Re: Rise in attacks against Shias
True that. This stuff like “gustakhe sahaba” is not more than an excuse put forward by those hateful bigots to try to justify their fasad in the eyes of common simpletons. And we know there are nincompoops who do buy this stuff.
Reality is that fasad against anyone opposing them is the very basis of their philosophy. They will find any excuse to kill anyone who opposes them in anyway. For example, they consider anyone supporting democracy a kafir and therefore worthy of killing. There are similar excuses against everyone.
The only way to stop violence is to kill them on the spot, and punish their financiers and supporters.
