A Lynching...
It's official. Maliki and his people are psychopaths. This really is a
new low. It's outrageous- an execution during Eid. Muslims all over the
world (with the exception of Iran) are outraged. Eid is a time of peace,
of putting aside quarrels and anger- at least for the duration of Eid.
This does not bode well for the coming year. No one imagined the madmen
would actually do it during a religious holiday. It is religiously
unacceptable and before, it was constitutionally illegal. We thought
we'd at least get a few days of peace and some time to enjoy the Eid
holiday, which coincides with the New Year this year. We've spent the
first two days of a holy holiday watching bits and pieces of a sordid
lynching.
America the savior… After nearly four years and Bush's biggest
achievement in Iraq has been a lynching. Bravo Americans.

Allah and that Mohammed is His messenger."
These are the words a Muslim (Sunnis and Shia alike) should say on their
deathbed. He repeated this one more time, very clearly, but before he
could finish it, he was lynched.
