Mullah Fudlullah warns Iraqis about new dictators
Lebanonâs top Shia cleric Sheikh Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah urged Iraqis on Friday to open their eyes to the US occupation and to rebuild Iraq without Washington or Londonâs supervision.
| Too late for that now. Two months ago, that would have been good advice... |
âWe call on the oppressed good people of IraqâŠto prevent the birth of a new dictator from inside and abroad and to open their eyes to the methods of the occupier,â said Fadlallah in his sermon. âWe trust youâŠto come together without American or British oversight to build a new Iraq that respects the people and gives them their rights.â
| "Those rights include cutting people's heads off for severe offenses, cutting their hands off for lesser offenses, burying horny women under piles of rocks, and killing people over obscure points of religious dogma." |
Fadlallah warned that Washington would use the chaos in Iraq to show that Iraqis could not govern themselves.
