If they start blowing up grocery stores Micheal Moore will change his tune about the need for troops in Iraq. . . . .

Radical Muslims disapprove of the alcohol trade and attacks against liquor storesSounds like they need an Abdul Capone to rise up and assert control over the situation.

At least seven alcohol shops have been bombed or shot at in the Iraqi capital in the past two days, shop owners and witnesses said, in the latest in a wave of suspected religion-backed violence against alcohol sellers.

Yep Al Quaida's mission-
No education for women and no alcohol for anyone.
Now-the liberals might actually be squirming a bit.
Oh--BTW---this might suggest the next target could be a few stills in the backwoods of Appalachia. or yuppie home brew basements for that matter.

Actually, persecution of Christians who sell liquor has been happening in the Shi'ite areas of Basra and elsewhere for quite soem time. Many have been driven out of business, under the not so watchful eye of coalition troops.

My son who is vacationing in Baghdad tells me the locals invoke Islam when it would be to their gain but otherwise live like Southern Californicans.

Attackers blew up five alcohol stores along a street in a Christian district of Baghdad overnight, the latest in a series of such strikes by suspected Muslim radicals. In other news, Senator Edward Kennedy has reversed his previous position on Iraq and now fully supports the Bush efforts there. Kennedy said, "We've got to get those sick, twisted bastards".

"vacationing in Baghdad"Now there's a prime destination if I've ever heard one. I'll bet he is earning some significant "walking around" money from his part-time "job", as well.

From what I'm told, the "followers of Allah" in Baghdad are rife with all of the common sins that plague the rest of mankind. Prostitution is rampant. HOMOSEXUALITY is a VERY, VERY common practice among the "Holy Warriors" and selling not just alcohol, but any kind of dope a doper could ask for is right there on the streets of Baghdad.
None of that has changed since before Saddam lost power.
Funny you don't see these facts of life in Baghdad on CNN.

My son who is vacationing in Baghdad tells me the locals invoke Islam when it would be to their gain but otherwise live like Southern Californicans. Satan doesn't care if you are a "nominal" (in name only) Islamo-nazi-fascist or a devoted one... either way you are going to his hell. But, that he has enough devotees to kill, steal and destroy everything good and righteous and peaceable is his main concern.
