What kind of religion promotes the idea that one douses other men with gasoline and burns them alive? I mean the slaves and rape thing is kinda hard to comprehend, but burning people alive? thestar.com 25 Sunnis die in revenge killings Nov. 24, 2006. 12:57 PM ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq — Shiite militiamen doused six Sunni Arabs with kerosene and burned them alive as Iraqi soldiers stood by, and killed 19 other Sunnis in attacks on their mosques today, taking revenge for the slaughter of at least 215 Shiites in the Sadr City slum the day before. The mosque attacks came after the government, in a desperate attempt to avert civil war, imposed a sweeping curfew on the capital, shut down the international airport and closed the country’s main outlet to the shipping lanes in the Persian Gulf. The Mahdi Army militiamen, armed with machines guns and rocket-propelled grenades, swept through Hurriyah neighborhood near an Iraqi army post, burning four mosques and several homes, and attacking worshippers as they left Friday services, said police Capt. Jamil Hussein. Gunmen loyal to the radical anti-American Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr had begun to take over the mixed neighborhood this summer and a majority of its Sunni residents had fled. Three Sunni mosques elsewhere in Baghdad came under attack later in the day, and in Sadr City a U.S. helicopter shot back at Shiite militiamen who opened fire on it from the ground, residents said. There were no immediate reports of casualties.
