FREEDOM FROM TERROR For All

Why Iran is Angry: Iraq is the Mason Dixon Line Between the Shiite and Sunni Worlds

So here you go. The majority of the Islamic world is Sunni, eighty percent. The Sunni world's base is in Saudi Arabia.

The other twenty percent or so are Shiite. Their base is in Iran. Much of Iraq used to be Iran. It was carved up at the behest of Saudi Arabia.

Persian Shiites were forced to become Persian Arabs. To be called an Arab is a huge insult to a Persian. They are Persian. However when Iraq was reformed the Shiites of the South had no choice but to become Arabs.

Then came the Iran-Iraq War. Men who were of Persian decent were forced to fight against their own people. This did not sit well with people to say the least.

When Saddam captured Shiites he killed them. When Iran captured Shiites, they forgave them and retrained them. These are the insurgents in the South. They know their turf and they are fighting to reunify their original homeland, the Shiite capital, the land of the Persians.

This is where Muqtad Al Sadr and his men come in and actually make sense.

Where it stops making sense is the hatred of others such as the US, Israel and the West. If anything, the very people they claim to hate are making it easier for them to one day reclaim their land.

The Shiite people have been oppressed in much of the Islamic world and deserve a break like many others. That being said, they should think about their own regime and how it makes others feel, including women and other minorities within its own borders.

They want justice and they deserve it, but they also have to learn to live and let live.

Acting like the Sunni militants makes them no better than the Sunni militants.

Al Sadr befriending Zarqawi or Iran hiding Ayman Al-Zarahiri or threatening Israel and the West with nuclear attacks does not endear them to people who want to hear their case.

Lastly, 75% of Iran wants democracy desperately. One day they will get it. The worse they are repressed now the more they will fight back later. the old guard needs to let down their guard.

Message to Zarqawi: We all Want al_Sadr's Head WHAT THIS MEANS

Message To Zarqawi: We Want Al-Sadr's Head---What This Message Means

Found on the internet in on an AQ affiliated website, there are two things of importance going on here. First, since this is coming from Jerusalem it may well be Hamas "declaring" a war of sorts on Hesbellah.

Second, one must understand that this message is more than just the Sunni Shiite hatred of lore. It has to do with what was written here on the first days of this blog regarding Tal Afar.

The article is not only written by a fellow Sunni but a fellow Palestinian (in Jerusalem). Zarqawi is a Jordanian of Palestinian decent. Over 80 percent of Jordan is of Palestinian decent and of the Muslims of the country, it is claimed to be 100% Sunni.

Tal Afar is where the Turkmen Shiites live. They are rabid followers of radical Shiite cleric Muqtad Al-Sadr who is backed by Iran and hesbellah. Nonetheless Al-Sadr and Zarqawi became "friends".

Under the Al Sadr/Zarkawi alliance, terrorists, Baathists, and kidnapped victims alike lived in safe houses together throughout Tal Afar. Please see Scott Taylor's story for more details.

Newly elected Iraqi (Shiite) President Jafa'ari struck a deal with this renegade group of Shiites to bring them into the fold with the country's majority Shiite population and their quest for moderation, independence and freedom. This was also what most of the people of Tal Afar wanted, as they were unwittingly brought into all of this and were very very tired.

So the Turkmen of Tal afar struck a deal with President Jafa'ari. In return for military protection they would turn over everything they know regarding aQ in their community, and there was A LOT to tell.

This explains a lot of the recent rage from the Sunnis against the Shiites, but this has been going on long before this alliance or it's break up. It is no wonder al-Sadr is taking some of the fall. He is after all, the one who got them into this and they are the ones who are paying with their lives as they are being beheaded and executed daily by what remains of AQ in the area.

Sunnis Killed More Shiites in Iraq Today During Ramadan Services

At Least 25 Killed in Iraq Mosque Blast
At Least 25 Killed, 87 Wounded in Bomb Explosion at Entrance of Shiite Mosque in Hillah, Iraq

HILLAH, Iraq Oct 5, 2005 — A bomb exploded at the entrance of a Shiite Muslim mosque south of Baghdad as hundreds of worshippers gathered for prayers on the first day of Ramadan and for the funeral of a man killed in an earlier bombing. At least 25 people were killed and 87 wounded.

