Like their hardline Islamist brethren in other nations – such as the Taliban in Afghanistan, and the Islamic Courts Union in Somalia, among others – the Islamic State of Iraq (or “ISI,” the name under which al Qaeda in Iraq has organized itself in this country) has built a reputation not only for committing acts of terrorism and brutality both against its members’ own countrymen and against the coalition, but also for being a proponent of the most medieval, fundamentalist interpretation – and enforcement – of what its leaders claim to be the laws of the Koran.
Come join us for a slice of Americana with a helping of conservative politics on the side. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Al Qaeda And Its Sickening Brutality
Jeff Emanuel reporting from Samara, where he is imbedded with the Soldiers, tells of the capture of an IED/rape cell leader. The guy bragged about his AQ affiliation and gave graphic details of his cell's operations, beyond the IEDs, they randomly gang raped Iraqi women.
It is a main reason the people have rejected them, Gayle. It is looking more like simble gang activity using the AQ name as an excuse for violence.
