Sunni insurgents fight Al Qaeda

Some Sunni Iraqis have apparently declared war on the al-Qaeda "insurgents" led by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. They have achieved significant victories against the foreigners, driving them out of Anbar and forcing them back to the border ... the Iranian border. From http://telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/03/11/wirq11.xml --
Quote:
Insurgent groups in one of Iraq's most violent provinces claim that they have purged the region of three quarters of al-Qa'eda's supporters after forming an alliance to force out the foreign fighters.
If true, it would mark a significant victory in the fight against Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the head of al-Qa'eda in Iraq, and could partly explain the considerable drop in suicide bombings in Iraq recently.
Suicide bombings in Iraq have dropped considerably? The US mainstream media has failed to tell us this. I wonder why.
Quote:
The claims were partly supported by the defence ministry, which said it had evidence that Zarqawi and his followers were fleeing Anbar to cities and mountains near the Iranian border. ...
In reaction, the insurgent groups formed their own anti-al-Qa'eda militia, the Anbar Revolutionaries. The group has a core membership of 100 people, all of whom had relatives killed by al-Qa'eda. It is led by Ahmed Ftaikhan, a former Saddam-era military intelligence officer.
It claims to have killed 20 foreign fighters and 33 Iraqi sympathisers. Many more are said to have fled. The United States has confirmed that six of Zarqawi's deputies were killed in Ramadi.
Let's see how long it takes for someone to post in this thread that this represents more "proof" of a "civil war" in Iraq.

So who are the true Sunni muslims, Al Qaeda or the Sunni Iraqis?

I don't blame them for wanting ALL foreign fighters out, regardless of the foreigner's country of origin.

Well, there was just a suicide bombing in a Shi'ite area that killed 39 people:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060312/ap_o...zkxBHNlYwN0bQ--
While it is possible that suicide bombings have dropped in frequency, the violence continues unabated. Yesterday many people were killed in drive-by shootings, mortar attacks, and bombings.

There have long been animosities between the hardcore Islamist foreign fighters in Iraq and the other Iraqi insurgent groups. I read that it was a common opinion amongst Iraqi insurgents that once America left they would have to fight the foreign militants.
Strangely, I view this as more proof of how many Iraqis don't want Americans in their country. They were willing to align themselves with religious nutjobs who engage in blatant murder in order to try to drive us out of there. They must not like America very much in order to have made that initial alliance.

It is really terribly funny, in a sad sorta depraved fashion. We are looking at evolution right before our eyes. These middle easterners are going to remove themselves from the gene pool, in the name of God.
In the end violence only serves the soil.

This is a 100% true, but in the words of the insurgents themselves the Sunni Mujahadin council has the right to recruit other arabs as much as the coalition forces can recruit countries to fight for themselves. This is the way the insurgents see this.
Zarqawi may be taking a lot of heat for killing Shia's from the Sunni's who would rather see the Shiias attacking coalition forces.
I guess some may not define it as a civil war, i guess in the sense that they dont wear blue and grey, but to me its evident that Iraq is in a state of civil war.

Neither you fucking moron. If you can't destinguish between a religion and people who use a religion for power than you should become a hermit.

I suggest you re-read the forum rules provided in the sticky post at the top of the first page. Flaming is a bannable offense.
You get one warning. This is that warning.

Maybe its accelerated evolution, since these subhumans have access to guns and bombs now, whereas centuries ago it would only be swords, knives and other vintage weaponry.

There is no difference between a religion and those who use a religion for power.

people have used Christianity for power for longer than Islam. Same with Judaism, same with conceptsl ike 'democracy' and 'freedom' or 'communism'. anything cna be turned around and used to control people. In the case in the mideast many people are using Islam.
Now about your ocmment about swords and whatnot. Lol. If you think the Islamic world hasnt contributed to math, science, astronomy, and literature you are one ignorant motherfucker.

perhaps.
I am not fond of those who despise a general group of people. If people would learn to be compassionate and open-minded there would be alot less conflicts.
