Reading the news accounts of the recurring destruction of many mosques in Iraq, I came across a comment in Aljazeera that says - ‘Wake up people! No Muslim would destroy a mosque’...the Samarra bombing is a deliberate attempt by the occupiers to win and stay in control by further dividing Iraqis... to support the argument, the anonymous writer also linked the current situation of Iraq with the British divide and rule policy in India.
Gotta agree with whoever posted that comment on Aljazeera as in true sense all that is happening now in Iraq is just the by-product of Bush’s misadventure and not to link the oil law, especially since the US claimed that it came to Iraq as a ‘liberator’ and not to control its resources.
Iraq now lies mostly in ruins and so do many of its mosques. One believes this was unavoidable because mosques are being used as locations of arms caches or resistance to the advancing US troops. It seems a little mind-boggling that why would these insurgents bring down their mosques on themselves given the fact that Islamist respect for insurgency brings mosques into a supportive role.
United State’s justification for responding to mosques as battlegrounds knows neither any public policy boundaries, nor any program of if, when, and how you plan to rebuild these beautiful structures. All over the Islamic world, great numbers of Muslims see pictures and believe the US is destroying their most sacred buildings. Memory is long in the Middle East...
