#1 Zarqawi then began destroying the mausoleums of the Imams in Iraq until the Americans finally got him.

Is this literal? Or fancy arabic flower speaking?

that remark offends me.

Golden Mosque in Samarra, the bombing
Al-`Askarī or the `Askariyya Mosque/Shrine

Marqad al-Imāmayn `Alī l-Hādī wa l-Ħassan al-`Askarī) is a Shī`a Muslim holy site located in the Iraqi city of Samarra 60 miles from Baghdad. It is one of the most important Shī`ite mosques in the world, built in 944.[1] Its dome was destroyed in February 2006.

The remains of the tenth and eleventh Shī`a Imāms, `Alī l-Hādī and his son Hassan al-`Askarī, known as "the two `Askarīs" (al-`Askariyyān), rest at the shrine.[2] It stands adjacent to a shrine to the Twelfth or "Hidden" Imām, Muħammad al-Mahdī. The `Askariyya Shrine is also known as the "Tomb or Mausoleum of the Two Imāms", "the Tomb of Imāms `Alī l-Hādī and Hassan al-`Askarī" and al-Hadhratu l-`Askariyya.

Also buried within the Mosque are the remains of Hakimah Khatun, sister of `Alī l-Hādī, and of Narjis Khatun, mother of Muħammad al-Mahdi.

*Holy Cow*

#3 Article: But the act also completed the transformation of Al Qaeda as a sectarian organisation taking pride in killing fellow Muslims.

That depends on whether you consider Shiites Muslims. A lot of Sunnis clearly don't. Just as most Christians don't consider Mormons Christians.

#4 Just as most Christians don't consider Mormons Christians.

I dunno, if South Park is right, and in all absolute likeliness, it is, then the Mormons follow the One True Religion.

#5 So, the "intellectual" inspiration for Al-Qaeda comes from Paleo/Jordanian roots ? No wonder it's such a screwed up mess. Now the brain damaged Egyptian is the thinker ? Why are we providing funding to Jordan and Egypt ? The only aid packages there should be falling from the skies. Allan wills it.

#9 My best friend is a Mormon, and is definitely a Christian. He's not a typical Mormon, though - he LOVES Pepsi.
