Shia
Bread of Heaven or Wines of Light
Posted April 24th, 2007 by Hakim BakerI have so much to say and so little time to sit and type. Chainsaws & yoga. Master of the Jinn and Blue-Eyed Devil are both delightful, though in rather different ways. (Thanks to Irving, Baraka Bob, and Mikail El.) We have dandelion wine brewing. Getting the garden cleared and planted.

Iraq: Sunni Pose as Shia to Survive
Posted August 15th, 2006 by SitaramJust now, on Radio BBC, Mazin Younis of the Iraqi League was interviewed regarding a list of tips compiled for fleeing Sunni to pass as Shia and escape.  ÂÂ
I tried to find a link in google, but failed.
Sunni are advised to acquire ID which omits their tribe name. Some tribes are solid Shia. Other tribes are solid Sunni. Yet other tribes are mixed. ÂÂ
Cell phones are routinely confiscated and examined for clues to Shia identity. The tip sheet suggests having a Shia song and photo on the cell phone.
Taxi license plates reveal the town. Avoid taking a taxi from a town that is known as Sunni.
