Iraq experiences its bloodiest day in nearly two months with at least 70 people killed across the country. Different parts of Baghdad saw successive explosions on Monday. In the worst attack, a double car bombing killed at least 24 Karbala pilgrims and wounded 52 others. Meanwhile, a sticky bomb explosion in Baghdad killed at east 17 people and injured 43 others. In Mosul, militants gunned down 12 people on a bus. Explosions also targeted the city of Tikrit, northwest of Baghdad. Violence in Iraq has risen drastically in recent months. Monday\'s bombings were the latest episode in a wave of violence that has roiled Iraq since the beginning of the year.

Hundreds of people marched at the entrance of al-Yarmuk refugee camp in Damascus in an attempt to reach out to their sick relatives. They were hoping for a successful outcome of an initiative launched by several Syria-based Palestinian factions to evacuate over three hundred sick people trapped inside the camp. But anxious relatives failed to meet their loved ones. Red Crescent teams were ordered to retreat as armed groups opened gunfire at the humanitarian groups who tried to help the sick out, causing the initiative to fail. This is not the first such initiative to fail. Previously, several armed extremist groups such as the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front foiled peace initiatives and remained occupying the camp. In 2012, tens of civilians were killed and thousands of others displaced after foreign-backed militants targeted the same refugee camp. According to the doctors in charge of following up the initiative, dozens of sick people remain trapped inside al-Yarmouk refugee camp in Damascus. With the lack of basic needs inside, many families here see no end to the humanitarian crisis in the near future.

The attacks are the latest in a chain of deadly violent incidents hitting Iraq over the last months. The Iraqi government blames al-Qaeda-linked groups for the deadly unrest. Official figures show more than a thousand people lost their lives in violent attacks across Iraq last month alone.

Another day of bloodshed in Iraq. At least 22 people are killed in mortar attacks on a town south of the capital Baghdad.

The town, which is close to the Shia-dominated city of Hillah, had been a former stronghold of insurgents. A bomb attack in the same town on Tuesday claimed five lives. Iraq has been witnessing a surge in attacks by al-Qaeda-linked militants for more than six months now. Reports say over 15-hundred civilians and security forces have been killed since the beginning of this year. That\\\'s in addition to 68-hundred people who lost their lives there last year.

At least 717 people have been killed and nearly 805 others injured in a crush during Hajj pilgrimage rituals outside Mecca. According to Saudi disaster officials, the incident occurred in Mina, near Mecca, at 9 am local time (0600 GMT) after two large masses of pilgrims coming down streets 204 and 223 fused together. The incident took place as people were heading to participate in the symbolic stoning of Satan.

Christianity Under Question! | Imam Khomeini (R) The impression today\'s Christianity has painted in people\'s mind is that Christianity is all about LOVE, AFFECTION, and CARE etc. Yet, while we see millions of people subjected to oppression and cruelty, we find Christian authorities and scholars to be quiet! Is it not ironic? Where is that love and passion for the needy and the oppressed? Where is your support for the dying kids of Yemen; where is your support for the innocent Palestinians; where is your support for all the oppressed people of the world who are waiting for your love, affection, and care! What would Jesus do to stop the oppression?! #Christmas #Xmas #Christianity #Christians #Pope #Jesus #QUESTION!

Seven Special Scenarios To Find Sincerity | Shaykh Farukh Sekaleshfar Shaykh Farukh Sekaleshfar eloquently expands on seven scenarios to do with mustahhab fasting, contemplating over which will open the doors to all acts of worship. This will change your life, the way you see your own actions and the way you view the people around us. There are billions of people on earth and around 1 out of 5 of them are Muslims... Everyone acts according to what he/she deems best, and some will justify thinking in a certain way. But only a very, very few actually find sincerity. How do we perfect our actions, whether Salah, Zakah or fasting? How do we know whether what we are doing is truly for the sake of Allah? How do we know that there is no Shirk hiding deep within the bosom of the worshipper when he worships? #Islam #Quran #Ahlulbayt #Sincerity #Deeper #Spirituality #Love #ScholarClip
