Tell me again why we left Sadr and Sistrani alive?

We left Sistani alive because he is the head of a quietist school of Islam that believes that clerics who participate in politics become corrupt. This man has been stating this his entire life, he has seen what happened in Iran. Now, suddenly AP/AFP comes out with this distortion and you guys are ready to hang one of the really good guys.

The US Constitution was based on Judeo-Christian principles, should someone have hanged George Washington?

We haven't even heard it from the source (i.e. Sistani, himself). As usual AP, AFP are giving us their take based on an unnamed source.

A source close to Ayatollah Sistani said the spiritual leader backed the demand
