Yeah, but don't forget those cartoons of Muhammad! "Qaida claims Baghdad attacks on Shiites," from [1] AP, November 5 (thanks to Maxwell):

BAGHDAD - Al-Qaida's front group in Iraq has claimed responsibility for 91 deaths in a string of attacks on Baghdad's Shiite districts....

The group's statement was posted Friday on a militant website. It says the assault Tuesday on Shiite civilians at restaurants and cafes across the capital was "the first day of many bloody days to come."

The Islamic State of Iraq is an umbrella group that includes al-Qaida in Iraq and other Sunni insurgent factions.

The group this week also threatened more attacks on Christians, after it took responsibility for a shocking siege at a Baghdad church during Sunday Mass that left 58 people dead.
