Ramadan death toll round-up, August 7, 2012

(Afghanistan) 8 people were killed when some stupid idiot decided to set off a roadside bomb as a passenger bus went by. The resulting explosion also injured 7 people. Elsewhere, 18 terrorists met their maker, while in a separate incident another roadside bomb killed a police chief and his 3 bodyguards when terrorist detonated a bomb they had fixed to a donkey.

(Pakistan) 4 policemen were killed and 12 people injured when peaceful idiots detonated a bomb as they passed by in their car.

(Bangladesh) It seems that the playing of a loudspeaker outside a mosque by one religious group offended the sensibilities of another religious group who also used the same mosque. So in the good, old-fashion Islamic tradition of peaceful negotiation, they had a fight during which one person was killed and 2 injured. Nice to see followers of the peaceful faith subscribing to the crap they tell everybody else about Ramadan being a time of peaceful reflection.

(Nigeria) Meanwhile in Nigeria, peaceful followers of Islam in the northern half of the country attacked a church, killing 20 people and injuring many others.

(Iraq) 2 separate attacks saw 4 policemen killed. The first was a gun attack on a police post in the city of Mosul, killing 3 policemen. The other saw a car bomb detonated as a police patrol went by, killing 1 and injuring 5. Also in Baghdad gunmen with silenced weapons shot dead 2 government workers. and in the Northern city of  Baiji a motorcycle bomb killed a policeman and injured 4 others.

(England) 33 year old woman beater Amjad Younis found out the hard way that attacking your wife and mother on the day you are released from prison (for assaulting them in the first place) only gets you extra prison time. 2 years extra prison time actually  Well its Ramadan and during his time of reflection Amjad must have seen the error of his ways and so in the only way he knew how in which to regain his honour, he took a rope and stretched his neck.

Ramadan death count moves up to 2,124.
