Stirring up trouble in Iraq

Morally bankrupt terrormongers continue stirring up trouble in Iraq.

The day after a bomb on a Baghdad street killed 23 people, another bomb in the mainly Sunni city of Samarra destroyed the golden dome of one of the Al Askari Mosque, one of the holiest Shiite shrines in Iraq. The Associated Press reports that although no one was killed in the blast, the destruction of the mosque’s dome sparked demonstrations and calls for revenge.

More importantly, voices of reason were heard in Iraq today. While idiots fired mortars at the U.S. Embassy and tried to spread more seeds of hate, other leaders called for restraint and peaceful protest:

Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, the spiritual head of Iraq’s Shiite Muslims, called for peaceful demonstrations, and urged his followers not to attack Sunni Muslims or their holy places. The Sunni Endowment, the government agency in charge of maintaining Sunni mosques and shrines, also condemned the destruction of the mosque. The agency said it would investigate

There are powerful voices calling for reason, dialogue and constructive debate. Those insurgents who don’t listen to these calls will not live to see a peaceful Iraq. Human rights are for humans, not animalistic murderers whose only negotiation tool is death.
