Iraqis Back Attacks on Nearly Everyone
AZCONSERVATIVE ^ | 29 Sep 2006 | John Semmens

A poll by the University of Maryland’s Program on International Policy Attitudes, found that six in 10 Iraqis say they approve of attacks on U.S.-led forces, and slightly more than that want their government to ask U.S. troops to leave within a year.

“The American troops are interfering with our jihad against the Shiite heretics,” said Muhammed Dumbah, a Sunni poll respondent from Fallujah. “These defilers of Islam must be slain. It is our duty to slay them. The Americans are meddling where they don’t belong.”

These sentiments were, unsurprisingly, echoed by poll respondent Mohammed Nadir, a member of the Sadr Brigade, a Shiite militia group. “We must rid Iraq of the Sunni apostates by any means necessary,” said Nadir. “If U.S. troops get in our way we will kill them.”

In the poll’s “death to________________” section respondents named Osama bin Laden, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Saddam Hussein, the Kurds, Iraqi President Jalal Talibani, Jews, George Bush, America and assorted annoying neighbors. “My neighbor Akmed’s goat pen reeks,” said Ikri al-Nitanda, a respondent from Bagdad. “And the noise these creatures make—it keeps me from sleeping. So, I say death to Akmed.”

The poll, which included an over-sample of 150 demented lunatics, who researchers believe represent the “true feelings” of Iraqi’s “silent majority,” has a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.

In related news, one of Germany’s foremost opera houses has abruptly canceled a modern production of Mozart’s “Idomeneo” because of fears of a violent reaction to a scene showing the severed head of the Prophet Mohammed. “We know that Islam is a religion of peace, but we were afraid the Muslims would kill us,” said an anonymous opera house official from an undisclosed location.

"“We know that Islam is a religion of peace, but we were afraid the Muslims would kill us,” said an anonymous opera house official from an undisclosed location."

Laughing and crying, John. It's hard to distinguish satire from the reality sometimes.

Is this whole site Scrappleface-type satire? It's so scarily subtle it's actually hard to tell (what does that tell you about the state of our society?). I think I was already taken in by one of the articles on this site that was posted on FR.

What the hell is the downside to us stepping back and letting the Shiites and Sunni go after one another for a few years?

Wouldn't that literally "bleed off" the most virulent lunatics -- leaving fewer for us to kill?

Semper Fi

"So, I say death to Akmed."

LOL!

What is also funny is for a Hasty Reader to assume John's posts are actual news reports and read their comments.

Signed,
Hasty Reader more than once;)

There will always be SOME Iraqis who dislike American intervention. Even if we left tomorrow, we would have to fly countless missions blowing up Iranian Sunni invaders crossing into Iraq to do mischief. The Iraq border is woefully inadequate when it comes to mine fields and ironically CHECKPOINTS allow people into Iraq "for social visits". Yea...sure...like blowing up people in alleys next to the government offices. "Social visits".

Alas it appears that Middle Eastern Muslims ...in general...see killing as "the final solution". "Killing in an orderly fasion and burying in a peaceful way" Zac Tecson,Filipino wwII veteran, father, and very wise dead fellow...natural causes octogenerian.
