Muqtada al-Sadr - Dude is Looney
August 5th, 2008 | by Sqotty |Terrorist leader Muqtada al-Sadr is making the news again, this time claiming he is turning his “Mahdi Army” terrorist organization into a civic group, and disarming them. Is he sincere in this new move and direction for his terrorist corps? Or is it all a lot of talk?
From FoxNews:
In a brochure obtained by the paper and confirmed by Sheikh Salah al-Obeidi, Sadr’s chief spokesman, the Mahdi Army will now be guided by Shiite spirituality instead of anti-American militancy. A new guiding principle will also be introduced: al-Mumahidoon, indicating that his supporters will be the foot soldiers of the Shiite messiah, Imam Muhammad al-Mahdi, who Shiite Muslims believe will return to rid the world of evil.
Sounds nice, right? Until you read further on in the article and find:
Obeidi told the paper that Sadr will continue to direct smaller, elite cells for limited military operations against U.S. troops. More details about these cells will be publicized at a later date, the report said.
Talk about having your cake and eating it, too! Al-Sadr will continue his militant terrorist activities at the same time pursuing social service.
