

    Israel has been at war with them for far longer.

    So, I won’t feel the least bit guilty having a momentary smirk when I see some muzzies got zapped.

    Here’s my stupid comment: Hey, at least it didn’t cost our military a cent to blow away these muzzies!

    @Lisl

    Go slow. You haven’t the slightest idea of what you have stumbled upon. You’ll get all kinds of retorts here in light of current events from a ultra-conservative stance to downright, “We kill you if you fuck with us.”

    Don’t be quick to judge. Many intelligent people run and visit this site, which acts more a psychological escape valve from the grim and perplexing realities of the day we live in. People come here, as other do other places (e.g. Huffington Post/Democratic Underground)and VENT. That’s basically it. Most of us are in a good mood when we come here, like Bob above. But wait till you meet Bob and me and others when we are having a “bad hair” day. You’ll cry.

    On a personal level, our family has friends who are Arabs. They are not Muslims, but Born-again Christians. You should see some of the shit they put up with in their own community here in the Midwest. Scorned and despised by their own kind for their Christian faith. They’re beautiful people though. All people are beautiful in the eyes of the Creator. It’s the evil innate that messes things up. Sin.

    Consider this: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
    Ephesians 6:12

    So welcome to the battle field. I’m new to the world of history. I read books ranging from World, European, to anything Ancient. Your in my favorites, though you are into historical fiction I see, for me the real thing is cooler. I’ll check you out later.

    Luke 10:18 And he (Jesus) said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

    This lightning strike outside the mosque is Satan’s version of the rapture. He took some of his islamic/satanic acolytes home to hell with him.

    FotF, sorry to be so quick, have to hurry. First, thanks for the visit. Second, I made my second comment specifically because I know all about “psychological escapes”–I think that’s the phrase someone used–and am not really bothered by them. In fact THOSE imho are indeed deserved for, as again someone else mentioned, the shit they do to us. Plus I like the way Americans use humor to lash back at enemies.

    It’s just kinda uncool *I* think to be glad lowly individual people we know nothing about are dead or suffered or whatever. I’m not talking about people we know considered horrific crimes, etc. But as I say that’s just my opinion.

    Lisl – here’s whay I think G-d struck down those people in that Third World Shithole called Bangladesh:
    -they were just coming out of a mosque, a Satan-worshipping house of hate.
    -the “prayer leader”, aka mullah, aka Satan-inspired shit-stirrer, was one of those smited (smoten?) by G-d.
    -these Satan-worshipping JudeoChristian-haters had probably just been whipped up by their mullah into committing acts of Islamic Satan-worshipping terrorism against Christians and Jews.

    I’d say G-d nipped the problem in the bud.

    GS–”Probably”? I just don’t feel like mocking the dead based on “probably.” I don’t know how much they bought into the BS, who would like to get away, etc. I had to get away from something once, maybe that’s why I’m not in a big hurry to condemn them when I don’t know what their real motives were.

    if you were to say something like, “You must go on the other side of that as well,” I’d agree, and that’s why I’m not going to stand here trying to talk about how they are all innocent victims–I don’t know this to be true either.

    FotF, not to worry, I’m chilled. And if you like the real thing, what about Bosworth? Now *that* I lament.

    By the way, how do I put up a pic?

    Lets look for the good in the incident.

    I image there are 15-20 women there that won’t be beaten tonight, possibly another 50-70 child brides that may not have to marry an elderly man. Maybe their mothers won’t mutilate their genitals and maybe move them to a non-muslim area to be raised as normal non-muslim children who get to go to school. Ah, the possibilities these men dying, have created.

    I assume they were all men, because most woman are not allowed to got to the mosque.
