The golden mosque bombing!

Is the religion of Islam destroying everything, to include it's own religion? If they are not blowing up buses in Israel, crashing planes into buildings, or killing people because they feel offended, they are killing their own.

Today, Sunnis bombed one of the holiest Shiite mosques.

Quote:

Insurgents detonated bombs inside one of Iraq's holiest Shiite shrines Wednesday, destroying its golden dome and triggering more than 60 reprisal attacks on Sunni mosques. The president warned that extremists were pushing the country toward civil war, as many Shiites lashed out at the United States as partly to blame.

As the gold dome of the 1,200-year-old Askariya shrine lay in ruins, leaders on both sides called for calm: But the string of back-and-forth attacks seemed to push the country closer to all-out civil war than at any point in the three years since the U.S.-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

"We are facing a major conspiracy that is targeting Iraq's unity," said President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd. "We should all stand hand in hand to prevent the danger of a civil war."

Remember everyone complaining that "American troops can not go into mosques or shoot at people firing from mosques so we don't offend the religion?" But it is ok for other Muslims to destroy mosques?

Muslims can also go crazy and kill 30 people around the world because of a few cartoons "offended" Muslims, but they can blow up mosques and kill other Muslims they disagree with? I am completely baffled!

Honestly, I have come to realize Islam is an intolerant religion! The regimes in Iran, Saudi and other Muslim country are not tolerant of other religions and their populations are 97% Muslim. It is punishable by death to convert a Muslim and you are discriminated against if you are another religion. Then they expect the west to be tolerant of Islam or else!

Sunnis and Shi'ites kill each other simply due to a difference of who should lead the Muslim world. It is that simple! They are even intolerant of other Muslims!
