All the believers who are loyal to the people of the House of Prophethood, peace be upon them, and who repeat the saying: (I wish we were with you) until they adopt from this great affiliation a practical approach to unity, affection, brotherhood and altruism, and renounce discord and ward off strife for a country that aspires to stability and complete all constitutional steps in a spirit of responsibility and keenness to perform Honesty, giving priority to the people’s interest over all considerations, and effective cooperation to achieve the legitimate aspirations of a country whose land was honored to embrace the tomb of the master of martyrs and the scenes of the imams from his descendants, which is the landing place of angels and the hearth of the hearts of lovers from all over the world.

When it comes to pulling off religious events & activities they're johnny on the spot getting it done...too bad they can't focus that kind of attention & accomplishment when it comes to running Iraq.

Pretty hypocritical to continue to offer congratulations, goodwill & brotherly love when those same criminal politicians are systematically tearing apart & fleecing the country & people: then shame, admonish and tell the protesters to calm down when they've been driven to the breaking point because of decades of oppression and poverty. . . Oh, and offer a forum of national Dialogue to air grievances & more talk... IMHO of course.

[DoD]

Totally agree horsesoldier, this cult of Islam is another driving factor of the violence in the Middle East and especially against women. 
Your correct also about the hypocritical and phony congratulations of the brothers to one another on each of their cult holidays because yesterday they threatened to kill each other.

I’m done, sorry for the rant but I guess my tolerance for this circus is about gone…
