| Shias protest against US and Israel |
| 2004-09-04 |
| Various Shia organisations demonstrated against the United States and Israel on Friday. A protest rally was taken out from Krishan Nagar after Friday prayers to condemn US aggression in Najaf. After passing through various roads, the rally ended at Karbala Gamay Shah where the protestors burnt US and Israeli flags. The speakers said US forces were killing Iraqis and they had no regard for human rights. "Iraqis must be allowed to choose their representatives through free and fair elections," they said. They said the Najaf issue was solved because of the peaceful Shia ideology. "Shias will not allow US forces to desecrate holy places in Iraq," they said. The speakers said if the US forces could attack Hazrat Ali's shrine, they could also attack other holy paces. They asked Muslims to fight the anti-Muslim forces before they attack their holy places. They criticised the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) and Arab League for not doing anything to stop US aggression. |

| #8 to condemn US aggression in Najaf Me? I think we had too little US aggression in Najaf. We let too many of Tatr's boys go. |

| #7 Fred; from what I have read, most Shias believe that the Wahabis/Deobandis/Americans are in league against them, pointing to the close relations between KSA and US. It also is not safe to be seen as supportive of Americans in Pakistan, so it help to be just as anti-American as everyone else. |

| #5 ...Having said that, this pretty well makes the case for interment ironclad; how else to pre-empt the jihadi scum in this country with plans for the same thing (as in Beslan, Chechneea) in our schools, our veterans hospitals, our churches (as in yugoslavia, Iraq), our synagogues, our public places...? Its not that we who must surrender our civil liberties; we will volutarily give up some of the things we would otherwise be at liberty to do; for we recognise that we are in a state of war. It is muslims in this country who must be compelled to forfeit civil liberties they disdain, civil liberties they condemn in the name of shri'a, civil liberties they take for granted, or don't wish to even appreciate, much less understand. Beeeecoz They have a choice to make, and if they don't, and insist on not making the decision between loyalty to this country or islamic compulsion, then it is incumbent that we of this country will be compelled to make the choice for them. Happy now A-hose? I'm pretty well disgusted with the respose of Irans http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040904/wl_afp/ I didn't think so... "President" Mohammadasahatter Katami, lets get this one straight, We will support our brother, our sister Israel, for this fundamental reason: Israel is a democratically elected government, and, as in Afganistan, and now in Iraq, it is therefore the solution , not the problem, to achieving peace and prosperity for all, not you or your "government." |

| #4 I think we should people the playing fields of stadiums throughout Islam with shias and Wahabis and make them fight to the death. In order to demonstrate to those who truly abhor war see who it is that never stops thinking about war; because even if the big bad West was ever, god forbid, to be subdued, they would immediately start fighting amongst theyselves. Shias vs Wahabs, Wahabs vs Cornholios, or Deobandi vs Sufis, or Salafi vs fill-in-the-blank. Miserable cannibals... Stinking filth...ridiculous "civilization", baby killers, child murderers...racist MoFos. Sexist freakshow... Vomit pigs. Spawn of Satan..Burn our cathedrals? Blow up our places of education? A "mosque" ain't nothing but a slaughterhouse; I say we direct that flow, you know, for their own freaking good. |

| #3 Didn't Suliman the Magnificant brag that he had destroyed something on the order of 30,000 churches? And, I will note, that mosques have been intentionally built on top of the Jewish temple, several prominant Hindu temples, and several destroyed churches. Oh, and the Basilica at Constantinople was converted into a mosque. |

| #2 I have a difficult time comprehending Pakland's Shias. The local Deobandis and Wahhabis bump them off for fun, so they protest against the USA. I guess it makes sense. Not a lot of sense, but sense. |
