Ps. From what we hear, the shrine/grave of Ali, Prophet Muhammad's cousin and Islam's fourth caliph is not safe. We cannot believe the Iraqis are harming it. Iraqis would NEVER do such a thing, no matter how bad the Saddam can be. It has been there for centuries and no one ever touch it. Iraqis have been there always. They would NEVER touch the grave or bring harm to it in anyway. Its not possible. That's who US and British are blaming it on. This is something we cannot believe because its impossible. Its another war taktic. If anyone dare to bring harm to it then
I watch FOX news because they try to be fair and ballanced in their reporting where some of the other networks don't. They are saying that Iraqi soldiers are hiding in the shrine. The coalition are NOT firing on it because they know it is sacred and do not want to damage it. When some of the Iraqi citizens got upset because the soldiers were too close to the shrine, the soldiers moved back. I saw this just about 2 minutes ago. I understand how you feel about it though. I felt the same way when the Church of the Nativity was desecrated last year.
