  • CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL IRAQIS and thanks for the support shown by people everywhere!!!

    BUT while we celebrate the whabbi machine in saudia arabia is pouring out countless fatwas ordering the killing of shia....the latest ones order whabbist to destroy the shrines in kerbala, najaf...basically the dearest to shia...if that happens then kiss the mid east goodbye.
