Muqtada Al-Sadr interview

The most important thing Al-Sadr said is:

What ever happened, Mahdi Army will still exist so long the occupation exists, no matter what will happen to me.

There will never be Al-Sadr political party because we don’t want religion clerics in at the head of the government, clerics will be advisors and observers to the government, it doesn’t mean that we should split religion from politics, because politics is religion and religion is politics.

What about the sectarian killing in Iraq, especially by Mahdi Army?

I don’t agree with this sectarian killing, and I condemned these killings many times, and I want to open a new page with all Iraqis, Sunnis or not we all should resist the occupation.

There will be always sectarian killings, Sunni against Shiites, Kurds against Arabs, as long as the Americans in Iraq.

Is the struggle in Iraq political or sectarian?

At the government level it is a political, at the public level is sectarian.

And where are you?

If you noticed, that in the parliament the Sadrists and the Sunnis are very close, we always agree and oppose the same laws.

What is exactly your relation with Iran?

I told them to not involve in the Iraqi struggle, I told this to Khamenei personally.

    I’ll just reiterate what I have said many times in many ways in the past: Muqtada al-Sadr is part of the solution and not part of the problem of Iraq. And the immediate mechanism for all of this offensive in Basra and Sadr City is to kill Muqtada al-Sadr and smash the Mahdi Army, thus removing one of the last remaining nationalist building blocks, essential for a unified and independent Iraq. And that’s why Bush is cheer-leading it.
