It is a shame there arent any Shia Muslims that frequent this site.

I am sure they could give you a number of reasons.

I'm sure they aren't here cause they percieve internet and music as the works of the devil.

It's hard for someone who has grown up in the lap of a secular nation to understand the role of religion in theses peoples' lives.

Now that the nation around them has crumbled, they are hanging onto the last bit of structure that is left -religion.

Here, when you want to be educated, when you require monetary assistance, who do you go to? The government. There? The mosque.

great post wurm.

And don't get me wrong, but Shiia officials thanked the US but told them politely to leave the country so that Iraqi rule their own country.

And I don't think the Shiia forgot how the US let them down in the first gulf war when they got massacred by Saddam. And they didn't forget the 12 years of sanctions either imposed by the US.

If you let them rule their own country, it would turn into a civil war between opposing islamic militants. But hey, divide et impera.

... guys, read on why the Shiitas are protesting against the americans, aand want the americans out, that'll answer it.

something puzzles me here.. if for example the majority of the Iraqis which are Shiite want a fundamentalist government and the US wants to prevent that, then aren't they in a way preventing the democracy and free speech that they're trying to establish .. ?


what amazes me the most is the rash of articles on the news talking about how the US government did not forsee the power vacuum in Iraq fostering a fundamentalist government. you would have thought that they atleast consulted with some Islamic geo-political analysts or something on the outcomes of removing Iraq's government before embarking on this war. it almost seems as if they rushed into this whole thing without any thought of the aftermath caused..
