Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani issues call to arms against ISIL
 [Sistani's mosque speech Friday] stated the defense of the country "against those terrorists" was a "sacred goal," and that anyone who died fighting to that end "will be a martyr"His words Friday marked a radical departure for a man who has played a powerful hand in shaping Iraqi politics, but has typically urged Iraqi Shiites to resist provocation to sectarian bloodshed. I half expect Tater and his militia to start gunning up, along side all the other Shia militias. And a healthy sprinkling of Iranian Quds force, given that Sistani has a hotline to Tehran Posted by: OldSpook 2014-06-14 |
