Sistani has told Shi'ites not to kill Sunnis. But Sunnis don't seem to have returned the favor. Sunni/Shi'ite Jihad Update: "Insurgents kill sleeping Iraqi villagers," by Tina Susman for the Los Angeles Times (thanks to Twostellas):
BAGHDAD — Heavily armed insurgents ambushed sleeping residents of a Shiite village north of Baghdad early Saturday and killed at least 13 people, including a child, police and a Shiite official said.In Baghdad, political tensions heightened between Sunni Arab lawmakers and Prime Minister Nouri Maliki's Shiite-led government after raids a day earlier on a leading Sunni politician's home and office. Members of the 44-member Sunni bloc walked out of the parliament session Saturday to protest what they called the house arrest of Adnan Dulaimi. They pledged to boycott legislative sessions until Dulaimi was free to leave his Baghdad home.
Dulaimi said that Iraqi soldiers outside his home had prevented him from going to parliament Saturday and prevented his sister from entering when she came to visit.
The lawmaker is a vocal critic of the government and has accused it of using the raids, and house detention, to try to quiet him.
Security forces detained dozens of Dulaimi's associates and his son Makki on Friday after a car bomb was found outside Dulaimi's compound. They have said he is being kept inside for his own safety and have not accused him of being involved with the bomb. They have not announced charges against any of those detained.
The village attack occurred in Dwelah, in volatile Diyala province. An official from a nearby office of Shiite cleric Muqtada Sadr, who identified himself as Abu Ali, said the dead included a Shiite sheik, Adnan Bawi, three of Bawi's sons and a 2 1/2 -year-old girl.
Police said the attack began about 6:30 a.m. and involved dozens of suspected Sunni insurgents loyal to the group Al Qaeda in Iraq, which once held large parts of Diyala. A combination of U.S. military offensives and the banding together of Iraqi volunteers opposed to insurgents has weakened militants' grip on the province, but attacks continue.

The Sunnis can feel power slipping through their fingers, and they're panicking.
It's only gonna get worse.

Iraq, like the rest of the region, is very balkanized. We can always keep patroling the place until it settles down, in, oh, a few centuries anyway.

From the article:
Heavily armed insurgents ambushed sleeping residents of a Shiite village north of Baghdad early Saturday and killed at least 13 people, including a child
Where did the "heavily armed insurgents" get the idea that it was morally acceptable to attack and kill unarmed people while they are sleeping?
Qur'an 7:97 "Did the people of the towns feel secure against the coming of Our wrath by night while they were asleep? Or else did they feel secure against its coming in broad daylight while they played about (carefree)? Did they then feel secure against the Plan of Allah? But no one can feel secure from the Plan of Allah, except those (doomed) to ruin!"

Thx, special_guest. Notice the identification of power and conquest with divine will. Very clever.

Leave it to the LSslimes to use isolateds to make into mass commonalities that aren't...especially given recent (and begrudging) admissions that things aren't the hell on earth they tried to claim...
especially from pots calling the kettle black, like the LSslimes (who's gone into self-destruct by trying to divert their own lies by *ahem* eating their own)...
http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/la-et-rutten1dec01,0,4122002.column?coll=la-home-center
(just one example of many, how slimes must be taken with a lot more than a grain of salt).
After all, the MSM's infallibility is still reeling from it's now-exposed propaganda-for-the-enemy platform...like this despicable deviancy exposed by Michelle Malkin.

(some still believe this liar even after he fessed up)

...and don't forget the perennial pahblum pogue's, like Helen Thomas & the NY slimes.

case-in-point, it's always important to scrutinize, especially "info" from the MSM, and keep it in proper context, which the MSM often takes it out of, intentionally in nearly every case.
Reagan was right...
"Trust...but verify."

I'm sure Allah approved of casting that filthy infant into eternal hell...afterall, it was being raised in a different variation of Islam than the Shi'ites. We must be more tolerant and understanding of cultural practices that may be different than our own. I'm sure the Shi'ite baby killers had only the best intentions when they slit the infant's throat.
