Iraqi Blogger Laments Rise of ClericsPosted on Apr 2, 2006
The young, U.K.-raised Iraqi dentist--whose writing has run in the Washington Post--says this in a recent blog: “Islamic clerics (of all denominations) never fail to disgust me. Thanks to their efforts, we are becoming quite fluent in 7th century medieval vocabulary.” How many Iraqis will listen to such sermons then go out on a rampage to slaughter their Nawasib neighbours, or their Rafidha friends?

The author of Healing Iraq may be disgusted with
the rise of the clerics and much else in Iraq
today. But it is worth recalling that he has
been a supporter of the US invasion and of his
great liberator, George (Arbusto) W. Bush.
Historically he also seems to have a taste for
totalitarian measures. Now that the totalitarian
measures are being excercised by the religious
factions he does not like it.
If you want to quote a bright, ariculate Iraqi
Report thisyou would do better quoting Riverbend than this
guy.
