al-Sadr, be honest with us!

We know in islam it's acceptable for you to lie. That qur'an thing says it's okay to lie to a non-muslim, to deceive so long as islam benefits.

But, define "islam" and "benefits". Is "islam" narrowly defined as the way of the shi'a or does the definition of islam include the sunnis and others?

I'm just curious, not that I really care--- just curious. However, I do believe the answer does have some connection to what's been happening in Iraq lately with this Al-Qaeda "insurgency" and all.

According to what I've been reading it's difficult to believe that the shi'a (fully blown nut case) cleric Muqtada al-Sadr has nothing to do with Al Qaeda like he claims!

Remember him? He's the shi'a freak, the shi'a coward who fled to Iran when the latest "surge" began, leaving his loyal Mahdi army butchers behind to fend for themselves as the surge moved forward.

He's the same freak who tried to establish an "alternative cabinet" to the existing Iraqi government back in October of 2003.

Now we're seeing an increase in sectarian violence between the shiites and the sunnis. Certainly something right out of fatboy al-Sadr's playbook. I mean, afterall he is a "cleric", a muslim icon.

And, catch a glimpse of this latest plot. A school for girls wired to be blown up. The school's construction (financed by the Americans, being built with Iraqi labor and American military oversight) was almost complete and was six weeks away from opening when American military personnel uncovered the plot.

There could have been as many as 400 young, innocent school girls in the building. Imagine the slaughter of these innocents by those so called Religion of Peace practitioners had the plot not been discovered!

I question this plan, this plot to slaughter. Would it have been "okay" and in accordance with the teachings found in the qu'ran and other so-called religious books relating to islam? Would it have been "acceptable" because it would have happened solely to muslim females?

This islam thing just ain't seeming to be what it's all cracked up to be, now is it.

But you still have the appeaser of the house, senate dhimmi-crat leader and the rest of the dhimmi-crats all calling for our surrender and withdrawal.

Yah, we surrender and withdraw- you know, subscribe to the Pelosi, Reid, Murtha plan- and watch as the bloodbath begins--- err, continues--- err, increases.

Wonderful idea you politico idiots!

Al Qaeda group claims responsibility for executions!

On April 17, 2007 the islamic State in Iraq (possibly the same as the mujahideen shura council), an Iraqi terrorist group linked to Al-Qaeda claimed that the previously kidnapped 20 Iraqi police and soldiers that they claimed responsiblity for would be killed.

According to information released by an internet posting from the group on April 17, 2005, the Iraqi government failed to meet the group's original demands within the deadline provided. Those demands included that all female sunni prisoners being held in Iraqi jails be released AND that the government release to the group those Interior Ministry agents who were "accused of involvement in the widely publicized alleged rape of a Sunni woman and other reported rapes and killings of Sunnis."

"Our Islamic court ... has ruled (to execute) them and we shall soon issue pictures of it," the internet posting stated.

I found the story today on Yahoo News. I tried to link it but, as usual with Yahoo the link wouldn't work.

Here's the story as it was released.

Terror group posts execution video
By OMAR SINAN, Associated Press Writer

"CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida-led Iraqi insurgents issued a video Thursday purporting to show the killing of 20 kidnapped Iraqi police and soldiers, shot in the head execution-style as they knelt in a row.

The video showed a masked gunman walking down the row of captives, who were blindfolded with hands bound behind their backs outdoors in a clearing near trees. He shot them one by one, sending each tumbling forward as three other masked militants stood nearby, holding a black banner of the Islamic State of Iraq.

The Islamic State of Iraq, a coalition of Sunni insurgents including al-Qaida in Iraq, claimed on Saturday to have abducted the 20 and threatened to kill them after 48 hours unless the government freed female prisoners and handed over police accused of rapes in the northern town of Tal Afar.

The authenticity of the six-minute video could not be independently confirmed. It was posted on an Islamic militant Web forum where the Islamic State of Iraq has issued previous videos.

The Iraqi government has denied that 20 police and soldiers were kidnapped. Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Gen. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said Thursday that the men in the video could not be identified and said the insurgents may have dressed up civilians to kill them.

"We checked with our commands then and all the troops were accounted for," Khalaf told The Associated Press. "They are immoral criminals. They have used all criminal methods and we don't rule out that they executed civilians whom they dressed in military uniforms."

The video first showed the 20 men inside a room, lined up in three rows with black blindfolds over their eyes and their hands tied behind their backs. In front of a black Islamic State of Iraq flag, they wore blue police uniforms or military fatigues, and the camera focused on ID badges from the Defense or Interior Ministry on their chests. Some can be heard identifying themselves on the video and giving their positions in the military or security forces.

"I call upon the brothers in the national guards to agree to throw down their weapons and return to the path of God and Islam," said one after identifying himself as Mizher Jassem Mohammed Hussein, an engineer and army captain.

One of the men, wearing army fatigues, was seen shaking and swaying back and forth as he stood, then collapsing as his colleagues spoke.

The Islamic State of Iraq has claimed responsibility for attacks on Iraq's security forces, denouncing them as "apostates" helping U.S. troops, and has carried out numerous suicide bombings, most targeting Shiite civilians."

When will this senseless slaughter end?

islam, the peaceful religion???

I think not!
