LETTER ON SHIAS IN
IRAQ:
An unusual claim against
New Trend
REF: NEW TREND's REPORT by "IRAQ MONITOR" which
went as follows:
"U.S.
Media's
Coverage of the Karbala Gathering:
Covering Up the Tragedy of
Iraq
our Analysis: A gathering in Karbala is nothing
strange or unusual... The
Shias are allowing themselves to be used,
throwing salt on the wounds of the
Ummah..."
COMMENT by: Shaikh Mohommed, London, England
I think to introduce the word "Shias" in this
coverage is exactly what
Bush
and his stooges want. But the leadership in
Iraq is wiser than your Iraqi
Monitor. Shias and Sunnis together are insisting
on true independence for Iraq
and for america to go away. Demonstrations are
held in Baghdad almost daily
against
U.S. occupation.
There is no difference
between Shias or Sunnis on the
ground in Iraq. Recently a joint demonstration
took place in Baghdad i.e. by
Sunnis and Shias, and they both are united
against American presence. Perhaps
your monitor should not be carried away by
propaganda of
CNN.
