#1 Colorful stuff. Scholars. Right. I'd say video doesn't pack the punch needed, but that's just me.

The real key is that, en masse, the "scholars" and imams haven't done much of anything except look after their own narrow asses and interests, thus far. Sadr and Sistani both make that case rather well.

Patience, phil_b, patience. As soon as they're done sorting out this nettlesome Sunni - Shiite flap, they'll start whacking their own version of the decadent academic elite within Islamic circles. If all this internecine strife wasn't accompanied by a full calendar of atrocities against the West, I'd just sit back and applaud.
