#1 This is actually major news, in that it amounts to a religious semi-declaration of war of a lot of the Sunnis against the Shiites. What is most interesting are the *limitations* of the fatwa--just against the highest value targets of the Shiites, not "everything Shiite".

Also note that they didn't make all sorts of other attacks against Shiites they could have, such as prohibiting them from the Hajj, calling for forcible conversion, or armed violence against Shiite leaders or rank and file.

By limiting it to Iraq and Syria, as well, just the two of three Shiite ruled nations, also is interesting for several reasons. Why omit the Shiite mosques in Iran?

This is a real puzzler.

#3 They just want a fatwah of their own.

It is a classic case of fatwah envy.

#4 If it weren't for the specter of Muslim WMDs, it would more than a little gratifying to sit back and watch these Neadertals butt heads until they both concuss. It is difficult to imagine an upper limit upon internecine Muslim antagonism and violence. In so many different respects, Islam is truly its own very worst enemy. We really need to figure out some better way of helping them along in this escalating spiral of Muslim-on-Muslim slaughter.

#5 Consider ourselves warned. They may start with Iraqi Shiite shrines, but it won't end there. How long until they start on the infidel's shrines within the greater Ummah, extending from Spain to the Phillippines?

This is something that really worries me. However much France deserves harsh punishment for facilitating the Eurabian invasion, losing Notre Dame Cathedral in a terrorist attack upon Western religious shrines would be a loss to the entire world. European fecklessness is placing priceless pieces of our global heritage at risk. If there's one thing you can be sure of, it is that Islam has ZERO reluctance over demolishing such egregious affronts to its own delusions of self importance.
