فيلق قدس الايراني قاسم سليماني اجرى اتصالات هاتفية مع زعيم التيار الصدري مقتدى الصدر وامين عام منظمة بدر هادي العامري حول التطورات الجارية في سوريا. وقال المصدر الذي لم يشأ الكشف عن اسمه لاسباب تتعلق بامنه الشخصي ان سليماني طلب من الصدر أرسال عناصر جيش المهدي الى سوريا من اجل بسط الامن هناك ومحاربة الجيش السوري الحر المعارض لحكومة الرئيس السوري بشار الاسد لان امن العراق مرتبط بالاوضاع السورية وتماسك حكومة الاسد . واضاف ان سليماني اجرى اتصالا اخر مع امين عام منظمة بدر هادي العامري وطلب منه التدخل سياسيا في شؤون سوريا ولكن الاخير رفض ذلك مؤكدا موقفه بانه ضد مايفعله الجيش السوري الحر من ما وصفها عمليات قتل واضطهاد للشعب السوري الشقيق وما تتعرض له الحكومة السورية. وكان رئيس المجلس العسكري للجيش السوري الحر العميد مصطفى الشيخ قال إن حافلات مليئةً بمئات الجنود يتبعون لميليشيات واحزابٍ عراقية تخرج يومياً من العراق الى سوريا عبر المنافذ الحدودية  الواقعة تحت سيطرة قوات الاسد وبالاخص عبر منفذ اليعربية للمشاركة في عمليات قمع المتظاهرين في المدن والقرى تحت نظر السلطات العراقية المسيطرة على طول الحدود. واتهم الشيخ السلطات الامنيةَ العراقية بتقديم التسهيلات للمرتزقة من خلال تسجيل أسمائهم بقوائمَ خارجية مستقلة حيث يُشطب على أسمائهم منها فور عودتهم . واعتبر الشيخ هذه العملية بانها اعلان حرب من قبل بغداد . </p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-13671"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a

lot of misreporting of what Sayed Muqtada al- Sadr has ordered in his latest statement to his followers. It’s not saying anything that he has not said before.</p> <p style="text-align: left; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr">What Sadr has said is that he is “freezing the activities of the Mahdi Army” and that this freeze of <strong><em>Mahdi Army</em></strong> activity will remain in force even if American troops were to remain in Iraq after December 31<sup>st</sup> 2011.</p> <p style="text-align: left; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr">The continued standdown applies <em><strong>only</strong></em> to the Mahdi Army. The situation for the Promised Day Brigades is different. <em>Al-Sadr has ordered a tactical ceasefire only for the Promised Day Brigades</em> with a view to facilitating the withdrawal of the American invaders’ occupation forces.</p> <blockquote><p>"In order that Iraq can recover its independence through the withdrawal of the invaders from our territory, I judge it indispensable to halt all armed resistance operations until the complete withdrawal of the occupying forces. If the pullout is completed and there is no longer a single US soldier on our territory, the military operations will end definitively but if that is not the case and Iraq remains in a state of dependency, they will resume with increased vigour."</p> </blockquote> <p>He went on to say that he was working  <em>"hand in hand"</em>  with Maliki’s government  <em>"to achieve the liberation of the country and supporting it against US pressure."</em>  </p> <p>Several  points arise from this. It’s a public demonstration of his  firm grip on the loyalties of his followers. It clears the way (and gives political blessing to) operations against splinter groups. It greatly strenghtens his hand in his political negotiations with Maliki. </p> <p>Saba Ali Iihsan</p> <p><a title="sadr_ceasefire by Gorillas Guides, on Flickr" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://www.flickr.com/photos/gorillasguides/6137215134/" class="external" target="_blank"><img alt="sadr_ceasefire" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825im_/http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6183/6137215134_c18beee9ab_o.jpg" width="420" height="203"/></a> </p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-13583"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/06/27/ratcheting-up-the-resistance/#respond" title="Comment on Ratcheting Up The Resistance">No Comments</a></span> Posted on June 27th, 2011 by markfromireland</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/06/27/ratcheting-up-the-resistance/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Ratcheting Up The Resistance">Ratcheting Up The Resistance</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/category/analysis-briefings-commentary/" title="View all posts in Analysis Briefings Commentary" rel="category tag">Analysis Briefings Commentary</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/category/english-articles/" title="View all posts in English Language Articles" rel="category tag">English Language Articles</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/american-invaders/" rel="tag">American invaders</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/american-occupation-forces/" rel="tag">American occupation forces</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/jaish-al-mahdi/" rel="tag">Jaish al-Mahdi</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/mahdi-army/" rel="tag">Mahdi Army</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/promised-day-brigades/" rel="tag">Promised Day Brigades</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/resistance/" rel="tag">Resistance</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/sadrist-resistance-units/" rel="tag">Sadrist Resistance units</a></p> <div class="entry" dir="rtl" align="right"> <div style="text-align: left; unicode-bidi: bidi-override; direction: ltr"> <p>Today (June 27th 2011) The Mahdi Army’s Promised Day Brigade claimed responsibility for ten mortar and Katyusha attacks that targeted US bases.</p> <p>They stated they would launch further attacks despite the fact that some GZG soldiers had been killed and others wounded.

