[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 283984, member: 2189"] Yeah the Imam was Imam Ali and he is considered the founder of Shia Islam. Those cities are of holy position to Shia muslims and not the Sunni so I'd guess the only marching the Sunni's would do is if they could kill the Shia. Like Protestants and Catholics of old, the Sunni and Shia don't tend to play nice together. Just a bit of humorous aside and I mean no disrespect but rather maybe I'm poking a bit of fun at my own southern roots. I heard someone once ask about in the islam world the broad use of the names Ali and Muhammad and what comparison in western society would those names subscribe. A good ole' southern boy quickly responded that in the south Ali and Muhammad would translate Bubba and Jr.! I laughed my arse off at that one and it just happens an american friend of mine of Islamic faith who has a wonderful sense of humor and happens to be named Ali also heard this little diddy. At a party some intro's were going around and just before it was his turn he looked at me and winked ( to my wonder of what the heck was going to happen)and then he turned to those present and exclaimed, " My name's Bubba" in the most country arse voice you ever heard. He and I were on the floor while everyone else looked very puzzled because the last thing Ali looked like was a Bubba! [/QUOTE]
