Iraq: Another Raid Brings Further Alienation
...and yet another unprecedented act. More Bu*sh*it.
BAGHDAD - The Association of Muslim Scholars, a Sunni organisation that was created in the aftermath of the Iraq invasion, was again targeted by the United States military last Sunday.
The raid on its mosque served only to alienate Sunnis further. The Association of Muslim Scholars, now considered the highest Sunni authority in Iraq, has been working to support those who have lost their families, or the unemployed. It is also a strong critic of the United States occupation.
(we now know anyone who opposes US policy is perceived as terrorists, which now includes more than 1/2 of the US citizens)
Its stand has provoked several raids by the U.S. army and continuing conflict with the Shia-dominted interim government.