From the reports and our own sources it seems that a Rapid Reaction Force (the RRF are special forces from GZG Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki’s office) arrived on Thursday night at Taji prison to take custody of prisoners to be transferred to Karkh central prison. An altercation between the RRF force and the prisoners ensued in the course of which five prisoners escaped. Amongst the escapees is Saad Sowaar a senior Jaish al-Mahdi commander. This escape and Adnan Taj Shalal Sharhan’s escape can only have taken place with inside help – hardly surprising given the level of corruption in the GZG and its security services including the "Rapid Reaction Force". </p> <p>The timing of this escape and the fact that Saad Sowaar is one of the escapees is very bad news indeed for the GZG government and the Americans. At present the Sadrists are repeating continuously that if the Americans do not withdraw that they will resume hostilities. Having the highly intelligent, skilled, and ferocious, Saad Sowaar back in their command structure will increase their effectiveness. He is widely known to have successfully planned and led several complex and daring operations.</p> <p>markfromireland</p> </p></div> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-13398">

لشؤون المصالحة الوطنية، أن ملتقى كبير لإلقاء السلاح لمختلف الفصائل المسلحة سيعقد خلال الأسبوعين المقبلين، لافتة الى "أن المصالحة الوطنية مفتوحة لجميع العراقيين، عدا حزب البعث المحظور وفق الدستور". <br/>وقال وزير الدولة لشؤون المصالحة الوطنية عامر الخزاعي" إن هناك ملتقى كبيرا لإلقاء الأسلحة لمختلف الفصائل المسلحة سيعقد، خلال الأسبوعين المقبلين"، مؤكدا " أن الملتقى سيختم تقريبا أمر الفصائل المسلحة في العراق". <br/>وأضاف الخزاعي" أن المصالحة الوطنية مفتوحة لجميع العراقيين ولا يمكن أن نعمل مصالحة خارج إطار الدستور"، مشيرا الى" أن الحوار لا يمكن أن يتم مع حزب البعث المحظور كحزب". <br/>وتابع الخزاعي" أن عودة البعثيين مرتبطة بقانون المساءلة والعدالة ومن الممكن أن يعودوا وفق هذا القانون كون الدستور حظر حزب البعث كفكر".</p> <p><strong>خبراء: السدود التركية الاثنان والعشرون ستحرم العراق وسوريا من نصف مياه الفرات تقريباً </strong></p> <p>يحذر خبراء ومختصون من أن يشهد العراق وسوريا كارثة مائية خلال السنوات القليلة القدمة إذا لم تعدل تركيا عن تنفيذ مشاريعها المائية الضخمة للاستفادة من مياه دجلة والفرات. <br/>وبهذا الصدد اعتبر مدير قسم المياه الدولية الأسبق في وزارة الخارجية العراقية ناجي حرج أن من أبرز المخاطر التي تتهدد العراق وسوريا شح المياه، وذلك بسبب المشروع المائي الكبير المسمى مشروع جنوب شرق الأناضول على مياه نهري دجلة والفرات. <br/>وأوضح في "تصريح صحافي"، على هامش مؤتمر (العرب وتركيا.. تحديات الحاضر ورهانات المستقبل) الذي انطلق، الأربعاء في العاصمة القطرية الدوحة، أن المشروع المائي التركي المكون من 22 سداً مائياً والمشاريع الزراعية الأخرى ستستهلك 50% من مياه الفرات و20% من مياه دجلة ما يعني ذهاب كميات كبيرة من مياه العراق وسوريا لصالح تركيا.</p> <p><strong>محكمة تحقيق بعقوبة تفرج عن 427 موقوفاً خلال شهر نيسان </strong></p> <p>أفرجت محكمة تحقيق بعقوبة عن 427 موقوفا خلال شهر نيسان الماضي، وذلك بحسب إحصائيات أعدتها الجهات المختصة. <br/>واشار التقرير الاحصائي الذي اوردته رئاسة محكمة استئناف ديالى الاتحادية الى ان مجموع القضايا التي انجزت خلال شهر نيسان بلغ 880 قضية، حيث تم الافراج عن 427 موقوفا منهم 314 كانوا موقوفين وفق احكام قانون مكافحة الارهاب و113 كانوا موقوفين وفق احكام قانون العقوبات وبعض القوانين الجزائية الاخرى. <br/>واوضح انه تم احالة 453 موقوفا الى المحاكم المختصة منهم 306 متهمين بارتكاب جرائم خاضعة لاحكام قانون مكافحة الارهاب و147 متهماً بارتكاب جرائم جنائية خاضعة لاحكام قانون العقوبات وبعض القوانين الجزائية الاخرى.</p> <p><b>القوات الامنية تعتقل مسؤول مكتب المصالحة الوطنية لمناطق جنوب بغداد</b></p> </p></div> <p>

