Contrast the anonymous comments with the official Sunni Endowment words from the article: --- "The Association [of Muslim Scholars] has always justified killing and assassinations carried out by al-Qaida," the head of the Sunni Endowments, Ahmed Abdul-Ghafoor al-Samarraie, told reporters at the mosque, built by Saddam Hussein to commemorate the 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Al-Samarraie said the association had opposed the Sunni revolt against al-Qaida, which began last year in Anbar province and is spreading throughout the Sunni heartland. He said the association opposed any group formed "to purge their neighborhoods of al-Qaida elements." --- Also see 2005 article - "Major Sunni umbrella group, Sunni Endowment, calls on members to register for next round of elections ..."
