Shi’ite cleric calls for end to fighting in Iraq |
2004-04-08 |
EFL Iraq’s leading Shi’ite cleric yesterday appealed for an end to the violence sweeping the country between followers of firebrand Shi’ite cleric Sheik Muqtada al-Sadr and coalition forces. And who would that be? Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Husseini al-S Ah, Shitstani is getting a little jittery. |

#3 Mitch, decent point I notice that the ayotalloh, known as Shitani by a famous Iraqi blogger, hasn't spoken out about the little problem of hostage taken; maybe he doesn't consider it a problem. |

#2 Meh, Zeyad can use that epithet for Sistani - his ass is on the line, and it's his country, after all. But I think it's in bad taste for non-Iraqis to use it, except in quoting somebody like Zeyad. OK, Iranians, too. But only because Sistani still speaks with a thick Farsi accent, from all accounts... |

#1 shitani's 3 day silence and then his 'a little of this, a little of that' comment was pretty lame - many people think he is afraid of 'the new Qusay' Sadr |
