Yup:
Civil War (?), Religious War?

I heard an analyst (or pundit, if you prefer) compare this to a (hypothetical) bombing of the Vatican.
Think that might get some Catholics a bit upset? |

As if it weren't already clear Iraq was a mess:

At least 111 people were believed killed in two days of rage unleashed by Wednesday's attack on the Askariya shrine in Samarra, a mostly Sunni Arab city 60 miles north of Baghdad.
The hardline Sunni Clerical Association of Muslim Scholars said 168 Sunni mosques had been attacked around the country, 10 imams killed and 15 abducted since the shrine attack. The Interior Ministry said it could only confirm figures for Baghdad, where it had reports of 19 mosques attacked, one cleric killed and one abducted.
The bullet-ridden bodies of a prominent female correspondent and two other journalists who had been covering Wednesday's explosion in Samarra were found on the outskirts of the city. |

Ahmadinejad warns Israel over blast in Shi'ite mosque in Iraq
By Reuters
Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned Western powers like the United States and Israel that they would face the wrath of Muslims following the devastating bombing of a Shi'ite Muslim shrine in Iraq.
Echoing Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Ahmadinejad pinned the blame for Wednesday's Samarra shrine bombing on "Zionists" and foreign forces in Iraq.
"These heinous acts are committed by a group of Zionists and occupiers that have failed. They have failed in the face of Islam's logic and justice," Ahmadinejad said in a speech broadcast live on state television.

"But be sure, you will not be saved from the wrath and power of the justice-seeking nations by resorting to such acts," he said to cries of "Death to America" "Death to Israel" from a crowd of thousands of supporters in central Iran.

dude, many arabs think Al-Jazeera is an American/Zionist controlled station, with the intention of preventing unity amongst Arab nations.
And when I mean many, I'm including westernized, educated Arabs as well. |

It's amazing what you can get people to believe when you control their news sources isn't it? |
