Watheq Al-Battat, Shi’a Militia Leader, Offers His Views

Here.

Lots of aspects of a mind suffused with Islam are on display, and there is no way to summarize his views adequately. He’s against Al-Maliki, against the Iranians, and thinks that if he were in charge, and the Al-Mukhtar Militia, they would drive ISIS out and make its members put on women’s clothes, like the Mounties in the Monty-Python sketch.

The speech could be used as the basis of an SNL skit. And yet Watheq Al-Battat’s blend of bluster and bravado somehow does not offend. He doesn’t blame America, or Israel or the world’s Infidels. He talks mostly about Al-Maliki and the bad leadership of the Shi’ites in Iraq.
