Better Stop Him Now! - AsiaNews.it has a report on Imam Muqtada Al-Sadr and a statement he just released threatening the allies that freed Iraqi from the murderous dictator, Saddam.
His statement is:
“We warn and advise everyone that the Iraqi people, under a veil of apathy, are ready and waiting and are capable of crushing their enemies. The memories of the Revolution in the 1920s (against British colonialism) and the Intifada Sha’abaniya (Shiite revolt in 1991 in the south during the Islamic month of Sha’aban and crushed by Sadaam Hussein) are still fresh in their minds."
I wonder if that means he knows where the WMD's are?
AsiaNews.it goes on to report:
The 24 year-old Imam Al-Sadr, a fierce enemy of Christians, Israel and the West, is considered the shadiest person of the post-Saddam Hussein era. He is the head of an anonymous movement, generically called the Sadr Front, and has armed military units (the Al-Mahdi army) and has set up headquarters in the Baghdad neighborhood of Al-Thawra.
The movemnent's [sic] political agenda is one of the most clearly fundamentalist programs in Iraq. Its program is against secularity and western culture. Unlike his greatest rival, Ayatollah Al-Sistani, Imam Sadr has never uttered the word “democracy” during his sermons nor mentioned any future possibility of living together with other ethnic and religious minority communities in Iraq.
He reportedly is running a prison for people who violated Islamic law. That is under investigation at the moment. I hope someone is looking to put a stop to this man now.
