Female bomber kills 12 in Kabul to avenge film

Kabul, Sept 18: A female suicide bomber killed 12 people in Kabul today in the deadliest single attack claimed to avenge a US film that has sparked a week of deadly protests across the Muslim world.
The attack brings to more than 30 the number of people now killed in a violent backlash over a YouTube trailer for the film, believed to have been produced by a small group of extremist Christians.
Security officials said nine foreigners were among those killed on a major highway leading to Kabul airport and close to a wedding hall when the bomber blew her station wagon up alongside a minivan carrying foreign workers.
An AFP photographer saw at least six bodies lying among the wreckage of a gutted minivan, and another vehicle destroyed by flames still burning in the middle of the highway, with debris flung all around.
Hezb-i-Islami, the second largest insurgent group after the Taliban who have been fighting US-led troops and the government for 10 years, claimed the attack.
"The bombing was carried out by a woman named Fatima. The bombing was in retaliation for the insult to our Prophet," spokesman Zubair Sidiqi told AFP in a telephone from an undisclosed location. It is extremely rare for the faction to claim a suicide attack in Afghanistan.
It is also rare for women to carry out suicide attacks. Taliban fighters last week stormed a British-run airfield, killing two US Marines and destroying six US fighter jets also to avenge the film.
A week of furious protests outside US embassies and other American symbols in at least 20 countries have killed 19 other people, including the American ambassador to Libya and three other US diplomats in the North African country.

This just sickens me, 8 of the 12 were from South Africa, all were supporting their families by going over there to pilot the helicopters.

This shit has got to end... Why do I feel like only a handful of Muslims are against these "protests"?

[Ratko Gavrilovic]

If you don't like the movie, don't watch it, or just protest against it?
Murdering innocent people? Eat crap.

That is the thing they dont understand 

[Devin]

They believe killing others because of a video is for the greater good? What on earth are they smoking? They come along and kill innocent people for what?
They honestly have no mentality of humanity, for example, this is written in regards to the South Africans that were killed in the suicide bombing;

"The South African government believes in peaceful means to settle disputes and/or conflicts and we strongly condemn the use of violence, particularly violence targeted at innocent civilians."

That's how you deal with things, not go and kill innocent people for a video they had nothing to do with.

Some more information in regards to this here.

People are getting killed all over the world and you are complaining about what happening in Afghanistan by the media. Good perceptive.

[Devin]

Innocent people are being killed because of a video, a video that has no meaning, a video that is pure garbage and they're getting all worked up about it and killing innocent civilians because of it.

[Alan.Wake]

Innocent people are getting killed over many things. Oil or so it was in Iraq, 100,000+ civilians were counted dead, the rebellion in Libya and now in Syria. You really think that it the people hand on this? What if they got paid as said by Arab news channels here or a group got paid to rally others up. What if all this was planned for a bigger plan? It clearly showing that whatever group is behind all this, is doing so to weaken the Islamic countries. Think big, not small.

Sure, if you can not deny it were Muslim, start a conspiracy theory.
Open your eyes and let the hate out of your heart.

Try harder and maybe an atom of my hate might escape.
