I’ve spent the last 30+ minutes trying to figure out what to write. I tend to have a difficult time with words but never like this. By now you’ve probably heard about the devastating explosion that took place at a mosque today during prayers. As of this post at least 13 people are reportedly. I’ve been getting a steady supply of photos and videos via Whatsapp of this tragedy but I won’t be sharing any of them here out of respect. It’s so sad, I can’t believe this happened. If you want to stay up to do date on whats going on, please use this [Link]
This is heartbreaking, may they all rest in peace.

#ONEKUWAIT. This is devastating. May Allah bless the souls of those who died and healing to those who were injured.
Thank you for not posting the photos, some websites and FB pages are just too insensitive to offer respect.
What happened today is a devestating tragedy for all of us. Mark can you please add to your post for people to donate blood today? There isnt enough blood in the blood bank and we need help to get more blood. The blood bank is accepting blood from 7:30pm to 10AM
#onekuwait
Please post this on the blog, Mark.
Just heard in the official radio that they don’t have shortage but people are still welcomed to donate starting from tomorrow … So far 500 people donated before Iftar today and many other after Iftar…
I donate blood at Saturday. There is no shortage, but they still need negative type blood. If anyone have A-, B-, O- or AB- blood and good health condition please donate.
Absolute tragedy. Words fail me. Monsters. Complete monsters.
May the innocent dead rest in peace and the families of those dead and injured find some peace.
And may the monster who did this rot for eternity in hell where he belongs.
Most unfortunate indeed, May Allah show the right path to misguided too. Amen!
A bit weird coming from el diablo himself, but thanks.
I don’t want this to escalate, please refrain from poking. I am not even Muslim if you are trying to provoke me. You are human first. Then anything else.
May they all rest in peace, and may terrorism go to the absolute hell. Thanks mark for your sympathy.
Sad day today. Terrorist attacks all over the world even Kuwait. 🙁
RIP 🙁
Thoughts and prayers with everyone affected by this brutal and mindless action.
I cannot think a more self-destructive species than us.
RIP
Stick together people.
Well said Tj #onekuwait
I just woke up, I’m obviously not living in Kuwait.
I see this shit happening and I’m fucking concerned, who the fuck would do such a disgusting act.
This is unacceptable, my heart goes to the families of the deceased. I’m just speechless.
The suicide bomber is a Saudi citizen
28 people died
Still to confirmed … so do not accuse a sister country…
born & raised in Kuwait. What does the nationality have to do with anything?
Usually when suicide bombings happen, people identify the suicide bomber by his nationality and name. ‘raised’ part is not confirmed, but the bomber’s citizenship is verified. Don’t take it personally, no one blames specific country or specific nationality. ISIS is against all countries and humanity as a whole.
Born in Kuwait with saudi citizenship. truth is, 99% of these problems arise from our not so innocent country next door.
He wasn’t born in Kuwait, that’s a rumour that turned out false.
He was born and raised in Saudi Arabia:

He had never flown on an airplane before June 26, it was his first time inside an airplane. He traveled from Riyadh to Kuwait via transit in Bahrain.
KSA & Kuwait are one country!
If it wasn’t for the not so innocent country your little country wouldn’t be here!
of course he is
The savages aim to destabilize the country and pit the sunnis against the shia’s. This is not Islam. This is the enemy of Islam. May the sane world organize against the barbarians and win.
There is only one thing that should be done. Hunt all of them down and exterminate them. They dont deserve a fair trial or anything. If they think they can terrorize the people, they must be shown true fear.
Which should have been done a long time ago.
too late. you all should have done something sooner instead of relaxing in your air condition coffee shops
Oh yea like that worked out so well for US in preventing another attack. Nothing ever happened in Boston or Texas since 9/11.
Please enlighten us since your such a expert in international affairs.
It just occurred to me, we haven’t had anything of this magnitude since the invasion of 1990. This day should be marked in our history.#onekuwait
My hunch was right to GTFO, so GTFO when you still can.
For those who can’t, stay safe.