align="right"> <blockquote><p>A new slogan has appeared in the past week on walls in eastern Baghdad and some southern Iraqi towns. Scrawled in paint, it is a simple and, to many Iraqis, chilling promise: "The Mahdi Army is returning."</p> <p>On the buildings that line the streets and alleyways of neighbourhoods in the Shiite strongholds of north-eastern Baghdad, similarly foreboding messages admonish men against shaving their beards and women against forsaking the abaya for western clothing. Iraq’s security forces quickly whitewash over the warnings, only for them to reappear elsewhere.</p> <p>They appear to be a calling card of the Mahdi Army which, at the height of its influence in Baghdad after the US-led invasion of 2003, prohibited Iraqis from watching football on television on the ground that sport was against the teachings of Islam. It also operated death squads and fought US troops and Sunni militants with equal ferocity.</p> <p>The feared Shiite militia was disbanded in 2008, but the prospect of its return has never been far from the minds of Iraqis. That possibility inched closer to reality when the Sadrist movement, which encompasses the Mahdi Army, won a prominent role in the government in last year’s elections.</p> <p>It is not only graffiti that has heralded a revival of the Madhi Army. Muqtada al Sadr, the cleric who leads the Sadrist movement, has openly threatened to deploy it.</p> <p>In an address read out to thousands of his loyalists in Baghdad on Saturday, Mr al Sadr said he would revoke the orders freezing Mahdi Army activity and instruct the militia to resume military resistance against US troops if they remain in Iraq after the end of this year.</p> <p>Under an agreement between Baghdad and Washington, all US military personnel are due to leave by the start of 2012, but US defence chiefs have hinted that they would like a sizeable force to remain beyond that point to prevent a security vacuum.</p> <p>Hazem al Araji, a Sadrist official, underlined the point, telling Saturday’s cheering crowd they were "all time bombs and the detonators in the hands of Muqtada al Sadr" unless American troops withdraw on schedule.</p> <p>Abu Ali, a former Mahdi Army commander from southern Baghdad, said he and his men were now on standby.</p> <p>"That speech was zero-hour for us to begin our preparations," he said. Abu Ali was released from prison about four months ago as part of a political deal with Mr al Sadr that secured a parliamentary majority for the prime minister, Nouri al Maliki, and thus a second term of office.</p> <p>"We are on alert, and if, by 2012, the American forces don’t leave, we will be at war with them," he said. "For now, we are watching and getting ready so that we are prepared for the end of the year."</p> <p>If the order were given to resume the war, US forces would not be the only targets. "Disloyal" Iraqis who were assisting American troops would also be singled out, Abu Ali said.</p> <p>He had no doubt the militia would be back in combat within eight months. "The Americans won’t leave, they want to keep at least 10,000 soldiers here," he said. "We have sources inside the Iraqi government so we know what they are planning."</p> <p>The Sadrists’ office in Baghdad declined to comment, but a government official allied to the Sadrists’ political wing said militia preparations were under way.</p> <p>"In the past two weeks we’ve seen them start putting weapons arsenals up in their neighbourhoods and towns, and preparing new strongholds for operations in places like Ameen [in Baghdad] and Kut [a city in southern Iraq]," the official said. "It will not be good, it’s going to cause problems for the community if they clash with the government forces and Americans again."