I wrote the top comment above, being in a very black, satirical mood.
It seems that a lot of folks think Shiite is synonymous with something
worse than a rabid rat.  As someone else eloquently pointed out, no
matter what label you put on a group of people, there will be those who
are good, and those who are bad.  Bad upbringing breeds stereotyping,
I suppose.

I'm not sure what to make of the comments above.  My guess is that Mr.
Mokhtarian was being satirical and that Mr. Ingram was showing how it
takes one to know one.
