Sunni Arabs fear threat to dominance

CAIRO, Egypt - Saddam Hussein's unruly execution, gunbattles in Iraq and U.S. airstrikes on Somalia are increasing hostility toward America in the Arab world and deepening the Shiite-Sunni divide.

The conflicts in Iraq and Somalia are not directly connected. But this week's U.S. strikes in the Horn of Africa country are feeding fears of Sunni Muslim Arabs that their historic dominance of the Middle East is under threat.

...

The Arab League bitterly warned the U.S. on Wednesday against continuing airstrikes in Somalia."The American raids against civilians will increase the tension in the region and will lead to grave consequences," Arab League Deputy Secretary-General Ahmad Ben Heli said.

Ben Heli voiced surprise that the Somalian government had welcomed the airstrikes targeting al-Qaida militants.

...

"Anything has become permitted as long as the goal is to strike Islamic radicals, even if it leads to the occupation of an Arab nation and the defiling of its political honor, making it a morsel for the Americans, Ethiopians and Israelis."

The editor in chief of the Islamic Banner, an Egyptian government religious newspaper, went further, calling President Bush "Dracula ... thirsty for the blood of Arabs and Muslims."

"He invaded Afghanistan ... then he invaded Iraq. Now I wake up to the news of U.S. forces striking Somalia, killing dozens of Muslims," Mohammed al-Zarqani wrote. "Will Somalia become another Iraq or Afghanistan? The Dracula of the modern age is determined that it will."

...

Ohhh Ohhhhh the jihadist supporters must be looking closely at the photographic reportage of the West's Leftist Freaks when they had created images of GWB with fangs that were dripping blood...
