The attacks and suicide bombings that have ripped through hundreds of mosques and shrines across Iraq are affecting Muslims profoundly, causing some to abandon Friday group prayers in the mosques, one of the holiest Muslim rites. Prayer is one of Islam's five pillars, and the Koran encourages worshipers to pray in groups on Fridays.
This is no small thing to abandon for devout moslems. Prayer is far more communal in Islam than it is in the other monotheistic faiths.
If Cheney had an actual heart, as opposed to the space-aged polymers that comprise that sad pulsating thing he has, that is what he'd be offended by.
