    There was a piece in the Irish Times yesterday on the Iraqi reaction to the burning of a German flag in the city of Basrah by Iraqi Shias in the southern city. They also mentioned that these Iraqi shias were members of Al Queda. I thought that most Iraqi Shias were opposed to Al Queda as they were a Sunni dominant group and they carried out attacks on Shias, and Coalition forces.

    Really a news/media sort of thread. You are right about the sunni/shia thing.

    Mike.
