Islam's Holy Month, Ramadan, Begins In -- Surprise! -- Violence

Reuters reports that "a bomb killed 26 people in a Shi'a Muslim stronghold in east Baghdad on Saturday as Iraq's minority Sunnis began the fasting month of Ramadan, which United States commanders have warned may see a rise in sectarian bloodshed."

According to the Houston Chronicle, "a Sunni Arab extremist group killed at least 37 Shiites in Baghdad on Saturday as they stocked up on fuel for Ramadan, just days after the U.S. military warned that sectarian bloodshed could worsen during the Islamic holy month. The group said it carried out the bombing to avenge a Friday attack by a suspected Shiite death squad on Sunni Arab homes and mosques that killed four people in a mixed Baghdad neighborhood."

An Associated Press report published by ABC News states that "the Sunni militant group has claimed responsibility for numerous suicide attacks, the August 2004 execution of 12 Nepalese hostages and a December 2004 explosion at a U.S. military mess hall in Mosul that killed 22 people."

Well, not a whole lot I can add to that. Guess it's best to let the religion of peace speak for itself.
