On the morning of June 25 and in the days that followed, Iraqi newspapers were overloaded with articles condemning the brutal killing of four Egyptians Shiites in a village near the Giza governorate.
Naturally, prominent Iraqi political and religious figures issued statements condemning the killings and many comments were posted on the pages of social media sites, where the incident was displayed with links referring to fatwas recently issued by clerics accusing Shiites of apostasy.
