You mean like this:

"People of Samarah started local campaign to clean up ruble and start rebuilding the bombed Shrine, while other residence joined a demonstration calling for national unity. The crowd chanted 'Not Sunni Not Shiite...one one national unity.'

"Iraqis form local Shiite committees to protect Sunni Mosques in Basra and the south."
"Large (peaceful) demonstrations broke out again today in Basra, protesting the heinous attacks on a Shiite shrine in Samarah. Over 100,000 protesters participated chanting condemnations against the attacks and calling for self-restraint and following religious instructions (from leading religious references) for calm. Sheik Abdul Husein Almuhamdawi (a religious leader in the province) said; 'Local national Shiite committees have been formed to protect local Sunni mosques from over zealous individuals.' A source in the local Basra police leadership mentioned that 'Talha' mosque and two other mosques in southern Basrah were subject to light gunfire but no one was injured."

...they've ( Sunni and Shiia clerics) to not attack holy places.

They don't consider the US and allies holy.


a week ago, there was more than 100k wanting to kill the Danes too...numbers numbers.


Don't get me wrong, i know the majority of Iraq's populace want an end to the violence. A majority also want the US and allies out of there yesterday.

Lets hope the new Sunni-Shiite coalition also stands guard on the oil refineries and pipelines.
