| Clerics protest sacrilegious acts by coalition forces |
| 2003-04-07 |
| Iranian clergymen and theological students on Monday voiced protests to what they called "sacrilegious invasions of holy sites in Iraq by coalition forces." About 50 clerics on Monday staged a half an hour sit-in in front of the UK embassy in Tehran, shouting "Death to UK" and "Death to US" and setting paper flag of Britain ablaze in protest to the ongoing war in Iraq. Guys? Look, this is not a good time to go making faces and burning paper flags. Take my word for it... According to sources close to residents of Karbala and Najaf, west of Iraq, the cities are now calm and people lead normal life and pay regular visit to holy sanctuaries. So what's yer beef? |

| #3 "Death to UK" and "Death to US" One of these days, someone will take these chants and slogans seriously and call them on it. It might even be Allah himself. |

| #2 For the first time in 15 years, for the last several days the traditional call to prayer has been sounding from one of the Iraqi mosques courtesy of the US. The Iranians strongly object to infidels promoting the peaceful practice of their religion, and prefer home-grown "Muslim" dicators to interfere with it. |
