Multible Terrorist strikes kill 44

Story: "In Sunday's bloodiest attack, gunmen in five sedans ambushed a convoy of buses carrying police recruits near the city of Baqouba 35 miles northeast of Baghdad, killing at least 15 and wounding 25 others, said provincial police chief Maj. Gen. Ghassan al-Bawi. The recruits were returning home after an induction ceremony at a police base south of Baqouba.
A series of bombs also ripped through a Baghdad market and bakery packed with holiday shoppers, killing at least nine people and injuring dozens, police said. The attack came a day after a massive bicycle-bomb and mortar attack on an outdoor market killed 19 and wounded scores in Mahmoudiyah, just south of the capital.
The Iraqi Islamic Party issued a statement blaming Shiite militiamen for the attack in Mahmoudiyah, 20 miles south of Baghdad. The Sunni organization claimed Shiite militiamen had killed 1,000 residents in the town since the start of the year
."

Ok, can we stop calling them 'insurgents'? They are officially terrorists and criminals now, killing police officers and innocent, islamic, Iraqi civilains.
Is this what islam teaches? Reckless killing across a nation, with no discrimination as to the target?

To emphasize this point:
"Sunday's killings raised to at least 950 the number of Iraqis who have died in war-related violence this month, an average of more than 40 a day. The toll is on course to make October the deadliest month for Iraqis since April 2005, when The Associated Press began tracking the deaths.
Until this month, the daily average had been about 27. The AP count includes civilians, government officials and police and security forces, and is considered a minimum based on AP reporting. The actual number is likely higher, as many killings go unreported.
"

And in the likely event you didn't know this, because I didn't, this last month has been Ramadan for muslims. Interesting that the killings of other muslims has doubled in the most religious month of the year for Islam.
And yet, through this entire month, we have not read or heard the outrage coming from the 'peaceful' section of the middle east, they just turn a blind eye to the situation, or in the case of Iran, aggrivate it with the spewing of hatred of the 'two satans', Isreal and the United States.

We're at war people.
