#1 Talk?

The Sunnis and the Shia have been exchanging fatwas, rocks, bullets, arrows, swords, flaming kettles of oil, and dirty looks since Ali was killed in Najaf in 648.

Iraq is the one place where conceivably the Sunni/Shia nonsense over the succession to Mohammed could be settled and after almost 1400 years, you would think it would.

So much for the religion of peace, leave them alone and they'll kill each other by the thousands over a murder that took place in 648.
