BODIES IN CLERIC'S COURT (At least 25 Bodies found in basement in Al Sader's court!)
Sky News ^ | 8/27/04

Posted on 08/27/2004 6:23:49 AM PDT by areafiftyone

At least 25 bodies of executed civilians and police have been found in the basement of a religious court set up by rebel cleric Moqtadr al Sadr, according to AFP news agency.      

Some of the bodies had been mutilated or burned, according to the reports.

The discovery comes after al Sadr officially handed over control of Najaf's Imam Ali shrine.

A representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali al Sistani confirmed the handover as militia loyal to al Sadr handed in their weapons after a peace deal to end the crisis in Najaf.     

Thousands of Iraqi Shi'ites have been marching to the shrine to show their support for Ayatollah al Sistani.

The ayatollah had returned to the southern holy city to negotiate the peace deal after medical treatment in London.

Al Sadr agreed to Ayatollah al Sistani's call for his supporters to lay down their arms.

My question: What responsibility does Ayatollah AL-Sistani bear for letting this murderous wretch go free?

In the Middle East, no one is exempt from the revenge rules or emotions.

I'm a cleric.

Ahhhhh, xzins.... you know as well as I do that "cleric" is media-ese for "bloodthirsty salamikaze." They just can't bring themselves to call such animals what they really are.

Most likely they were both mutilated AND burned...offending err...parts...having been scoured by fire, some after having been cut off. Well, he probably didn't stick women's panties on their heads, so that's ok, right?

Who were these people? How were they killed? Why were they killed? Where are their families? Why aren't CNN etc interviewing their survivors to get details like they did regarding the "tortured" prisoners at Abu Ghraib? Thanks to TexKat for the picture... without that we would have no media coverage that might have an impact...

Isn't this the guy John Kerry called the "legitimate voice" of Iraq?

I am an infidel and even I know that Muslim bodies have to be buried as soon as possible after death preferably the very next day.

And this guy is supposed to be Holy? What a laugh! He just defiled these Muslim bodies. I mean apparently murder is OK for Muslims, but you're still supposed to treat the bodies according to the laws of allah.

One of the strangest things about Islam is that the people who present themselves as the most devout, tend to be the most murderous and disrespectful to allah. IMO

"...to the southern holy city..."

What qualifies this city as a holy city?