</p> <p>The official said hardline Mahdi Army leaders, many of whom had been released from jail or returned from exile in Iran, were motivated more by vengeance than by the desire to build a modern and prosperous Iraq.</p> <p>"Their real goal is to take revenge against the army that defeated them," he said. Iraqi government forces routed the Mahdi Army in 2008 in a series of military clashes in which hundreds of militias fighters were captured, killed or fled to Iran.</p> <p>"Unless he is careful, Muqtada al Sadr is going to lead the country back into battle and back into more problems," he said.</p> <p>An Iraqi intelligence officer stationed in Kut, the administrative capital of Wasit province, 180km south of Baghdad, said security forces had information about Mahdi Army commanders trying to reactivate cells in the city and other southern provinces.</p> <p>"At the moment we have no orders to move against them. We are waiting for national intelligence plans to be drawn up," he said. "There is a possibility of the Mahdi Army being reactivated in Kut. It’s a concern."</p> <p>The officer said slogans promising the militia’s return had been painted on walls in towns in Wasit province, but that it was unclear who was behind it.

The U.S. forces will go out of Iraq in accordance with the agreement, not upon a request from the Iraqi side, but rather because the U.S. administration wants that," Rassoul told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. </p> <p>U.S. combat troops have withdrawn from Iraq by the end of August 2009 in light of the SOFA deal signed between Baghdad and Washington in late 2008, provided that the remaining force, 50,000 troops, would pull out of Iraq at the end of this year. "This political outbidding is tickling the popular sentiments on the street, now that the 100-day deadline is beginning to expire. Perhaps Sadr, a patriotic who leads a patriotic movement that has been resisting the occupation since the beginning, is trying to win the Iraq’s street’s confidence on the long run," Rassoul added. </p> <p>Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had set on February 28, 2011, a deadline of 100 days for ministries and service departments to offer better services for Iraqi citizens, to be followed by a comprehensive assessment of the ministries’ work. Maliki’s move followed mass demonstrations in most Iraqi cities protesting deteriorating services, corruption in government departments and unemployment. </p> <p>Sadr had announced in 2007 freezing all activities of the military wing of his movement, <i>Jaysh al-Mahdi</i>, or the Mahdi Army, for a period of six months. He later announced in February 2008 that the freeze would be extended for six months more. </p> <p>Another political analyst, Ibrahim al-Samaydaie, said the Sadrist Movement and Sayyid Muqtada al-Sadr were expected to return to the political arena away from any military wings. "The threat to use violence and return to resistance are very serious. Accordingly, I call on the Sadrist Movement to reverse its position for I expect an extension of the SOFA deal between the Iraq and the U.S. side," Samaydaie said. </p> <p>He pointed out that Iraq needs another agreement providing clearly for its protection as long as Iraq’s military preparedness is incomplete.