"During their crackdown on al-Sadr’s militia, U.S. forces have been careful to avoid damaging shrines in Najaf and elsewhere for fear of enraging Iraq’s Shiite majority."

Wise... When Muslims are in the sitting position of their prayer one foot is always held with toes to the ground. Historically this was done to be in a ready position to rise up and grab your sword if attacked during prayer time. If attacked during prayer the Muslims are obligated to fight and kill the attackers.

I hope we stay clear of Mosques, even if they are being used as sheilds. An attack on a Mosque would be veiwed even worse than the Abu Graib events by Muslims.
