Muqtada Al Sadr, Iraq's #1 terrorist

Is this the face of evil, or what? This is Muqtada al-Sadr, and Muq is a TERRORIST.


I've read just about everything about this jackal I could get my hands on.


It baffles me that he could be this powerful and have the following he has. He IS the Shia version of Osama Bin Laden.


For those of you who are not familiar with Muqtada, here's the short version:


His father was important. His father was respected. His father was assassinated in 1999 - some say by Saddam, other say he was murdered by his own people (and inside job).


Sadly, Muq's two brothers were also assassinated.


This left Muq - who had only been the doorman until then, probably because his father couldn't trust him with more responsibility - in a position of taking over his father's legacy.


Pity, that.


The biggest problem was that Muq never did his studies (or at least never passed them), and so he can NEVER be a true religious leader, can never issue a fatwa.


Instead of studying and becoming a better person under his father's guidance, Muq gorged himself on fattening foods and sat around playing video games, and even as an adult, he's an obese, uneducated video game addict.


In his spare time, he kisses Iran's butt, thumbs his nose at al Sistani, blackmails al Maliki... and if all these aren't bad enough, he is responsible for the murders of 1000s of Iraqis, via orders and leadership of his creepy, masked Mahdi Militia.


In America, this guy would have been thrown in jail within the 1st time he took up arms against the government or the people. In Iraq, everyone - including al-Sistani and al-Maliki - seems to be afraid of him, so everyone gives him his way, no matter how outrageous his demands.


Don't get me wrong - I understand why people are afraid. Muq is a lunatic - a bad-tempered child in a fat man's body. But those who join his murderous thug forces or give into his demands don't deserve to be called Iraqis.


"But Muq calls for the Americans to leave - that makes him a good Iraqi!"


NOT.


Muq calls for the Americans to leave so he has entirely free reign over Iraq and her people. So he can kill Sunnis and moderate Shiites wholesale. And then so he can hand Iraq over to his master, Iran.


Muq calls for the Americans to leave because the Americans want to prosecute the murderous criminal.


Muqtada is not a man of God - he's Satan's minion. He kills all who disagree with him or who stand in his way.


Muq and his jackals kidnap innocent Iraqis and demand ransom from their families - and then, like the liar he is, instead of returning the kidnapping victims safe and sound once he has his money, he murders them in cold blood.


Muq is the guy who gives the orders, and his thugs are the ones who kill for him, and dump tortured, mutilated (against Islam) bodies in the streets and in the rivers.


Like I said, I understand those who are afraid of Muq, because he's certifiably crazy and no doubt bathes in, and drinks, the blood of Iraqis he's murdered, but if Iraq's leaders are not strong enough to stand up for the people of Iraq and take down Muq and his sheep, then step aside and let someone who is willing to do the job take over. This includes al-Maliki and everyone else in the government.


Muq is about as sectarian as they come, and every time the people in the Iraqi government turn a blind eye to his crimes and destruction, they keep the sectarian wounds open and bleeding.


Just a prediction - if Muqtada al Sadr is not arrested and punished, taken out of commission -either by US forces or US forces backing up Iraqi government forces - before the US leaves Iraq, he will reign terror over Iraq and her people, making anything Saddam might have done look tame in comparison.


Why before the US leaves? Because our soldiers have no ties to Muq - not religious, not tribal. And they don't fear him.


The same cannot be said - at least not yet - for the Iraqi Army, some of whom have ties to Muq, and let him use their uniforms, their weapons, and turn the other way while his thugs rape, pillage and murder (and sometimes outright help him).


NOTE: Not all the Iraqi Army is corrupt or in al-Sadr's pocket. Most of them are good people, trying to bring order to Iraq. Unfortunately, the few that are working for al-Sadr are enough to do a lot of damage. Hopefully, as the Iraqi Army matures, and more Sunnis and moderate Shiites join the ranks, these bad al-Sadr sheep will be weeded out, arrested, tried and convicted.

Iraqis know they must take a hand in bringing their country back to order. The only way to do this is to trounce the terrorists, and the #1 terrorist in Iraq is Muqtada al-Sadr.


Is this the guy you want running your country and determining your childrens' future?


For the record, why do I consider Muqtada al-Sadr Iraq's #1 terrorist? Because he is Iraqi. An Iraqi who slaughters his countrymen in pursuit of absolute power and a few pieces of silver from Iran, is worse than all the foreign terrorists coming into Iraq put together.


Here are some things to read to learn more about Muq's history, the crimes he's committed.

And here's the story of one of Muq's victims, and a great example how Muq will slaughter anyone who gets in his way (watch out Maliki and Sistani!) - even another cleric! (Just one question: Where was the Shia religous leaders' outrage over this???)