The explosion hit the Husseiniyat Ibn al-Nama mosque, ripping through strings of light-bulbs and green and red flags hung around the entrance to celebrate the start of the holy month. The mosque's facade was ravaged, shops nearby were detroyed and several nearby cars were damaged.

It was the second major bomb attack in a week in Hillah, one of the most insurgent-hit towns in southern Iraq, the heartland of the Shiite majority. Al-Qaida in Iraq, one of the country's deadliest militant groups, has called for stepped up attacks during Ramadan and has declared an all-out war on Iraq's Shiites.

The blast, which police believed was caused by a planted explosive, killed at least 25 people and wounded at least 87, said Dr. Adnan al-Nashtah of the city's health department.

The explosion detonated on the sidewalk next to the mosque's entrance at 6 p.m. as hundreds of men gathered at the mosque, located in the center of Hillah, for prayers before returning home to eat the meal that ends the day's sunrise to sunset fast.

Others were there for a funeral service being held inside the mosque for the funeral of a restaurant owner who was killed by a bomb that ripped through his restaurant Monday.

"While I was praying, I heard a huge blast and realized parts of the mosque were crumbling over my head," said one survivor, Asaad Jassem, 35. "Some parts of the mosque's ceiling fell onto worshippers, I saw people on the ground bleeding."

Haj Mohammed Abdullah, 45-year-old shopkeeper, had closed his store to come pray.

"We heard an explosion and then I fainted. I woke up when policemen splashed water over my face, and I saw all the damage, the martyrs and the wounded," he said. "Wow could they do that?" he cried, referring to the attackers.

Kuwaiti Sheikh Spews Al Q Tal Afar Propaganda

Kuwaiti Sheikh Spews Al Q Tal Afar Propaganda

Kuwaiti Sheikh Hamed Al-Ali blames attacks on Tal Afar and other Iraqi cities on "Shi'ite-Crusaders" coallition.

SUMMARY

In a statement issued @9/12/05 Sheikh Hamed Al Ali claimed tat the raids on Tal_Afar and othher Iraqi cities were "clear indications of a devilish alliance" and labeled it the "Shiite Crusaders' Attack". He alleges the attacks are and were specifically aimed at Sunnis and designed to start a war on the one true Islam.

it is esssential to note here that Al-Ali was released from a Kuwaiti prison in July of this year. this followed a two year suspeded sentence for opposing Kuwait's support for the US position in Iraq.

Al-Ali supports the claim that poisonous gasses were used in operations by the Shiites and that these and other acts "constitute war crimes". He compares the current regime in Iraq to that of Sadaam Hussein accept that this is worse because it seeks to divide everyone along religious lines and its ultimate goal is the irradication of the Sunni people. He urges all Arabs to stop being silent, wake up, and support their brothers which is the obligation of every able Muslim.

TRANSLATION

I have heard of the calamities in Tal Afar and other Iraqi cities. I have heard what the Jaafari government and the Shiites who are allied with the Crusaders are doing to the Sunni people. This is a hateful and devilish alliance. it is no longer a secret. it was published all over their own media. this alliance is biased against the religion of Islam and its people.

This alliance enters Sunni cities and singles out the Sunni people only. then they hurt, torture, kill and slaughter them like cattle.

They use the false cover known as "the War on Terror". This is a lie and everyone knows it. Their real aim is to start a war on Islam and to materialize human targets manufactured by the cursed Crusaders, the hating Zionists, and the traitorous Shiites.

Both the foreign and Arab medias exchanged statement upon statement about this. Scholars in Iraq have given statements to the media outlets as well. All collaborate to show that the Jaafari government is working with the "occupying forces" to eliminate the "Ethinic Sunnis" ( MY COMMENT: same thing used in Sunni Bosnia, Kosovo, Chencnya, etc).