</p> </blockquote> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://en.aswataliraq.info/Default1.aspx?page=article_page&id=141906&l=1" class="external" target="_blank">Govt. has to handle Sadr statement with kid gloves – analysts : Aswat Al Iraq</a></p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post clearfix" id="post-12997"> <div class="postmetadata"><span class="comments"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/04/09/we-are-all-ticking-time-bombs/#respond" title="Comment on "We Are All Ticking Time Bombs"">No Comments</a></span> Posted on April 9th, 2011 by markfromireland</div> <h3><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/2011/04/09/we-are-all-ticking-time-bombs/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to "We Are All Ticking Time Bombs"">"We Are All Ticking Time Bombs"</a></h3> <p class="postmetadata">Category: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/category/analysis-briefings-commentary/" title="View all posts in Analysis Briefings Commentary" rel="category tag">Analysis Briefings Commentary</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/category/english-articles/" title="View all posts in English Language Articles" rel="category tag">English Language Articles</a>, Tags: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/feb25-continued-campaign/" rel="tag">#Feb25-continued-campaign</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/american-imperialism/" rel="tag">American Imperialism</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/american-invaders/" rel="tag">American invaders</a>, <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130125182825/http://gorillasguides.com/tag/american-occupation-political-resistance/" rel="tag">American occupation -

Hazem al-Araji, is the Imam of the largest Shia mosque in Baghdad. He and his brother Baha al-Araji (who leads the Sadrist bloc in parliament) are both <em>very</em> senior Sadrist leaders. You can take it that his "ticking time bombs" remark was cleared in advance. What else can can you take for granted?</p> <p>You can take for granted that when Muqtada al-Sadr says flat out that he’ll order the resumption of military operations by the Jaish al-Mahdi if the hated American invaders don’t depart on time that he means it.</p> <p>You can take it that when Hazem al-Araji says that they’re all "ticking time bombs" that he knows what he’s talking about and that he means it.</p> <p>You can also take it that their audience approves, I was invited to witness the demonstration in al- Mustansiriyah Square, when the part of al-Sadr’s statement in which he discussed escalating military operations was read out there was a full throated roar of approval from the crowd the same was true when al-Araji made his ticking time bombs comment.</p> <p>Finally you should not take for granted that the Jaish al-Mahdi have been inactive. They haven’t, they’ve been training. Some of them have been to training courses run by Hizbollah who, I’m reliably told, were more than pleased with their pupils’ progress.</p> <p>markfromireland</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="post

align="right"> <div dir="rtl" align="right"> <blockquote> <p>بعدما اتضح ان النظام البحريني قد استجاب لكل الشروط السعودية لتنفيذ سياسة تطهير عرقي بابعاد طائفية ، وبعد ازدياد عمليات تطبيق سياسة التنكيل بشيعة البحرين من قتل وتعذيب ومداهمة البيوت وتهديد الاسر باغتصاب بناتهن اذا اشتركوا في اية تظاهرات او شاركوا في تشييع الشهداء ، باتت البحرين تشهد تحولا ملحوظا في صفوف اعداد كبيرة من الشباب للرد على على هذه الاعتداءات بالقوة ، تطبيقا للاية القرانية أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ ".