CNN reports:
The group al Qaeda in Iraq -- which has been behind many of the worst attacks, beheadings, and kidnappings in Iraq -- has issued a manifesto in which it calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims."
Shiites do not belong among "true Muslims," the group says, calling their faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism."
It also declares: "We vow by the name of God that we are determined to destroy the American empire," adding that the insurgency is stronger than Washington acknowledges.
The document also warns there will be no end to the insurgency.
"The call for jihad goes on until doomsday, whether there is an imam calling for it or not."
Of course, there is absolutely no evidence of an "al-Qaeda in Iraq," a supposed mutation of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al-Tawhid wal-Jihad, but this does not stop CNN and the corporate media from declaring such a beast exists. It was only a couple weeks ago the dead Osama was said to be on his way to Iraq to micromanage his organization, and in November of last year it was "reported" the Army of Ansar al-Sunnah (allegedly an Iraqi resistance group) had merged with al-Qaeda, although as usual there "was no way to confirm the veracity of the statement" posted on the internet, according to CBS News. And thus a large chunk of the resistance is now indistinguishable from al-Qaeda, the CIA manufactured terror organization named after a database, or so the corporate media tells us.
If indeed the above is true, Osama and Abu are a couple of stupid terrorists. In Bushzarro world, this terror duo plan to take on millions of people, including every Shi'ite on the planet, when logic dictates that if they really wanted to kick the United States out of Iraq and the Middle East they would make allies of the Shi'ites, first in Iraq and then elsewhere in the Muslim world. Instead, Osama and Abu are bent on widening the schism between Sunnis and Shi'as, thus perpetuating a conflict that has divided the two sects since the death of Muhammad in 632 AD. Of course, all this tension and hatred works nicely for the Anglo-American occupation and the ultimate goal of pitching the Middle East into chaos and bloody conflagration.
CNN continues: "The [al-CIA-duh] e-book includes numerous sections totaling dozens of pages, covering such topics as how the Quran justifies beheadings and why democracy is wrong. The document does not list an author. It refers to al-Zarqawi in the third person, possibly indicating he did not write it." Of course not, and that's because al-Zarqawi died in the Sulaimaniyah mountains of northern Iraq some time ago. It is the dead al-Zarqawi's mission to convince the non-Islamic world that Islam is a religion of grisly savagery and sadistic intolerance and militant Muslims are degenerate serial killers. Such characterizations, disseminated by the corporate media, make it easier to sell forever war and ruthlessly kill target populations.
As if on cue, the day after CNN reported the issuance of the al-CIA-duh in Iraq hodgepodge e-manifesto, two "Sunni Arab tribes, one loyal to al Qaeda and the other to the government, clashed in western Iraq, killing at least 20 people and wounding scores, clerics and hospital officials in the town said on Saturday," Reuters reports. "The Sunni infighting comes only a few days after two Shi'ite militias battled in several Shi'ite cities including areas of Baghdad." In short, the planned civil war between Shi'a and Sunni -- and the fratricidal conflict of Sunni versus Sunni and Shi'ite versus Shi'ite -- is well under way, much of it at the behest of al-CIA-duh in Iraq.
