Wahabis in Iraq are unhappy and disliked ---awww
2004-03-23
EFL -also some comments about the yassination
I also talked to a few Wahhabis at the village where I’m posted and they were very uncomfortable with their surroundings and the treatment they get from fanatics and Shi’ite Islamic parties. "We try hard to mind our own business and go on with our lives but people here hate us, and we’re always looked upon with suspicion"
[can’t imagine why]
one of them confided to me. There was an attack against a market store owned by one of them and all his goods were destroyed just a day after the Basrah hotel attack.
while zayed’s group is rather happy to have yassin gone, another iraqi blogger, the mesopatanian, http://messopotamian.blogspot.com/
who is generally pro american, apparently feels anger.
Ays, http://iraqataglance.blogspot.com/
another generally pro american is not angry but also disagrees with the yassination

#1  Check out Zayed's 2nd paragraph on the cook's reaction:
Our cook had the most interesting reaction. "How many young men did this @#%$ send to death by brainwashing and fooling them into carrying out suicide attacks? How many innocent people had he killed?" he shouted to the doctor, "And how many thousands of dollars did he get in his Swiss bank accounts by pimping on the Palestinian cause?". "If he was truly such a hero and a believer in Jihad how come he didn't rig his wheelchair with explosives and blow himself up at some Israeli
checkpoint? I say f* him". We advised the cook to stay out of politics, at least for the moment, and stick to his task of scrambling eggs for us.

Let's hope there are more Muslims in the Middle East who see this kind of logic and wisdom.
