WOAH! Iraqi's pissed!

[-HaVoC-]

Oh my friggin god the damn media found a story that isn't partisan, that actually speaks to the fact that most muslims are not fanatics and are actually people that want to get on with their lives.

"a group calling itself the "Salvation Movement," questioned how al-Zarqawi could use Islam to justify the killing of innocent civilians, the targeting of government officials and the kidnapping and beheading of foreigners."

[Colonel Ingus]

How much support does Sadr have?
It’s not clear. Some experts estimate Sadr has a few thousand fanatical supporters—largely those in the Imam Mehdi army—willing to take up arms on his behalf. Coalition officials estimate that Sadr’s hardcore supporters range between 300 and 3,000 men, says Drew Brown, a Knight Ridder correspondent in Baghdad reporting on the issue. “It’s a fringe movement, certainly, but anyway you look at it, I think that the numbers alone constitute a threat to public order,” Brown says. In addition, some experts say that there are hundreds of thousands of additional Iraqis who are “passive” Sadr supporters. They owe Sadr some allegiance out of respect for his lineage and because of the services his social network provides, but, until recently, were not willing to stand up to the Americans on his behalf. But as anger at the occupation has grown among Shiites, experts say, so have the number of committed Sadr followers.

Who does he oppose in the Shiite hierarchy?
He is a rival of the traditional senior Iraqi Shiite clerics led by the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani. Sistani, 72, has counseled patience with the U.S. occupation and retains the allegiance of most of Iraq’s 14 million Shiites, experts say. Sadr has called for the immediate withdrawal of the occupation forces and directed Shiites not to cooperate with them. His apparent goal, some Iraq experts say, is to establish an Islamic theocracy. Sistani, in contrast, has backed some form of Islamic democracy.

Basically al-Sadr is an easily influenced and poorly educated, especially in theocracatic matters, younger guy. His standing is pretty much based on who his senior family members are. He surrounds himself with young hotheads who talk him into ill advised moves.

al-Sistani and the rest of the more moderate (And hugely in the majority) Shiite's told him to STFU and sit down.

He listened.... so far.

Here's is a quick bio-link that I copied the above paragraphs from.

This is good. I reall hope they get al-Zarqawi (sp). He is a smacktard and a loser. If I was an admin, I'd kick and ban him off my server!!!!:freak:

[cavalierlwt]

Even the insurgents that want America out right now are starting to recognize that Al Zarqawi is going after Iraqis more than he is going after Coalition troops. There's no doubt they want us out, but they apparently don't want the world to see Islam defined by Zarqawi.

hopefully this starts a good trend where nations that breed terrorists will finally start making threats to take matters into their own hands... then their govt's (at least hopefully) will be forced to do something about it.

Roger that King o' beers.

That would be A-ok with me.

In actuality most Americans don't want to be the worlds policeman and we would prefer if they took care of their problems so we can sit around fat dumb and happy.

Good post Ingus...here's hopping that Zarqawi runs into some Shira justice. And yes, I would say that 'ShaYD' is most definately a wannabe suburb 'gangsta. I teach at a inner-city school and my students don't like wannabe's too much. So, to use the vernacular ShaYD, "keep it real"

Translation to English:

Hello, sir. In my humble opinion, the current state of events in Iraq is unquestionably out of control. I'm curious as to how you would feel if you were beheaded for no apparent reason. Personally, I would like to see an end to senseless violence and I also suggest that a removal of our troops in Iraq is warranted. Perhaps, the Iraqi people are capable of running their own country and bringing about a democratic society without the assistance of the United States, the United Kindgom and our associated allies.

Tru dat, dawg!

Great work Hightimber. It is good to have multilingual people on these forums.

I kinda miss Slim Shaydy. Back on topic however, have they found anymore evidence to his whereabouts or what going on with the Iraqi cock monger.

I try to go to as many sources as possible to find and verify my information. Its help when you try to avoid talking out of your ass too often. (Not that I always avoid that:D )

But they are watching! Beware. See http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/07/08/congress.patriotact.ap/index.html

....Rep. Bernard Sanders, I-Vermont, and Rep. C.L. Butch Otter, R-Idaho, led the effort to block one section of the law that lets authorities get special court orders requiring book dealers, libraries and others to surrender records such as purchases and Internet sites visited on a library computer. They contended the provision undermines civil liberties and threatens to let the government snoop into the reading habits of innocent Americans...

Sanders and Otter's effort failed.

Werd.

News.... something these fourms can't handle.

But it's nice to know that Iraqis are working together for the embetterment of a new free Iraq.

We aren't exactly what you'd call "freinds" with the iraqis, but as a whole, they are trying to work together to get us out as fast as possible.
