Fallujah under one estimate holds 5,000 ex Baathist, criminals and leaders of Saddam gang who want to continue the Sunni stranglehold of the Iraqi populace, liberal losers will soon be invading wires once this next is cleansed out, they will consider Fallujah as example of arrogance of neo cons new power, how ever Fallujah cleansing is only an effort to clear a cancer.. Saudi clerical junta today drew open lines and called for holy jihad, they have natural enemy the possibility of a democratic Shiite led Iraq that will counter their religion and their domination of wahabbi Islam. Prominent Saudi religious scholars urged Iraqis to support militants waging holy war against the U.S.-led coalition forces as American troops prepared Saturday for a major assault on the insurgent hotbed of Fallujah. The 26 Saudi scholars and preachers said in an open letter to the Iraqi people that their appeal was prompted by "the extraordinary situation through which the Iraqis are passing which calls for unity and exchange of views." The letter was posted on the Internet. "At no time in history has a whole people been violated ... by propaganda that's been proved false," Sheik Awad al-Qarni, one of the scholars, told Al-Arabiya TV. "The U.S. forces are still destroying towns on the heads of their people and killing women and children. What's going on in Iraq (news - web sites) is a result of the big crime of America's occupation of Iraq." In their letter, the scholars stressed that armed attacks by militant Iraqi groups on U.S. troops and their allies in Iraq represent "legitimate" resistance. The scholars were careful to direct their appeal to Iraqis only and stayed away from issuing a general, Muslim-wide call for holy war. They also identified the military as the target, one that is considered legitimate by many Arabs who view U.S. troops and their allies as occupiers. The independent scholars — some of whom have been criticized in the past for their extremist views — apparently did not want to antagonize the Saudi government, a U.S. ally, or appear to be flouting its efforts to fight terrorism.
