Iraq/Lebanon Convert Sunnis To Shiites

This is always good to hear. So instead of creating more Egypts and Jordans, we are creating more Irans and Pakistans. Excellent. Better double up on that duct tape and plastic.

(Seattle Times) "George Bush has done us a favor. He has united the Arabs," joked Mustafa al-Sada, a cheerful, young Shiite cleric who works with many of the Sunnis who come to Shiite religious institutions here with questions about conversion.

Al-Sada said he knows of about 75 Sunnis in Damascus who have converted since fighting in Lebanon started in mid-July. The war escalated what he said was a growing trend toward conversion to the Shiite faith in recent years.

"We can touch it, sense it," he said. "We get contacts from other countries, asking us to open mosques, send clerics."

At least we have given them 'freedom' of religion. Unfortunately it is the religion of those who attacked us.
