Iranian clergymen and theological students on Monday voiced protests to what they called "sacrilegious invasions of holy sites in Iraq by coalition forces." About 50 clerics on Monday staged a half an hour sit-in in front of the UK embassy in Tehran, shouting "Death to UK" and "Death to US" and setting paper flag of Britain ablaze in protest to the ongoing war in Iraq.
Guys? Look, this is not a good time to go making faces and burning paper flags. Take my word for it...
According to sources close to residents of Karbala and Najaf, west of Iraq, the cities are now calm and people lead normal life and pay regular visit to holy sanctuaries.
