Not sure what actually happened there. Without a more credible and detailed report. Seems to me this could have been one of the many reported cases over the years from Iraq where one group of Muslims (Group A) was having a funeral procession and another group of Muslims (Group B) attacked Group A using a suicide bomb or IED or some such thing.
That clip is nothing short of horrifying. For a so called "Christian" website to be gloating over the death of all those people is just sickening.
Also, those are Free Syrian Army flags waving. The United States is providing military aid for these people.
This funeral was attacked. To gloat and make jokes is just sickening Westboro territory.
How could they have worded this senseless tragedy of those faithful servants of Allah being killed or injured by a martyr attack that would not be seen as gloating? Should they have cried and prayed at the loss of life? You know, like Islamists do after suicide attacks on non-Muslims...
Perhaps they should follow the example set by the Religion of Peace™. Or, maybe they did. At least they weren't dancing in the street.
That (OP) was framed as a Muslim funeral procession getting all blowed up because (supposedly, according to the caption) the Muslim funeral director forgot or did not know to remove a suicide bomb vest. Remove it from who? From the person that was about to be buried?
There is nothing from the OP to support that idea. Nothing to falsify the more likely explanation, that a group of Muslims was in the middle of a funeral when they were attacked by some rival or antagonistic group or faction. Where was this? When was this? Who was involved? What exactly happened? What were the group (or groups) that were captured on this video doing just before this happened? A minute before? A day before? A month before?
No worries. We don't need logic or facts to come up with another new stage prop, when the focus is on drawing amusement from a distorted and lopsided "funhouse mirror" portrait of Muslims all around the world.
I find similar skits or workups to be worthwhile--not this one, but more cerebral works. Like the dark and skillfully woven satires of Pat Condell.
Is there anyone truly dumb enough to take what the OP posted at face value--as journalism?
I make no accusation against the OP, not really knowing his attitude or motive in this case.

To my knowledge, before burial a Muslim is stripped of clothing and washed thoroughly before being wrapped in a white sheet. What is described in the video would be impossible under those circumstances...
Not to mention, isn't this the body they were carrying?: And that picture is directly after the explosion...

Oh, I get it. Finally. I was slow on the draw here. Very good.
I think it is actually "Allahu", but the "hu" at the end is silent (?), the way most jihadis pronounce it.
I have always wanted to ask one, but it's kind of hard to get up that close to a dismembered body (with all the other dismembered bodies scattered around, close by), and they tend to expire very quickly, before I could even put this small linguistic question to them.
Next time this happens, just get up there as close as you can and say "Wow. He just went out shouting the Takbir." You will probably earn some street creed with anyone close by.

Your post is a glimmering example of what not to say. But I didn’t expect the politically obsessed to let a good tragedy go to waste.
If the label of terrorist is in fact accurate the irony is fricken awesome.
If the label of terrorist is in fact accurate, I would not mind this happening all the time.
I think it is perfectly natural to enjoy these evil bastards demise, especially when it is by the same horrible means they so often and with great joy inflict on others.
Regardless of what was going on there, or who was at fault...
The middle east is a **** -hole. Regardless of the sect of Islam, they are all killing each other, bombing each other, and keeping each other down...
I realize the French and English had been raping the middle east over the past few hundred years, just like they did Africa... but at what point are they going to dig themselves out of this hole they're in? With the exception of the cities run by royalty (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, blah...), and the youth literally in the center of the major cities, the rest of the middle east is a **** -hole.
There is no way to figure out exactly what happened from that video, and no way to establish who these people were--other than "generic" Middle East or Af/Pak Muslims--and no way to determine why they were targeted (the plausible explanation) and targeted by whom, or how they came to be blowed all up by an accident of their own making (the highly implausible explanation offered by the blogger). There is no documentation of what, when, where and who this was about.
I suppose the CIA or some very shrewd and well positioned news analyst might be able to track down the answers to these questions. But without having any of that context, this video blog entry don't mean s**t. It doesn't signify anything that any one of us did not already know: That there's a s**t-load of damn stupid s**t going on every day in certain parts of the world that we are all extremely well acquainted with by now.
Why would anyone want to inflate this faux journalism many times above its base level? Why would anyone be so lame as to try to confer meaning on this sophomoric blog entry, by linking it with that long-gone-viral Internet meme "The Religion of Peace"? It absolutely reeks of desperation and banality on the part of anyone who would do that--and be serious about doing that.
Two weeks ago today, TheDigitalAlchemist started a topic "Don't define yourself by what you hate." Because if we define ourselves only by what we hate, then what are we?
Then, we are nothing.
