Baghdad, Feb. 26, (BNA) Iraqi Shiite Leader, Muktada Al Sadr, called on Sunni and Shiite Moslems to perform prayers together at the mosques that were recently attacked in Baghdad.
Al Sadr said there was no difference between Shiite and Sunni mosques as they are all Moslems' prayer houses which symbolize brotherhood, solidarity and unity among Iraqis. In a speech before crowds of citizens, today, following his return to Basra after a tour in a number of countries, Al Sadr called for organizing a united demonstration in Baghdad, by Moslems and non- Moslems to demand from occupation forces to leave Iraq and to condemn bloody attacks launched by those accusing others of infidelity. Al Sadr also asked the occupation forces to leave Iraq even through a defined schedule, adding that Iraqis were relieved of Saddam's dictatorship only to suffer another one, carried out by the Americans and the British. He noted that people see that security in Iraq will not be achieved by merely dismissing the US Ambassador but through total pullout of US forces from the country.