It’s just like what happened in the east coast of Saudi 🙁
الله يرحمهم.
RIP, the dearly departed!
الله يرحمهم.
May God rest all the souls of our shuhada in peace. This a tragedy and no matter which country or individuals are behind it Kuwait will stay strong #onekuwait . Politics and religion should not be intertwined together to achieve either. And using religion to kill innocent people is 7aram and filthy. Hell has a place for people like that. I hope they catch the cell responsible and hang them in public! Hate eats the individual’s soul from the inside, everyone should have peace, love, and compassion no matter of race, religious belief, sex orientation, wealth, or social status and we will all live happy and prosper. Allah may have mercy on their souls.
So strange – I also decided to GTFO – i hated living in Kuwait because of expat treatment and was in the air on my one way ticket.
then in London I hear the news. And all I can think about is coming back home and, regardless of whether people consider me a local or not, do anything I possibly can for my country Kuwait.
It literally feels like my heart is broken. #onekuwait – locals and expats.
was really sad hearing this news. I grew up near the area. everyone who loves kuwait is hurting right now.
how great those good old peaceful days I remember of kuwait. may the families be comforted and the country remain safe.
It is time to prepare to leave, soon this will escalate.
Run away from whom and what? Are you planning to move to North/South Pole? Live it and face it.
no back to the USA. So from your comment are you planning to go to Iraq or Syria to get the Muslims there to all live in peace and sing “Kumbaya”. Oh wait they already have the perfect Muslim society no singing allowed.
Enjoy living it and facing it!
I am not the one who said I am running away.
We are with you Kuwait. Let’s stay united and face this together.
This is the time for all of us living in Kuwait to be united, irrespective of our religion, our nationality…
Leaving will prove nothing but the fact that the country which has provided us a safe haven for all these years, we have never cared about it.. I am an expat and I do care about this country!!! This is the time to stand together and get the message out… This is #ONEKUWAIT..
unless of course life here was never a safe haven for many of us. all too soon we forget raped, murders and deportation.
NO Kuwait does not deserve this – but let’s not for a moment pretend that Kuwait was this unified amazing place where expats and kuwaitis were treated equally, where shia and sunni got along – so on and so forth. I love Kuwait – but we’ve had a bad ethic in terms of sectarianism, racism, inequality from day 1
I can’t believe this is what you are thinking after this tragedy.
there are more rapes, musrders and other uglyness in your country than there is in Kuwait. So, there is no way around this and i have to say it. If you don’t like how things are GTFO like the cowardly commenters above you
I’m not getting sucked into this but you dont know which country im from so your comments are invalid. I am simply pointing out that in a country that is FAMOUS for dividing people based on every difference, claims that we are somehow totally innocent ourselves are nonsense.
I don’t live in Kuwait because I got tired of the racism and inequality and moved to my country which is cosmopolitan and focused on equality. But regardless, the comment I was making was pointing out how in a country that has lived by these values for decades, these things fester under the surface. Is it any wonder that Jihadi John also comes from Kuwait? That several countries ban maids from coming to Kuwait? that this has now happened? do i think any of these things make what happened deserved? of course not
But the way we were, something was bound to happen.
Jihadi John doesn’t come from Kuwait. He is not Kuwaiti, do some research before spouting bullshit. Jihadi John was raised in the UK, he was merely born in Kuwait and moved to the UK at very early age. He was not raised in Kuwait.
He’s British citizen. His parents are Iraqi immigrants who pretend to be bedoon. Many so-called bedoon are undocumented Iraqi immigrants. Jihadi John is of Iraqi ancestry.
+1
Does it really make a difference what nationality the M****R F****R was or from which country he came from from???
My country was attacked.. Yes I said it My country.. I was born here , raised here ,lived here , ate and drank from this land the fruits and water that it provided. So those of you who think that I am wrong in saying “My country” because I don’t have the right passport then Tuff!! Get over it!! How you feel or look at it really doesn’t concern me.
