"The Legend of Samarra 'Haunts Iraq terrorism
An ancient legend tells of a merchant in Baghdad who sent his servant to the market. Soon came the servant - white and trembling - and said to his master:
Terrorism
"The market has pushed the angel of death to me and gave me the evil eye. Please lend me your horse so that I may flee Samarra, where death does not find me."
The dealer allowed the horses, but went on the market and has looked death in the foot. He asked: "Why is myServant of the evil eye? "
"This was not Evil Eye," said Death. "It 'was an expression of surprise, because I have an appointment with him tonight in Samarra!"

The story is ancient, perhaps by the creation of Samarra, the capital of a province in the Persian 836AD - 60 years after the unrest in Baghdad. Says another old saying. "There is nothing new under the sun"
The Great Mosque built in 852 - to 160 meters, spiral minaret - has survived several wars. Notso happy was the golden-domed shrine of Al-Askareyya than 874 tombs built for two revered Shiite imams.
Most Sunnis in Samarra. They and the Shiites do not really like each other. This is a take secular thing.
This is how things got out of hand a month ago, when the insurgents, foreign terrorists, bombing the Golden Dome. It 'came at the beginning of the season Shiite holy.
Iraqi and Iranian Muslims began a stream on a pilgrimageTens of thousands of angry Shiites - reprisals - of Shiite militias from the fire chaplain Mogtada al-Sadr.
In the sectarian bloodbath that followed were more than 800 people were killed and hundreds were injured. Hysterical liberal American media is detached. "Civil War"
Nonsense. Civil wars are fought for political differences.
The political differences of Iraqi Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds have been brave in the last year in all three provinces resolved through democratic elections, aConstitution and a parliamentary body.
Shiite Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq's most prestigious cleric forbade revenge on Sunni mosques and called for calm. The young al-Sadr and his Shiite militia, finally held dampened the enthusiasm.
Both religious leaders to understand that Iraq is run in a global religious schism by a minority of fanatical Wahhabi Muslims involved.
Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Israel, Iran, France, Spain, Denmark, - Islam is everywhere affectedAfghanistan, India, Indochina, Philippines - United States and do not forget
Wahhabis are terrorists intent on killing Muslims, Mainline than are Americans and Jews - although the difference is difficult to distinguish.
It is no coincidence that, after the Muslims are the most important goals in their markets, mosques and workplaces. Defenseless women and children are victims popular. Wahabbists, you see, are inherently cowards who wear masks and prey on civilians.

The radical Sheik al-Sadr - leader of the majority of Saddam persecuted mousseline - is a dangerous game. She sleeps with the Shia Iranians and released invective against American forces, all Iraqi Muslims of Iraq, a tyrant and replace decrepit public institutions.
With friends like Sadr, who needs enemies?
In this struggle time, we and our coalition allies have lost many brave soldiers - and billions of dollars - for the cause of freedom andTolerance.
To promote this noble goal, a task force has launched 800 new Iraqi soldiers and 650 Americans a big strike against foreign Wahhabi terrorists in Samarra last Thursday.
Ironically, the new Iraqi parliament sworn in Samarra attack began. The 275 newly elected members have not elected a speaker, or members of the government. Arab costume, under the chairmanship of the oldest member of the inauguration of the democratically elected town - and constitionallyout - of state and government.
In this letter, the Samarra attack is "Operation Hawk-moth." Forty suspected terrorists were captured on the first day, and destroyed six improvised explosive cache.
Concerning the Wahhabi murderers hide behind the skirts of women, innocent Muslims have become "collateral damage". War is hell. Plus that terrorism is genocide.
So we have to do with the moral of the legend of Samarra - you can not run nor hide from death.
