Religious toleration?
I found this rather uplifting. Of course, the venerable Instapundit already linked to it, but I found this particular section to be of interest:
“Yesterday the “popular support” committee headed by Ahmed Chalabi succeeded in reopening a Sunni mosque in Sadr city, returning control of the mosque to the Sunni endowment department after it was occupied by Sadr’s office personnel last year. The mosque was reopened with a celebration where Sunnis and Shia prayed together behind a Sunni cleric. Before the ceremony Shia volunteers cleaned up the area around the mosque from garbage and fixed the sign that carried the name of the mosque.“
Of course, Fahdil aptly (well, in my own cynical opinion) notes that the politicians are merely trying to salvage their own punctured reputations (and whose has more holes in it than Chalabi’s?), but he believes that the hearts of the people are sincere. So do I.
Once again, progress that once more goes unnoticed by the MSM. Sorry, I can’t help but state the obvious.
