Hardly. Quite a few locals are fed up with the jihadis, particularly
al Sadr's mob.


Then they should be turning them in to the authorities,or fleeing the
area.

I doubt that in one of those rallies,that ANTI-jihadis are mixed in
the crowd.Heck,you can see them all waving their arms,and waving
flags,banners,etc.That's not anti-jihadi behavior.

Look at it logically - you're on the way to the shops to buy a hun of
cheese, take a wrong turn, and find yourself caught in the middle of a
mob who you don't support - do you

a. Chant and shout along until you can get the hell away (my personal
choice)

Why can't you just turn around and leave,WITHOUT cheering and shouting,or
antagonizing them? That's what I'd do,then I'd get on a phone and call in
what I knew. Unless you call while they're right next to you,they aren't
going to know what you're discussing on the phone. I believe the phones
still work there.
