#1 They may have been muslims, but were they Shias? Sistani has denounced the attacks, and the Iraqi govt says it was Zarqawis gang.

The guy making the statment quoted in the title doesnt seem to be accusing the Mossad, or the CIA, or whatever. More of a statement from the gut, these Zarqi terrorists are NOT true followers of my faith. A good sign, I think.

#2 There sure are a lot of non-Muslims bombing and beheading non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Maybe the solution lies in seeing a bunch of Mosques go up in flames and a dust cloud each time a non-Muslim pulls one of these attacks. I suggest we start with Falluja and Ramadi, then get to work on those pious Saudis.

#3 Theyâre not Muslims

Not bad. Month after month of Islamist terror and they can still be in denial.

#4 Each time an AQ terrorists kills muslims or non-muslims you would bomb a mosque?? Why would the muslims Iraqis, who are now sovereign in their own country, and fighting the terrorists and deadenders, do that?

You guys are missing the point. AQ routinely justifies attacks on muslims by saying that the people who oppose them are really apostates, and thus kuffir - Sadat, Perv, etc are all non-muslims just as much as Jews and Christians. The guy quoted above was, from the gut, flipping this - AQ are the ones who ARE kufirs, in his view. That hardly means he would accept bombing muslims.

#5 Actually, the LA Times article doesn't really venture a guess as to the religious affiliation of whoever bombed the churches.

Given the nature of what's happening in Iraq and the players involved, it's highly unlikely that a Christian terrorist group would be responsible for the bombings...

#9 If Al Queda was hoping to provoke a reaction from the Pope they're dealing with the wrong Pope. They could blow up the Vatican and he'd probably make excuses in defense of Islam.

It's amazing he showed so much courage against the Soviets, but then he was Polish and it was personal.
