#5 Disagree. Sistani has always represented the wing of Shiism that says religious leaders should stay out of politics and v.v.

It's one reason he dislikes the Iranian mullahs.

#7 Written by a Syrian (read Iranian puppet) political "analyst". Yeah, al Sadr is the real independent (and worthy of infidel support) and Sistani is Tehran's puppet. Jeebus, the NorKs write better propaganda than this.

#8 If only - maybe he can serve as an example for every other "leader" in the region. Fat chance.

How do you separate mosque and state when the mosque is the state?

#9 Let's all hope this is leadership by example in order to force Moqtada Sadr to abandon his political aspirations.

#10 Agree, Zen. Sistani is pulling back to put some distance between him and Tater's immentant demise.
