Et Tu Al-Manar? This is What Sectarianism is All About!


Sayyed Hakim: Iraqis Will Decide Their Fate in This “Decisive” Election

Al-Manar "Exclusive"

"As the Iraqi people are waiting for the polling stations to open for Sunday's parliamentary poll, more than one million Iraqis living abroad started voting in their host countries looking forward to the birth of the new Iraqi government. Iraqi elections were held in Jordan, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, and Iran.[ Comment: Even some Israelis voted, in Jordan!]

In an interview with Al-Manar website, Secretary General of Imam Al-Hakim Foundation in Lebanon said the Iraqi elections were “decisive” after all Iraqis knew that there is no salvation for Iraq but active participation in the political process where only the constitution and law could secure them [The Constitution written by Bremer?].
Sayyed Ali Al-Hakim, responding to a question asked by Al-Manar editor Wael Karaki, said the importance of this election lies in that it is the base for laying the foundations of consensual democracy [Are you serious? Democracy under US and Iranian boots?] that would maintain civil peace.

Mr. Hakim said Iraqis today have freedom of choice [That is a big lie; thousands have been excluded from running because of supposed ties to the previous regime] after the ruling parties in Iraq were imposing list of candidates that Iraqis had never heard of before noting that Iraq can choose whomever it deems appropriate [Big lie, again!]......"
