| Iraqi Sunni Cleric Calls for Attacks on US Military |
| 2004-07-16 |
| EFL A senior Sunni cleric called on his followers to launch a holy war against the US forces in Iraq and threatened to turn the hotspot city of Ramadi into a "graveyard" for American troops. "I ask US President (George W.) Bush to withdraw from Iraq or else Ramadi will become a graveyard for US soldiers," declared Sheikh Akram Ubayed Furaih at weekly prayers in the city, 100 kilometres (60 miles) west of Baghdad. "I call upon my brothers the Shiites and on all other religious groups to embark on a Jihad (holy war) against the US military to force them out of Iraq," said the cleric, who spent three months in a prison after being arrested by the US military and whose home was also raided last week. "I urge all the Iraqi people to fight a holy war against the Americans," said the cleric, among the most respected figures in this Sunni rebel bastion. |

| #2 "I call upon my brothers the Shiites and on all other religious groups to embark on a Jihad (holy war) I can't wait to hear Alaa (aka http://messopotamian.blogspot.com/) says about this tomorrow. He is an observent Moslem who frequently starts his entries with "the compassionate, the merciful" but has started complaining about violence/hatred from clerics. |