As far as I am concerned a fatted ingrate asshole who has lived of the free benefits of his country got his head all fucked up by another radical asshole came into this country, met up with another ingrate asshole who took him to holy place and cheered the SOB on to blow himself up promising him a 1000 virgins for his deed.
Some one should have told the asshole you like tail so much?? head to Thailand you would get more bang for your buck there and you wouldn’t need to splatter yourself all over the wall, kill, hurt and maim innocent men , women and children.
Regardless of nationality , race or religion the person who did this was plain evil. The people who supported him were evil and deserve to burn in hell. They need to be brutally and mercilessly hunted down and be given a new breathing hole in the center of their forehead.. a message needs to be sent out. This is not Iraq or Yemen or Tunis or France or Somalia .. This is Kuwait .. we are one .. and if you bring this shit into our land we are going to hunt you down and burn you. ( You don’t deserve a burial)
No shit like Innocent until proven guilty. You are guilty period!! you associate with terrorists then you are one and deserve to be treated like one.
If they happen to be ungrateful locals strip them and their families of their rights and nationality , try the perpetrators in court (give them their 02 cents)and then hang them.
If they are ungrateful expatriates regardless if they are black ,blue , white, brown, yellow, orange or purple. Try them in court, hang them and deport their families immediately. All of them.. Don’t bother with appeals. Make it quick and fast.
Send the message out.. Don’t F**K with us. Take your radical ideas and pervert thoughts of what religion should be some where else. Other wise you will face consequences and the wrath of a united people.
Yes I said united because regardless of you are , where you come from or which God you worship, there is one thing that is common among all and that is a distinct abhorrence of non violence and love for peaceful coexistence.
As for the Assholes… Decency , Law of Land and Human Rights be dammned!! The assholes did not take into account the Human Rights of the innocent victims when they decided to kill them
May God, Allah, Buddha, Vishnu , Brahma, Guru Nanak or who ever else is up there in the celestial abode bless and keep safe the land of my birth. My country .. My home.
Well said!
It’s cringe-worthy when people like you post their love of Kuwait and how they consider themselves “Kuwaiti”. Get a life.
If he feels that he belongs to Kuwait then he belongs… and you can’t do anything about it
Everyone is hurt! Please avoid connecting nationalities with profession. May God, Allah Bless you too!
Iam an Indian born and brought up here in kuwait.
I was deeply hurt and shocked to see this country being hit with such cruel acts of terror. Though my feelings may be not a concern to the people of this country, but since i consider this as my second home and i will always support the upliftment and unity of this country and its people. I urge all citizens of this country to be unified and not to fall in the brain washes of these terror minded sick people who divide brothers and sisters , parents and children with their stupid ideaolgy of killing and harming other to only fulfill their motto. The people of kuwait are one , there is no sunna or shia when it comes to this country. There is only one religon and that reigon is GOD. God means good , God means love, God means share, care .. people who come up with theories to split people can go to hell. Iam a christian and i pray honeslty and deep from my heart to protect this country , its people and the ruling family from the evil. Hail Kuwait
Hey Aj ..I never claimed to be Kuwaiti… Never have never will. I know my roots nd am extremely proud of who I am nd where I come from. So you get a life. You sound like you need one. And oh yeah feel free to cringe all you want its a free country. Coz no matter how much u cringe I m still going to love this country more than you ever will. Nd I don’t need permission from anyone to do so. Its called freedom of expression. Look it up.
Devil.
Hi , I never connected any nationality to any profession. I commented on stated facts as they were stated on the official news media. And I stand by what I said in my first regardless of nationality, religion or ethnicity who ever planned this and carried out this heinous deed is in my eyes a terrorist nd deserves to be dealt with brutally. No matter what the circumstances this act can nevet be justified .
Ugh. So cringe-worthy. So many chips on your shoulder from being a foreigner in Kuwait.
WTF? The man says he loves Kuwait! Why do you have such a big problem with that? You’re free to like or hate it, but leave others alone!
Plz reply to Aj instead of creating a new cascade. Simple curtsey.
