The clerics have nothing to fear. Obama will pull the troops out, saving their sorry asses.

they have grown disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.

they have grown disillusioned with religious leaders and skeptical of the faith that they preach.

The NYT treats this as if it is a bad thing... even though they are so adamant about anti-religion (at least when it comes to Christianity). I think this anti-Islamic development in Iraq is mightily good! Get the folks off Islam and they'll get off the madness.

Sounds like a breakthrough to me.

“I hate Islam and all the clerics because they limit our freedom every day and their instruction became heavy over us,” said Sara, a high school student in Basra. “Most of the girls in my high school hate that Islamic people control the authority because they don’t deserve to be rulers.”

The Lord works on the hearts of the people everywhere, even in dark, Islamic repression.

These young people don’t sound as if they will be likely recruits for 72 virgins.

[chickpundit]

Wow, sounds like good news to me. Perhaps a breakthrough is coming.

I pray their hearts will be opened and they will accept Jesus as their Savior. That’s when true, transformative change can take place.

This is remarkable!

One of the “stretch” goals of the War on Terror was to change the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people...to have them reject terrorism and to accept democracy.

The NYT is proving that the Iraq effort is a COMPLETE success!

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

As others have noted, the LORD works in mysterious ways. Perhaps, those that have been listening to the preachers of violence and hate - will realize that it has all been a lie and come to seek rest on the Everlasting Rock...

Prayers for those that are weary and are seeking rest.

“skeptical of the faith”
Thank you, New York Times for putting some truth on your pages.

[TenthAmendmentChampion]

They need a real Savior! Send someone over to help them!

This change is not only from exposure to the random brutal violence of radical Islam. It’s also from exposure to the West in the form of our finest young men and women. Our soldiers and Marines.

Give these kids sunglasses and an mp3 player and a chance at a Toyota. Give their young girls status beyond being the possesion of men.

With Iraqs oil riches, and a chance at a better life in the 21st century instead of the 12th, we will win every time.

HALLELULAH!!!

I know of an Iraqi woman married to a Palestinian living in Canada. She is aware of the brutality of the Arab states, but still thinks US is bad. This has got to be brought to everyone’s attention!

Sounds like JimRob needs to set up a Farsi-language FreeRepublic.iq site.
