True - very true. BUT, alot of this is being done in the name of Allah and is being called for by rogue clerics. To be fair, many senior cerics are horrified by this and are screaming about Allah's teachings and how they specifically prohibit this conduct.

Sadly, in a very small way, the intolerance and unbeding quest for power by the radical religious groups reminds me the current WH and the political climate in the US. Granted the US is not near as bad. But, the general thought line of religious intolerance is the same.

What the hell is going on?

Seems like some Iraqis want to keep Hussein's traditions alive.

I pray for the safe release of those hostages and others.
