Iraq to ‘swim in lake of blood’ if Sadr killed
Azzaman ^ | February 27, 2008 | Nidhal al-Laithi

Posted on 03/06/2008 12:41:07 AM PST by ari-freedom

A leading figure in the movement led by Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said the group would not pardon anyone if their leader is harmed.

“In the event Sadr is harmed, Iraqi will them swim in a lake of blood,” warned Sheikh Sadeq al-Hasnawi.

Hasnawi is one of the top officials leading the movement in Sadr’s absence.

He said the cleric was currently in Iran “studying and mediating” in the religious city of Qom which is the Iranian equivalent of Iraq’s holy city of Najaf where Shiite clerics are educated and trained.

Hasnawi made the remarks in response to unconfirmed reports that Sadr was poisoned and was being hospitalized in Tehran.

“These reports that Moqtada al-Sadr has been poisoned are merely rumors spread by those who would like to see him disappear from the arena by having him assassinated,” said Hasnawi.

“Swimming in blood”...this is like the millionth time I’ve heard that...just kill the creep and kill anyone who has a problem with his death. Problem solved. No more swimming in blood...

We need to take care of business at the source: Iran. We need to invade, occupy and denazify it. That would probably go a long way toward destroying the enemy’s will to fight. ...problem is, our Nation no longer wants to do any real work.

Yeah, sure..."study and mediating" means more likely "plotting and training" at the hands of his Iranian masters.

Would this be a regular "lake of blood" or the "mother of all lakes of blood"?

The person making this point may be correct - however he may not realize exactly *whose* blood is going to be flowing(?) (Hint: The guy with the Warthog always wins)

Hey, Hasnawi, what if it turns out that the IRANIANS poisoned him? After all, you are the one who said Muqtar was studying in Qom...

It is time for Mr. al-Hasnawi to get his ticket to Paradise.

If done quickly and massively that would do the trick. The imams and mullahs and emirs would then conclude that Allah does not will that Islam shall prevail just now. Moslem countries would then revert to torpor for a few generations.

Another good comparison is the animated movie WIZARDS. It’s hard to find.
