Articles May be it was not a war against Islam but a war for Islam! Apr 8, 2005, 19:28 Iqbal Latif- Zachary Latif, Paris Islamism in the Crescent has always been misunderstood. Political Islam is an oxymoron since virtually all political platforms and movements in the Islamic world rely to a certain extent on Islamic values and thoughts. Secularism as understood in the West is a foreign concept since in virtually no Islamic nation (even Turkey or Tunisia) is there a truly secular ideology (in the end Ba'athism was tainted by Pan-Islamic appeal).

Sadr the spoiler, shows his fangs-Tens of thousands of followers of a rebel Shi'ite cleric marched in Baghdad on Saturday to denounce the U.S. presence in Iraq and demand a speedy trial of Saddam Hussein on the second anniversary of his overthrow. Chanting "No, no to the occupiers," men loyal to cleric Moqtada al-Sadr streamed from the poor Shi'ite district of Sadr City to Firdos Square in central Baghdad where Saddam's statue was torn down two years ago, in a peaceful show of strength. The square and side streets were quickly packed with crowds waving Iraqi flags and brandishing effigies of Saddam, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and President Bush. "No America! No Saddam! Yes to Islam!" many chanted. One group of demonstrators burned an American flag.
