By Mazin Yousif Eshaiker The Silent Iraqi Majority is fed up with foreign terrorists using Falluja as a spring-board for their bloody attacks on Baghdad. The Silent Iraqi Majority is also fed up with Muqtada's attempt to hijack the Al-Sadr Movement [started by the Grand Marji Muhammed Baqir Al-Sadr] in order to promote his own dictatorial agenda. The Silent Iraqi Majority is fed up with these two groups using Islam (both Sunni and Shia factions) to promote their narrow political agendas in Iraq. No Iraqi political or military force would dare confront the thugs in Falluja and Koufa. Since law and order hardly exists, everyone has been terrorized by the murderous nature of these thugs, including the Grand Marji Al-Sayid Ali Al-Sistani. His eminence has been very careful not to offend the 23 year old `cleric-wannabe' and has been urging both sides to negotiate their differences instead of military confrontations. Coalition forces led by US/UK are doing Iraq a great big favor. By challenging the ex-Mukhabarat Officers, Saddam's Fedayeen and Wahabi Zealots in Falluja; by cornering Muqtada and the handful of supporters around him in Koufa, Iraq would be free of these Anti-Democracy forces. Both groups are using Saddam-like tactics of hiding behind the innocent inhabitants of Falluja and Koufa as human shields for their cowardly fight. The fear that both groups have is Democracy. In Falluja, ex-Mukhabarat officers and the Fedayeen know that once democracy is established, it will render them useless. Muqtada also fears that he has no chance in a free and democratic election (Iraq's interim constitution bars convicts from running for office). Wahabi Zealots, financed and supported by Syrians, Saudis, Yemenis and Egyptians are the operational arm for those respective governments which equally fears Democracy in neighboring Iraq. The closer we get to July 1st, the more potent these Anti-Democracy groups get. The terrorist tactics they are using was handed to them by the likes of the PLO and Hamas [Arafat was offered Gaza, the West Bank and was negotiating for a quarter of Jerusalem, where today he is happy to get a quarter of Gaza]. The events of the last year has clarified to these groups what a "New Iraq" really means. It means Shia and Sunni share power. It means that Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians and Turkomans are all first class citizens. It means the will of the majority without oppressing the minority. It means introducing a new Iraqi army based on competencies, not family affiliations. It means freedom of speech and freedom of worship. Unfortunately, these groups only thrive on chaos, lawlessness and the law of the jungle. These groups have recently discovered kidnappings, a much more profitable cycle than highway robberies. They indulge themselves in a win-win cycle. They kidnap foreign nationals, they parade their sickening videos on satellite channels, they negotiate a small fortune for their release and then they claim political credit for releasing them in front of a staged Al-Jazeera and Al-Arabiya cameras. Once again, thank God for the Coalition Forces for dealing with these two groups prior to returning sovereignty back to Free Iraqis on July 1st. Free Iraqis. Thumbnail Image
