Al-Mutayri: al-Sadr's ''sacrifice'' is an ''eternal altruism''
[SHAFAQ] A leading figure of the Sadrist movement described Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
...hereditary Iraqi holy man and leader of a political movement in Iraq. He had his hereditary rival, al-Khoei, assassinated only a few hours after the holy rival's appearance out of exile in 2003. Formerly an Iranian catspaw, lately he's gagged over some of their more outlandish antics, then went back to catspawry...
's pull out of the political process as a "lesson of a loyal leader that echoes the position of Imam Hussein," following the mass resignation of the politicians affiliated with his movement.

In a blurb on Monday, the head of the political commission of the Sadrist movement, Ahmed al-Mutayri, said al-Sadr's decision was "a sacrifice to Iraq."

"Al-Sadr has rendered his altruism an eternal life. It is, undoubtedly, a courageous position and a lesson from a leader who is loyal to his people and homeland. It reminds us with his grandfather Imam Hussein's saying 'I would neither surrender to you like a servile, nor concede to you like a slave'."

"Only the greats would make such precious sacrifices for a greater cause. This is not new for the family of al-Sadr," he said.