</p> <p>وعلمت شبكة نهرين نت الاخبارية من مصدر خليجي : " ان تقارير خاصة واردة من البحرين ، تؤكد ان سياسة القمع والترويع المستمرة ضد الشيعة في البحرين ، باتت تؤتي نتائج عكسية بشكل كامل وستكون اثارها وخيمة على البحرين والنظام البحريني وعلى استقرار المنطقة كلها ". <br/>واضاف هذه المصدر : " زرنا البحرين اثناء الاعتصامات والتقينا بشخصيات في المعارضة ومازالت بيننا اتصالات رغم الظروف الصعبة التي تشمل الاتصالات الخاضعة للرقابة ، والان باتت تصل الينا معلومات في غاية الحساسية والخطورة ، وتكشف عن عن وجود تحول قوي لدى صفوف الشباب البحريني يدعو الى استخدام القوة والرد بالسلاح لمواجهة هذه الحملة العسكرية والامنية ضد الشيعة في البحرين ". <br/>وقال هذا المصدر الخليجي : " لقد اخبرنا الاخوة من رموز وقادة التظاهرات في البحرين ، انهم رصدوا بداية تحرك في صفوف الشباب يطالب بالرد عمليا على عمليات القتل والتعذيب ، وذلك بتنفيذ عمليات مسلحة و انتحارية ضد قوات الاحتلال السعودي والاجهزة الامنية للنظام ، ونقل لنا اصدقاؤنا في البحرين ان الشباب باتوا يقولون لو ان السلاح بيدنا لانتقمنا للشهداء والمعتقلين ، وظهرت دعوات لتشكيل "جيش المهدي " على غرار الجيش المهدي في العراق للرد على ما يسموه بمؤامرة الامريكين والسعوديين لذبح شيعة البحرين واستبدالهم بتجنيس مئات الاف من الاجانب  ". <br/>واكد هذه المصدر لشبكة نهرين نت : " ان ما سمعته ومن افواه رموز مهمة في الاعتصامات التي شهدها دوار اللؤلؤة ، اكد قلقهم وخشيتهم ، من ان ياتي وقت قريب  لايستطيع فيه احد منهم، الوقوف بوجه هذا الحماس والتوتر الشديد الغالب على الشباب البحريني ههذ الايام، والخشية الكبرى هي ان دعوات العمل المسلح تجد لها ارضية واسعة في صفوف الشباب الذين باتوا لايقبلون بتصريحاتنا ودعواتنا بان تظاهراتنا وحركتنا يجب ان تبقى سلمية .. فكانوا يرددون بينهم " سلمية ..سليمة .. ماذا حصلنا من هذه السلمية كنا 300 الف متظاهر بالشوارع ، لو كانت بايدينا اخشاب وليس سلاحا لكنا اسقطنا النظام واعطينا درسا في المقاومة والثورة ، هذه نتيجة التظاهرات السلمية .. معتقلون ومعذبون وشهداء ومفقودون واكثر من ذلك اهانة للكرامة كل يوم على يد اوباش النظام والساقطين الذين لاشرف لهم ، لو كانت الانتفاضة الشعبية مسلحة حتى بالمولوتوف لكانت حتى قاعدة "الجفير " للاسطول الاميركي قد خلت من السفن الحربية الامريكية ، والانا سماؤنا على لائحة المطلوبين وسيعتقلوننا ، فلنقاتل ونلبس احزمة انتحارية ونكون مثل" جيش المهدي " في العراق ، فعند ذاك اما الشهادة او النصر ، وليس كما نحن فيه الان .. لاخيار لنا في النصر ، بل خيار بين اعتقال وتعذيب وشهادة ، وبين الاختفاء عن العيون او اعتقالنا عند عند كل نقطة تفتيش  من قبل اوباش النظام من الشرطة والبلطجية ، الذين هم من الساقطين المعروفين في البحرين، والتعرض لاسوأ الاهانات وسماع السباب على ائمتنا الاطهار ووصفنا بالرافضة وعباد الحجر". <br/>والجدير بالذكر ان راديو" الشرق " الذي يبث من اوروبا قد بحث الاسبوع الماضي هذ الموضوع بين عدد من الاكاديميين المهتمين بشؤون الشرق الاوسط من النرويجيين والسويديين، وقد اتفق اغلبهم على ان اصرارا اسرة ال خليفة على استخدام القتل والتعذيب والاعتقال والتجويع وتطويق المدن والقرى الشيعية ، ستدفع هذه الاجراءات القمعية ، الشباب البحريني من الشيعة الى رفض دعوات زعماء المعارضة بسلمية الاحتجاجات ، وسينضمون وبدون شك خلايا مسلحة تطور الى تنظيمات مسلحة ، تنفيذ عمليات عسكرية تبدا بالاستيلاء على اسلحة رجال الامن والشرطة وتنتهي بتنفيذ عمليات انتحارية ، ولاشك عند ذاك سيواجه الغرب وتحديدا الولايات المتحدة والسعودية وفي مقدمتهم اسرة ال خليفة تحديا امنيا حقيقيا ربما ينتهي الى صفقة بين الغرب والثوار على حساب اسرة ال خليفة وعلى حساب السعوديين ، ونوه اولئك الباحثين الى ان انتماء الشيعة لمدرسة الحسين التي تبث روح الشهادة والتضحية ، سيكون عاملا مساعدا على ظهور مجموعات ليست مسلحة فقط بل مجموعات انتحارية لن يستمعوا حينها لاي واحد من زعماء المعارضة  الحاليين كما هو حاصل الان  ". </p>

width="150" align="left"/></a> <p>In a statement released by his Najaf office yesterday Muqtada al-Sadr condemned takfiri scholars for issuing fatwas authorising attacks on Christians and even on other Muslims. He held these scholars responsible for for the massacre at the Church of Our Lady of Deliverance in Baghdad and the deadly attacks that followed in the mostly Shiite areas in Baghdad.</p> <p>Sadr’s statement confirmed that the Sadrists were ready to volunteer to protect the holy shrines and mosques and above all the monasteries and churches of Irak, he called on the government to "open the door" for volunteering for this purpose and to publish an inventory of weapons in the hands of government forces.</p> </div> </div> <hr/> <div class="navigation"> <div class="alignleft"><a
