| Al-Qaeda Denies Bombing Polytheistic, Heretic Shia Who Worship Other Than Allah |
| 2004-03-04 |
| Al-Qaeda statement, quoted in Jihad Unspun Today a great misfortune has happened and is part of the US conspiracy to ignite the fire of sedition between the Muslims in Iraq. The US forces today perpetrated a massacre to kill the innocent Shias in their polytheist city of Karbala and in Baghdad. The Americans are trying to attribute these actions to the Mujahideen of Al-Qaida who have inflicted pain and suffering on the United States in Iraq and elsewhere. The United States wants to distort the image of the Mujahideen. And we are today telling all Muslims that we disassociate ourselves from this action and disassociate ourselves from what the Shia Muslims worship other than So that our aims may be clear to everyone, we strike the American Crusaders and their allies and we strike the Iraqi puppet police, the tail of America and the stick that America uses to strike the Mujahideen in Iraq. We hit America’s stooges in the infidel council, the so-called Governing Council and those who collaborate with them, both Sunnis and Shi‘is. Oh, heroic people of Iraq. The Mujahideen are a people who love |

| #3 phil_b - from what I saw in Saudi, the Sunni are the more mercenary, pragmatice, and organized - thus, far more dangerous. The Shi'a are considered more, uh, wild-eyed and fanatical -- though this was not evidenced in Aramco where they were a cowed minority and very lucky to have jobs. If the Shi'a ever got organized - and I guess this would take some kind of universally accepted ranking of the Mullahfuckahs which has zero likelihood of happening - they'd create more chaos. The Sunnis are the prime source of grief. The Shi'a are just typically ungrateful back-stabbing shitheads... in a mob. :-) |

| #2 I am suprised this hasn't generated a storm of comments. Every single person detained at Gitmo is a Sunni. Sunnis by and large fear and loathe the Shiias. This statement brings a whole knew meaning to the term schitzophrenic. It alternates between kill all the unbelievers rhetoric, and we want to be your friends and by the way you need to convert to the Sunni faith first. This is going bring Shia recruits by the busload (sarcasm off) |
