Where is the Iraq War Heading?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the attack carried out by the U.S. military and the predominantly Shia Iraqi army on the city of Tal Afar in Iraq, near the Syrian border, I was watching the renowned Al Jazeera news channel. I saw the Shia Iraqi soldiers mourning and chanting Shia slogans while striking their chests before launching their assault, as if they were about to attack the army of Yazid, the killer of their third Imam, Hussain<\/strong>, at Karbala.<\/p>\n

The moment I saw this, I could not help but imagine the worst possible reaction from the Sunni population, particularly from the Salafi group of Zarqawi<\/strong>. What I witnessed on Al Jazeera was a clear provocation<\/strong> from the Iraqi army, which is supposed to be neutral<\/strong> and should not be chanting sectarian and religious slogans<\/strong> during such an operation.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know if you fully grasp my point, but to help you visualize the scene, imagine seeing American soldiers, before launching an attack on a city, reading the Bible as if they were fighting a Crusade.<\/strong> Wouldn’t that shock you? Of course, it would. The attack on Tal Afar was meant to be a military operation against terrorist strongholds, not against Sunni civilians.<\/strong> So why this entire display of sectarianism by the Shia soldiers, provoking the Sunni community?<\/p>\n

As expected, two days later<\/strong>, this event fueled<\/strong> hatred against Shia civilians<\/strong> across Iraq<\/a>. Mosques and Shia shrines were attacked, leading to the deaths of nearly 200 people<\/strong>. But it did not stop there. Zarqawi himself<\/strong> declared a ruthless war against the Shia<\/strong>, whom he considers apostates<\/strong>, as well as against the Americans and their allies<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Since Friday, September 16, 2005<\/strong>, the Shia-led Iraqi government<\/strong> has been calling for Shia unity to fight against Zarqawi\u2019s terrorism<\/strong>. Meanwhile, a spokesperson for Muqtada al-Sadr called for revenge against the Sunni extremists responsible for the killings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Are We on the Brink of a Sectarian War in Iraq?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I fear that Iraq is on the verge of an all-out sectarian war<\/strong> between Shia and Sunni factions. If both sides decide to settle their historical scores<\/strong>, the consequences could be catastrophic. The Shia are well aware of the threat looming over them<\/strong>, and they will not sit idly by<\/strong> while being targeted. They will retaliate fiercely against Zarqawi\u2019s Salafist jihadists and his faction.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At this moment, I dread<\/strong> the outbreak of a sectarian bloodbath<\/strong> in Iraq.<\/p>\n

This is where the Sunni religious leaders<\/strong> must act swiftly and publicly condemn Zarqawi<\/strong>, ensuring that Iraq does not plunge into an endless civil war<\/strong>. He is doing nothing<\/strong> to serve the interests of Iraqis<\/strong>, who have suffered horrific atrocities<\/strong>, from the era of Saddam to today\u2019s unjustified American occupation.<\/strong> Iraq must regain its full independence.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Where is the Iraq War Headed?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The turmoil in Iraq, fueled by the American occupation, is escalating daily<\/strong>, posing a growing threat to the entire region<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

My dear friends, we have witnessed<\/strong> the Wahhabi-Sunni alliance in Afghanistan<\/strong> against the Soviet Union<\/strong> and the Shia Afghans who fled to Iran<\/strong>. And we have seen where that alliance led<\/strong>\u2014it resulted in the creation of a well-organized army of Islamist terrorists<\/strong>, striking across the world without conscience.<\/p>\n

Now, if you were unaware, today we are witnessing a new authoritarian Shia-Kurdish alliance in Iraq<\/strong>, battling America\u2019s former allies\u2014the Sunni Salafists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I do not know if you realize what the future holds<\/strong>, but I must warn you: America and Europe should stop dreaming of world domination.<\/strong> If they think they can eliminate al-Qaeda<\/strong> the way they destroyed the Soviet Union<\/strong>, they are gravely mistaken<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Mark my words: A force is rising, far more dangerous than al-Qaeda or the Wahhabi Salafists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This force is called “The Largest Army of the Awaited Mahdi.”<\/strong> And believe me, it will not be easy to stop.<\/strong> It is growing, well-organized, and completely loyal to its religious leaders<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

A Dire Warning for the Future<\/strong><\/h3>\n

What is happening in Iraq genuinely terrifies me<\/strong>. This is why I am raising my voice in alarm<\/strong> to all free-thinking minds<\/strong> to witness what America and its allies are currently doing<\/strong> and what they are plotting for the future of humanity<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If no one spoke up when America was nurturing al-Qaeda<\/strong>, then I refuse to remain silent today<\/strong>. I am shouting loud and clear<\/strong> about what the United States is doing due to its ignorance of Islam and the Muslim world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I have never<\/strong> seen a government as foolish as the Bush administration<\/strong>. If they believe they can trust the Shia<\/strong>, even those in the Iraqi government, they are making a grave mistake<\/strong>. They fail to realize<\/strong> that the Shia are a thousand times more strategic than they appear<\/strong>\u2014they are highly organized<\/strong> and know how to operate discreetly<\/strong>, moving smoothly and in secrecy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The Shia have a long history of mastering such strategies, and history itself proves it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

So, my dear friends, open your eyes<\/strong> and, above all, never stop denouncing what America is doing.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n

I hope<\/strong> I have fulfilled my duty<\/strong> in condemning this reckless policy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Right now, everyone is blinded<\/strong>\u2014but we must find a real solution to the crisis in the Islamic world<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

However, this can only be done by supporting free voices<\/strong> instead of following so-called “moderate Muslims” who merely use politics to achieve their own hidden agendas<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is tragic that no one is paying attention to what is happening<\/strong>\u2014but the future will reveal the truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Regardless, I do not<\/strong> believe things will improve if the United Nations and world powers continue to play with fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
