BAGHDAD, Iraq: Iraq's top Sunni religious leader died Sunday after suffering heart attack in his hometown of Tikrit, a local official said. Sheik Jamal al-Din Abdul Karim al-Dabban, 68, was the mufti, or religious authority, for Iraq's Sunni Arab minority. He died around 6 a.m. in his home, said Ahmed Khalifa, the spokesman for Tirkit's governor.

We're rooting for the regular Iraqis who are not members of al Qaeda, the Mahdi Army or the Badr Brigade (the last two brought to you by the government of Iran.)

By reading the newspapers, you’d think nobody ever died of natural causes over there...nobody.

Or another way of putting it, dying by the hand of a Sunni or Shiite is the natural cause of death in Muslim lands.
Forgive me if I forgot any other Muslim sects.

I hope he wore light clothing. He’ll need it where he’s going.
