Moktada Al-Sadr was a Shi'ite leader who organized an insurgency after the defeat of Saddam Hussein. There is a long history related to this man but I will try to be brief and to the point. What you are about to read may seem like a fiction novel but this is serious as you will see once you read it. His father was a major Mullah (Shi'ite scholar) who fell out with Saddam and was killed. Moktada rose on the father's shirt tails of popularity without claim to being a scholar himself. Note: The people Muslims call scholars, we call clerics or sheiks. Sheik simply means leader in Arabic where as cleric is a mis-applied western term. Moktada Al-Sadr hates Americans as much as Al-Zaraqawi. The hate each other more. He should be viewed as the Shi'ite form of OBL. He began to preach to his followers that Al-Mahdi is preparing to reveal himself and that the Americans know it and plan to murder him (our real reason for invading Iraq). The Al-Mahdi is a figure believed by both Shi’ites and Sunnis to exist in non-visible form. Prophesy says he will reveal himself near the end of time and go to pray with Jesus (second coming) in Mecca. Following that he will lead the world Kaliphate government as Jesus leads the World’s religion. In order for this to take place the final war has to be fought, with the Mahdi’s Army as victor. Al-Sadr was the only insurgent leader that was simply allowed to walk free after battling the combined US Iraqi military for several weeks with a few hundred fighters. So, he told the members of the Al-Mahdi Army that they would stop the insurgency for the moment but that the Al-Mahdi Army would never be disbanned. They would win power politically in Iraq and then control the wealth of the world. They had been promised the backing of Iran by the Mullah named Sistani (That's why they agreed to stop the insurgency). Following that rise in political power, they would complete their mission. When/if we have to deal with the Al-Mahdi army, it will make our struggle with Al-Quaida look like a kindergardener’s camp.
