| Iraqis Vow to 'Fight the Crusaders' |
| 2002-11-08 |
| The Iraq resolution regarding the return of weapons inspectors passed unanimously today. According to plan, weapons inspectors should be in the country within ten days. They are then to report back to the United Nations with their findings after sixty days. That'll be mid-January... In response to the potential passing of the resolution regarding weapons inspectors in Iraq, Iraqi clerics chastised the US and Britain during Friday prayers, calling on the people of Iraq to rise up against the infidels and crusaders in a holy war. They keep calling for holy war... If they're really unlucky, they'll cause a "crusade" one of these days... The sanctions-hit country gathered for the first Friday prayers of Ramadan, shadowed in the fear of another deadly attack. Mosques across the nation delivered the same message: fight the crusaders. According to Reuters, in the Mother of All Battles mosque in Baghdad, thousands of people gathered as the Iman declared, "Bush, who are you, you little dwarf, to threaten Mohammed and the sons of Mohammed... Today... the Jihad is a must of every Muslim. By God, we will defy you with our words and then our arms... By God, we will defeat you and wipe you out." I suspect they're going to defy us with their words and then surrender in large numbers when it comes down to using their arms. They're better at making faces and hollering than they are at warfare. |
