Iraq Mosque Bombing: A Sunni Fatwa?

[00:00:00][applause] >> And as someone who's visited Iraq quite a lot, had the occasion to think about it a good deal.

[00:00:09]I wonder if you could mention anything the United States has done in Iraq that is remotely as criminal, as sadistic and as violent as the blowing up of the mosque of the golden dome in Samarra.

[00:00:23]>> [applause] >> One of the holiest sites in the Muslim world, callously blown up by Sunni forces in alliance with forces who perhaps not agree with them for once on this, were fascistic Ba'athists.

[00:00:39]Probably they got the weapons and that high explosive from them. That makes it worse, surely.

[00:00:44]Intending to start and successfully in fact initiating the civil war in which countless thousands of people have been killed, religious processions have been dis- fired upon, funerals have been fired upon, Qurans without number of course been incinerated, much more importantly children, old people, and civilians.

[00:01:01]Now, where is I just wonder, you'll be you'll have to be you must be able to quote it to me. Where is the Sunni fatwa against this conduct?

[00:01:10]Where is it?

[00:01:11]Where is the authoritative statement of moral outrage in the city walls saying, "This is not acceptable behavior for followers of the prophet."

[00:01:21]I missed it.

[00:01:25]And so apparently did the followers of the prophet miss it cuz they keep on doing this all the time.

[00:01:30]They were doing it before the United States got to Iraq and they'll be doing it after we've gone.

[00:01:34]So I'm sorry, I won't be talked to in that tone of voice.
