#1 The city is home to the holiest shrines in Shiâite Islam, and most Iraqi Shiâites react with outrage when clashes erupt near the sacred sites.

So, why haven't the Shi'ites gone after Sadr for causing so many "clashes" near their precious shrines? Oh, I see, it's only when infidels go after murderous insurgents that it becomes a problem. Thugs who kill Iraqis by the score in the name of "resisting the oppressor" get a pass.

Tell you what, guys. If you don't have much of a problem with one of your own desecrating your stinking shrines, pretty soon those who are getting shot up by these killers will cease to have any compunctions either. Keep it up and you'll be worshiping in rubble, kind of like back in the good old days of Saddam.
