Eating their own again are they?
terrible to reap what you sow.
Sorry for the dead. Live by the sword...
hmmmm....
and?
while (Number of Sunnis >0 OR Number of Shias >0)
{Extreme Sunnis (Wahhabis, Deobandis and Salafists) kill Shias AND extreme Shias kill Sunnis }
ISLAM = Death and destruction.
This is how it appeared in the "latest posts" column.
Sorry, I couldn't help it.
Strange match-up.
The Iranian régime is getting a small taste of what they have been exporting for years.
salaam
People always say that raw and mossad are supporting and funding taliban and other groups in Pakistan but recent reports start to suggest that saudi arabia is also funding them through there charities and believe it or not am sure alot of Pakistan public knows this already. if you look at the madarassas the taliban are from and lakhsar taiba and other Pakistan millitant groups, they all are funded by saudi charities. and this is not just in Pakistan, if you look at somalia you will see that alot of funding for the groups come from saudi arabia and the reason is they follow their version of islam ie wahabism. and if you think about taliban and other terriorist group activities you will see alot of times they target sufi shrines and their graves and sunni mosques and the reason is they label them as infidels and they believe these people should be stopped or killed.
So i was wondering why Pakistan is not stopping these charities and not giving saudi arabia a warning because pakistanis are gettiing killed by saudi arabia in another words because the saudis only care about promoting their version of kwarijism. I think personaly Pakistan should send a warship and a submarines to saudi waters and then warn them because i think this is serious issue as people are getting killed and so far around 10 sufi shrines have been destroyed and also so many sunni leaders murdered and thousand of innocent Pakistani public and army killed, and if the funding is stopped by atleast 70 80 percent then trust me the talibans and their crew will feel the heat

Getting a little taste of what their own did to Iraq for the last few years?
He referred to the Saudis as “promoting their version of kwarijism” The Kharijites were the first sect to appear in the history of Islam, splitting up into more than 20 different sub-sects. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kharijite
Here's a brief synopsis.
Iran has been ruled by an Islamic fundamentalist government since 1979, but there is one area where they've been unwilling to allow Shiite citizens to express their faith.
Imam Hussein was a Shiite Muslim holy man who became a martyr to his faith, and a sacred shrine to his life's work has been established -- in Iraq.
Given the political tensions between the two nations, the Iranian government has not been willing to allow its citizens to cross into Iraq, even for a religious pilgrimage, while Iraq has shown no greater willingness to allow Iranians to visit their nation.
Despite this, nearly every day more than a thousand Shiite Muslims attempt to cross into Iraq to pay homage to Imam Hussein, and many will go to remarkable (and dangerous) extremes to make the voyage.
Some will cross desert minefields, others will ride through in the backs of covered trucks, and while a good number are captured by border patrols, many slip through undetected. Being captured generally means serving at least a year in prison, but the faithful press on, believing that Allah's law trumps the Iranian legal system.
Pilgrimage (aka Ziarat) is a documentary that takes a sometimes witty but always respectful look at this legal and spiritual paradox, and the travelers who are caught in the middle. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
What I found interesting was the praise the Iraqi & Iranian Shias had for the Americans.
The Iranian border cops were saying all sorts of nasty stuff, (the women weren't pilgrims, they were whores for Americans, etc).
Several people said the Americans in Iraq fed them, treated the women with respect, etc. They said that the Americans had always been portrayed as evil, yet it was the Iranian government that was mistreating them.
Oh well. The only good Muslim is a ...
LOL
Imam Hussein was no “martyr” in the Christian sense. He fought a battle trying to defeat the Ummayyyad Caliphs and become the Caliph (=Emperor+Pope rolled into one), and lost and was killed. Is that a martyr??
The answer was, invariably, no.
The local coroner spoke of the pilgrims that die while in route. Landmines, shootings, dehydration, etc.
Many pilgrims paid about $80.00 to unscrupulous "guides" who promised them that they'd be able to cross the border.
They'd often be robbed, or dropped off in the middle of the desert, killed, etc.
More than one person claimed to be the relative of a "martyr", that is, someone who died during the Iran/Iraq war.
Supposedly that carries some sort of prestige or privilege.
The border guards weren't easily impressed or persuaded. It seems that if that were the case, they would have had official documents stating so.
