Well, considering that Wahhabi Sunni's consider Shiites *worse* than infidels (apostates) and hate them more than they hate us (hard to believe, but true), this isn't exacly a surprise. Not to mention that they're pretty scared of the ascent of Iranian power lately.

That sounds exciting ................................
YAWWWNNN....ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.

Maybe there really is a God that talks to Arabs. And maybe he just whispered in the ears of the "sane" Arabs, that their judgement day was near if they did not start cleaning up their OWN ranks. (wishful thinking)

[nosofar]

Great! Dualing fatwas. :)

[DoughtyOne]

I seriously doubt some of the negative comments from Middle-Eastern leaders regarding Hamas or Hezbollah would have been made if the U.S. had not taken the actions it did in Iraq, and stayed with it.

So I guess what I am trying to say, is this nice outcome is also Bush's fault.

Don't tell CNN or the New York Times.

This is probably a good thing, but really..... WHO GIVES A SHI'ITE WHAT ANY OF THESE CRAZY RAGHEAD WHACKOS SAY ANYMORE?

[Mrs. Shawnlaw]

Fatwas At Dawn!(?)

[Perdogg]

In the eyes of the Wahhabists, Shias may be lower than Christians and Jews. They consider Shia a different religion, not a sect.

Call me racist - they all look the same to me :/

Soon, Rove's plan will come to fruition...

The Sunni and Shiite will escalate their lunacy, and commence killing each other on a scale that will shock the word.

Semper Fi

[festus]

.....or pray for hezbolla........

Well I can still pray for the killing of every member and supporter of hezbolla right ?

[You Dirty Rats]

That means this sheik has just issued a fatwa against HELEN THOMAS!!!!! LOL!!!!

[attiladhun2]

What is happening is that Iran is making a bid to become the leader of the Islamic world. The Saudis have a large Shiite population in the eastern part of their country and several thousand members of Hizbollah there. This just happens to be where the majority of the oil fields are located. The Saudis (no fiends of the U.S. and certainly not Israel) realize that the status quo is far better than what could happen if Iran begins to spread its influence into the Arabian Peninsula.

"See? You told me so :)"
Can't hardly remember what I write on any given day to whom. But as we can see, all is not right in the world of Islam. Of course, tis been this way for some thousand years or so.

[GoldwaterChick]

Actually if someone asked me to give an illustration of the word "fatwa" Helen's face would immediately come to mind. She's more than met her match in Tony Snow.

[farlander]

Well yes, among other things. We'll see how that goes for 'em after Hizb'allah is destroyed.

and commence killing each other on a scale that will shock the world.


Ok, now I'm watching it more closely.

Take care,
