Interesting how those super religious Muzzies use them for military bases, then complain when something happens, such as
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. and Iraqi forces swooped into a mosque complex in east Baghdad on Friday and detained a top aide to radical anti-American cleric Muqtada al-Sadr, the latest in a series of operations aimed at eviscerating the leadership of the Mahdi Army militia.
Abdul-Hadi al-Darraji was captured in the early morning raid and his bodyguard was killed in what Abdul-Zahra al-Suweiadi, a senior al-Sadr aide, called a "cowardly act." Al-Sadr's office said al-Darraji was media director for the cleric's political movement and demanded his immediate release.
The U.S. military, in a statement that did not name al-Darraji or mention the Mahdi Army by name, said special Iraqi army forces operating with U.S. advisers had "captured a high-level, illegal armed group leader" in Baghdad's Baladiyat neighborhood, which is adjacent to Sadr City, the Mahdi Army stronghold.
"Iraqi forces detained him based on credible intelligence that he is the leader of an illegal armed group (involved in) … the organized kidnapping, torture and murder of Iraqi civilians. The suspect is also reportedly involved in the assassination of numerous Iraqi Security Forces members and government officials," the U.S. statement said.
Just level them if the enemy wants to use them as bases. They made them fair game.

Mosque’s are only sacred when the enemy is using them as a hiding place to ambush American/Iraqi troops. Just like mis-handling a stupid book called the Koran will cause uprisings around the world when an American does it but is’s ok to be totally mishandled and disgraced when an Islamic nut puts his hand on it and swears an oath to serve and protect America. To me that makes one a garbage pit and the other garbage.
Bingo, Scrapiron, bingo.
