Islamic real estate worship threatens coalition troops

Arab News:

"Shiite and Sunni leaders warned US forces against raiding religious sites and towns as a Bulgarian soldier was killed in an ambush in south Iraq.

"Shiite cleric Moqtada Sadr threatened the US-led coalition with suicide attacks if it launched raids on Iraq?s holy cities. Sadr made the threat in a Friday prayer sermon at about the same time as his Mehdi Army militia attacked a Bulgarian troop convoy in Karbala and sparked a clash that left 10 people wounded, officials said."

The belief that some piece of real estate is holy because some religious figure did something in that location is a perversion in any religion. One of the founding principles of Islam was a fight against idol worship. Some have replaced idol worship with real estate worship. There is little difference.
