Ok.....warning....one of Wolfie's VERY rare politicals...and I'm a bit concerned too.
Wollf-Line.....Baghdad:
"According to an order by Sayyid Muqtada, activities of the Mahdi Army will be suspended ... for another six month period," al-Sadr's aide Hazim al-Aaraji was quoted as saying.
He used the term "Sayyid", which is an "holy" title for al-Sadr during his sermon at a major mosque in Baghdad.
Al-Sadr's decision to stop senseless Murders, (Wollf's term....the MSM calls it a cease fire), for up to six months last August was widely credited with bringing the Iraqi death toll down more than 60 percent since it began.
The other piece of the puzzle is the surge of U.S. troops and use of Locals in the battle against Al Qaeda in Iraq........
Here's the deal with Al Sadr.....he's the little fat guy with the Black Turban, always shaking his fist at the evil Americans......
Remember the name of his "Mahdi Army"? Well, "Fat Dude in Bad Hat" is a Shi-ite.....yes, sounds amazingly like one of my curse words...for a reason. It is. And it's exactly what I think of these folks.
The Mahdi......that's Arabic for "divinely guided one"....is their version of Christianity's "Second Coming", or the Jewish Messiah who's supposed to straighten things out at the end of time.
Mahdi teams up with their prophet Isa, Islam's version of Jesus, and then brings about Heaven on Earth.
This all occurs kinda in the same time sequence as the "Revelation" stories.....Beast shows up as the Anti-Christ, gets a good G-d slapping, and we all move "joyously" on to the Final Judgement.
Muqtada al-Sadrin, in his role as "divine cleric", the "Shi-ite-head" followers believe him to be an infallible Imam, or "teacher", claims that the Madhi is back and that America knows it.
More interestingly, al-Sadr has repeatedly claimed that the real goal of the Iraq invasion was for U.S. Forces to capture and kill the Mahdi, and thus destroy Islam.
The Mahdi Army wants to fight. It is their belief that they "must", in order to hurry the appearance of Allah's kingdom on Earth.
Sound like an Indiana Jones sequel to you?
Another quickie lesson in Religion from Wollfie..... The two major Religio-Political factions in Iraq? Sunnis.....the "less evil" one, use the term Imam for just about anybody that leads a "sermon" in their mosque. Shi-ites believe that an Imam is that "infallible", "divine" fellow that I referred to above.
Hard time telling the two apart? Use Wollf's simple method of Enemy Identification...just like it sounds.....Sunni = "Sunny", as in maybe you'll live to see another sunrise. Shi-ite....heh, you get the drift on their disposition.
Bottom line to my unease today is that this little fat rat ba$tard weilds entirely too much power for the good of the World. His Mahdi thugs are murderers and worse yet, psychopatic murderers who believe it is their duty to bring about Armaggedon.
And the Main Stream Media is extolling this little pus-pocket, bad bearded, puke as the "Hero of the Day". He's asking his "army" not to kill anyone for another six months. Hoo friggin' Ray.
I am a hero too, I suppose. I've decided not to rob any convenience stores for a few months.
Eff him. He is a Bad Guy. Step on him like a Palmetto Bug before he becomes a friggin' Head of State and our Laws preclude his assasination.
Simply put.....They want us.....dead. Or converted. I know that in my case, that would mean dead. I'd write more, and become even more incensed.....but I keep getting e-mails that warm my feet.
Or is that Heart? Damm, I get so confused.
Thanks for listening....to Islamic End Times, the Condensed, Wollfie Version. Next week we'll try the Book of Ezekiel.......
