Some sense from Ayatollah Sistani.

Ayatollah Al Sistani deserves credit for this statement. If this keeps up, it might be possible to have a real dialogue!

Al-Sistani, who wields enormous influence over Iraq's majority Shiites, made no call for protests and suggested that militant Muslims were partly to blame for distorting Islam's image.
