al Qaeda submits alternate Iraqi constitution
The group al Qaeda in Iraq -- which has been behind many of the worst attacks, beheadings, and kidnappings in Iraq -- has issued a manifesto in which it calls for violence and hate for all but "true Muslims."
Shiites do not belong among "true Muslims," the group says, calling their faith "a confession of polytheism and rejectionism."
It also declares: "We vow by the name of God that we are determined to destroy the American empire," adding that the insurgency is stronger than Washington acknowledges.
The document also warns there will be no end to the insurgency.
"The call for jihad goes on until doomsday, whether there is an imam calling for it or not."
