"1) who are the foreign fighters entering country? Muslims"

I correct: No, Arabs..mainly from Saudi Arabia and Syria

"2) who are the criminals and thugs who are kidnapping and killing and committing crimes?
Muslims."

I correct: yes some are Muslims, some are alian Arabs and some are British spies.

"3) who is the insurgency? Muslims."`

"I correct: They are Baatists or former regime elements where you find Muslims, Christian and Assyrians. "

5) who are the infiltrators of the security forces and militia members and insurgents? Muslims.

I correct:
Primo, there are Shiite Arabs and those are two factions: a- The Sadrists (followers of Iranian based Shiite cleric named Ayatollah Kazem al- Haeri represented in Iraq by Muqtada al Sadr) b-The Badr brigade of the Islamic Revolution Party (followers of former Iraqi clerick Ayatollah Baqir al Hakim, and now following Ayatollah Muhamad Saeed Al Hakim). There is an unknown group parallel to these two operating in a high secret fashion supported by Iranian Revolutionary Guard known to Israeli and British inteligence as Hizbollah (of Iraq not of Lebanon). These guys get the command directy from Ayatollah Ali Khamenei supreme Iranian leader (the info on the last group is allegation so far by Israeli and British media -bbc today- and I can neither confirm nor negate this one, Donald Rumsfield today talked about the revolutionar guard of Iran being infiltrating which seems to confirm this allegation from a USA stand point)

Secondo, there are The Beshmerga militias (followers of the kurdish power pole represented byTalibani and Barazani). Primo and secondo have cooperated with the Coalition of the willing with inteligence and manpower to topple Sadam. All of them have seats in the Iraqi parliament and are part of the Iraqi legitimate power structure.

Infidel, I give this info so that next time when you see a Volcano or an earth quake somewhere, you will not say Muslims did it. Try to read more books and the bibliography Dr Pipes refer to in this website is just amazing. Just get you something enriching..

Later,
