BAGHDAD - For Sheikh Mohammad Ali Mohammad al-Ghereri, a Sunni Muslim cleric, the question is no longer whether to tell his followers to fight the Americans, but how to wage war properly.

'The holy warriors should have a clerical leader with them to advise them on all points, such as how to properly treat the Americans they capture,' he says in his austere mosque in the Zafarenieh district.

For Sunni cleric Abdul Sattar Abdul Jabbar, the question is no longer whether his followers should kidnap foreigners, but which ones.

'Isn't the trucker who brings supplies for the Americans and helps the occupation also part of the occupation?' says Sheikh Abdul Jabbar, a member of the Association of Muslim Clerics, the country's largest Sunni religious grouping.

For Professor Mohammad Amin Bashar, a Sunni cleric who teaches at Baghdad's Islamic University, the limits of the classroom debate are clear.

'When two students come to us and have a disagreement, we tell them it is all right to disagree. The important thing is that we have a unified position in resisting the occupation,' he says.