Sunnis are regularly jaled and suffer all kinds of torture and punishment, just for being Sunni.

Nowadays the Sunni cities are being invaded, one at a time. They began with Tal Afar where they used poisonous gas which is a Weapon of Mass Destruction. They have only just begun.

This reminds me of what the regime of Sadaam Hussein used to do when punishing opponents. The current "fabricated regime" which is doing the dirty work for the (US) occupyers, punish the Sunni and are attempitng to eliminate their entire ethnic group.

This regime is driven by blind revenge whose aim is to divide the Iraqis among religious lines and squeeze the Sunnis out of Iraq completely. The want Iraq to be a playing field for Shiites, Zionists (Greater Israel), and Crusaders, as well as "bad" Arabs and traitors.

This is happening while Arabs sit back and remain silent. The Arab people are used to this silence from their 'relaxed" governments. these same governments blacken thheir media so the people do not see the reality of what is happening to their Sunni brothers and sisters.

Those who support such nations in denial have forgotten that Allah will punish you for this silence. He will send those who hate the Sunni people to do the same to you as well. You must wake up now people! Every able Muslim must support the cause by any means. You must help the Sunni people in their disaster in Iraq! You must uncover what the "devilish alliance" has done and call on all Sunnis for support and help on this Jihad.

The Crux of the Current Shia Sunni Conflict in a Nutshell

The Crux of the Current Shia Sunni Conflict in a Nutshell

So the Shiites and the Sunnis hate each other. The
Shiites are predominantly in the South.

BUT.......the Turkmen tribe, yes the same ones who
kidnapped Scott Taylor a few years back (what a small
world indeed) ARE SHIITE, or predominantly so. They
are a tribe, like the Kurds accept the Kurds are
Sunni.

The Turkmen and the Kurds both have the same struggle
going on: oppression from all sides. Namingly, Iraq
and TURKEY. The Kurds also have been oppressed by Iran
because Iran wraps around to the Northeast of Iraq and
it is a Shiite country, thus it oppresses it's
minority Kurds.

The opposite is the case for the Shiite Turkmen, who
are bordering WITH SYRIA, WHICH IS ALSO WHERE A LOT OF
THE MUJAHDIN ARE COMING FROM.

Anyway, the Turkmen, who speak TURKISH AND ARABIC
COMBINED, HAVE A MAJOR BEEF WITH TURKEY (like the
Kurds, only worse because the Turks are Sunni).
Oppression and religious discrimination. As a result,
THE TURKMEN ARE NOT MODERATE SHIITES, unlike most
Shiites in Iraq. They, like the radicals who had been
displaced in Iran during the Iran Iraq War and came
back to reclaim their country, ARE TIED TO MUQTAD AL
SADR. Al-Sadr is a radical Shiite cleric who has OFTEN
ISSUED FATWAS TO KILL AMERICANS in Southern Iraq.

Another problem with Al-Sadr is that for SOME STRANGE
REASON, unlike ANY OTHER SHIITE, he somehow became
FRIENDLY with guess who???? ZARQAWI!! And this
means...................

The Turkmen Shiite town of Tal Afar became an Al
Qaeda/Sunni safe haven! Not to mention the place where
many of the kidnapped victims were taken AND WHERE
FORMER BAATHIST MEMBERS (who tortured the Shiite
Turkmen) WERE BEING HELD BEFORE GOING TO SYRIA.

President Ibrahim Al-Jaafari, ofcourse does not want
or need followers of Al-Sadr, nor does he need anyone
who is in the majoity Shiite helping the Sunni
radicals. So in a smart move on his part, he struck a
deal with the TURKMEN, WHO LIVE IN THE TOWN
OF.......TAL AFAR.

OK, so Zarqawi's "victims" are FORIEGN FREEDOM
FIGHTERS who invaded Tal Afar and those who are
betraying Zarqawi's "true islam" now are THE SHIITE
TURKEMEN.

Hopefully this all makes sense now if you read the
articles posted today.

Please post any questions you may have.

Thanks.
