And did I mention the Jews?
From Al Jezzera, today:
Dr Harith al-Dhari, secretary-general of the Association of Muslim Scholars, the highest Muslim Sunni authority in Iraq, blamed foreign powers such as Israel for the attacks. He described the attackers as those parties interested in plunging Iraq into civil war.
"Let us analyse the incident and find out who would benefit from such carnage," he said.
"No Iraqi is interested in perpetuating the state of chaos, but there are parties like the occupation and Israel interested in prolonging the period of occupation.
"They know very well that civil war would make the life of the occupiers easier in Iraq."
Civil war will make it easier? That is the reason for the US being behind these murders? Isreal? Isreal was responsible for these bombings? For what reason?
They con tinue onward:
"An Iraqi citizen would not attack a mosque, and a Muslim would not attack Muslims, these are red lines in our people's ideology," he said.
Yeah, red lines until it is convienient to cross them.
Naturally, if the US hammered what really was going on people would accuse the US of fostering anti-islam sentiment.
Fah.
Edit: Sorry, I assume that everyone reads Al Jezzera in the original Arabic every morning as I do.... Here is an English link (they actually are pretty good)
