Baghdad. In a one of a kind military operation the US army occupied 7 mosques yesterday in the Western Iraqi town of Ramadi and turned the mosques into barracks, the Iraqi News Agency INA reported.

According to information, the American soldiers have taken the praying out of the mosques, closed them and banned access to the mosques within a range of 1 kilometer.

It's about time. Now when are we finally going to get treated to the promised "shock and awe" that never materialized?

...banned access to the mosques within a range of 1 kilometer.

I agree. This part sounds as if it was written by someone with a poor command of the English language. The very idea of the U.S. army taking over mosques for barracks is preposterous.

Bad Idea. Remember why we have our 3rd Amendment?

I call a B.S. on this report.

The only other places I can find this story are all on Muslim websites.

I dunno. In honor of Rama-damna-ding-dong they could have turned them into barbecue joints: Pasha's Pork Palace; a-la-la-las Pulled Pork Pavilion.

Hmmm. Could it be a signal? (As I polish my tinfoil for maximum reflectivity).

"American soldiers have taken the praying out of the mosques, closed them and banned access to the mosques "

This "story" sounds like it came from the "Make Up News To Inflame The Muslims" network.

Call me a skeptic, but unless and until this story is corroborated by someone besides a Bulgarian news agency I will suspend belief.

Complete and total baloney. It simply wouldn't happen with commanders walking on egg shells over there over every single cultural issue.

Moderator, feel free to pull this thread.
