Mredi Army*
I do not know if the negotiations will have a positive or negative result but I think they gave Muktada Al-sadr what he wanted, they gave him the fame that he wanted. He is now on almost all news and newspapers headlines and I think he doesn't deserve anything of it.
Many Arabic news channels show him as the hero of Najaf and he is the only one from all the shia's clerics who stands against the occupation strongly. All the people I know from Najaf city are fed up with his militia and what they have done in their city. They said that they are out from our city and they imposed themselves here by power.
I think if Al-sadr controls the situation, it will be worse than in the days of Saddam, at least Saddam won't make us return to dark ages. Al sadr has his own religious court and his own laws and the one who want obey his rules will be punished and maybe whipped. Women are forced to wear head scarf (hijab) and his followers are annoying Christian people in Basra. you can't talk against him in public because his followers are every where and if they heard someone doing so, he will be punished. I heard in the news that his court even had given death penalty against some policemen .
Most of his militia are form the poorest, uneducated low-class shias. Many of them are gangsters and criminals and they did most of looting that had happened after Baghdad failed.
Have you seen any of his spokesmen whose age is above 40, what experience they have to decide the future of the country. I think this militia should be terminated or they will cause problems every now and then.
I blame Iraqi clerics for the way they are dealing with those problems. I am not against them in religious fatwas. They helped a lot in protecting many important places from looting and they helped in returning back many stolen things. They helped a lot in uniting shias and sunis. But I blame them for the last Fatwa they issued against those who will fight against al sadr militia. Why haven’t those clerics issued similar Fatwas when Al mahdi Army attacked police stations and killed many policemen and mutilated them in Najaf. Aren’t those policemen Iraqis working hard to establish peace to our country. If this shrine is holly to them, they can fight outside it and not hide in it.
This is my point of view I wanted to share it with you.
* Mredi is a big place in Al-sadr city were stolen goods are sold.
