Many Fallujans initially welcomed Zarqawi and his lieutenants as liberators from the hated American occupiers. But the jihadists did not fight for freedom. Instead, they enforced Islamic law at the point of a gun, establishing a brand of fascism even worse than Saddam’s. They murdered sheikhs who opposed them. They butchered their enemies’ families, burning women alive and slashing children’s throats with kitchen knives, and massacred other families for accepting food from Marines. City officials, tribal authorities, police officers—anyone in charge of anything was targeted for destruction.

The Fallujans got a taste of sharia and didn't like it? Good. Something like that must have been going on in Basra. I saw a short YouTube video in which men dressed in taliban fashion were beating up Iraqi male civilians selling beer at a market and destroying their only means of livelyhood. One of the wives, crying, was translated as saying; 'we have not eaten any food today, my children are hungry, what are they doing to us, this is no better than when we had Saddam'.

That was a cool article. Fallujans got a glimpse of AQ rule and Shariah and hated it so much they had to turn to the American infidels! !ممتاز
