Well judginf by the fact we have found army bases and huge weapon caches in schools and hospitals, it seems that we should nuke the hell out of these sites since they are likely converted from islam to WMD.

[Minty]

And of course they are going to hide right in them

[Dog Gone]

I hope Iraq puts all their tanks in mosques. They're not much use there.

[primeval patriot]

The Muslim world has been perpetually enraged for the last 1100 years.

[KansasCanadian]

Enrage the Muslim world? But they are a religion of peace.....

[facedown]

Oh Boo Hoo Hoo. Roll right over them.

[mylife]

I cant quote source, but I had read that Saddam Damaged some of these sites when he took power.
He simply rebuilt them and the muslims were appeased.

[Toddsterpatriot]

Damage to Iraqi holy sites would enrage Muslim world, experts say

And then they would fly planes into our buildings? Set off car bombs? Kill their own innocent civilians?

[Sir Gawain]

Cool. Now I will know where to relieve myself if I'm ever in Karbala.

[Dysart]

Hoping they steer clear of these holy relics, as the Shiate could it the fan.

[chainsaw]

Damage to Iraqi holy sites would enrage Muslim world

Well, wasn't the WTC a holy site for our business world. The muslims didn't think anything about leveling that. I think the uslims would get over it. One shot from one of those holy sites and I'd level it.

[thoughtomator]

I've been thinking recently that NOT destroying them is a bad idea - the fanatics seem to view our respect and mercy as a sign of weakness.

[AmericaUnited]

Oh no... more raging, enraged, "we're" enraged, angry, mad, really, really mad, "yup we really are..." arabs.

Screw em!

[Maeve]

No matter the faction, the Muslims are constantly offended and wallowing in a state of victimhood.

If there is a damned mosque being used for military operations, smash the thing to dust. Save our troops' lives, and let these Shiite shrines be rebuilt by Iranian charity after the war.

[PFKEY]

I think the Arab world needs too worry more about enraging the civilized world or they might just find themselves on the endangered species list.

[Auntie Dem]

Well, if these "Holy" places are supposed to be holy because they were places of martyrdom, I say let's make them even more holy and martyr a whole bunch of those evil bastard ragheads.

[Mike Darancette]

The Moslems are reaping what they have sown. In the name of solidarity (Arab, Muslim or whatever) they allowed a madman to use their holy places to serve his own evil designs.

No wonder they are mostly poor and backward.

[Calpernia]

I have a few other things they should be enraged about:

What pathological group of mental patients they are!

[John H K]

According to the Washington Post, we've pretty much got control of Najaf already, and the people are much friendlier now.

U.S. Army Civil Affairs personnel on April 1 tour the ziggurat in southern Iraq that is at what is traditionally recognized as the birthplace of the biblical patriarch Abraham. It was built 4,000 years ago as a temple to the moon. U.S. troops are stationed there to protect the site and because it commands high ground near a coalition air base.
