Abu Ali said that on 1 April 2007, he and his people attacked al Qaeda in Buhriz for their crimes against Islam. He also said something that many Muslims have said to me: al Qaeda are not Muslims.

"The recent stories of baked children came to mind. I asked if Abu Ali had heard about children being baked. Ali said no, he had not heard such a story." But we heard such a story -- from the author of this post, who then said he didn't know if it was true or not. Yet here he is with the same story--which he cannot vouch for -- 'coming to mind" again! How am I supposed to believe anything this guy writes --unless, that is, it has ALREADY appeared in the Associated Press? To wit: "An AP report filed recently entitled Al-Qaidas No. 2 asks support of Muslims says: Several large Iraqi insurgent groups publicly denounced al-Qaida, saying its fighters were killing theirs and pressuring them to join the Islamic State. One group, the 1920 Revolution Brigades, has begun overtly cooperating with U.S. forces and Sunni tribal leaders to attack al-Qaida."
