   If there be a genuine clash of civilizations in this world, then it
   rages only between the civilized folk of the world and the barbarians.
   [1]Case in point:

     A suicide bomber struck a Shiite mosque during Friday prayers in
     Baghdad, killing at least 10 people and wounding 20, police said,
     as violence persisted in the capital despite a massive security
     operation aimed at restoring order.

     Police Lieutenant Thaer Mahmoud said the attacker blew himself up
     at the Buratha mosque in northern Baghdad.

     Mahmoud said the bomber was wearing an explosive belt, but Jalal
     Eddin al-Sagheer, the preacher at the mosque and one of the
     country's leading politicians, however, said the explosives were
     inside a worshipper's shoes.

     He said guards first arrested a suspected attacker after
     discovering explosives as they were searching shoes left outside
     the mosque. The bomber blew himself up when confronted by the
     guards as they began searching worshippers with shoes beside them
     inside the mosque, al-Sagheer said. [...] It was the second time
     the mosque has been hit in just over two months. The Buratha mosque
     also was attacked during Friday prayers on April 7, when four
     suicide bombers, including a woman, set off their explosives,
     killing at least 85 worshippers as they left the mosque after the
     main weekly religious service.

     The U.S. military blamed that attack on Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the
     Al Qaeda in Iraq leader who was killed last week in a U.S.
     airstrike. The terror group issued a statement Tuesday vowing to
     avenge Zarqawi's death and threatening horrific attacks "in the
     coming days."

   It is as if they desire to "kill all of mankind" ([2]5:32-33).

   (masjid - or place of sajd/prostration - is the correct word for
   "mosque")
