Splitting Islam: A Shi’ite-Sunni strategy for surviving the War on Terror

Society Pakistan & World Affairs

Here is a link to this interesting article from the American conservative.

Summary:

  • Although the US govt made a mistake by invading Iraq, it should use the shia-sunni split to crush the islamic militancy in sunni regions.
  • They (meaning US) should withdraw their troops, and let the kurds and shias take care of the sunnis. A shia-sunni conflict will also take the heat out from militancy.
    *This conflict will spread to neighbouring countries especially Pakistan, and with Iran and India both having nukes, they’ll take care of Pakistani sunies themselves.

Looks like the neocons are preparing for a fullscale final World War!

I wonder when will the amreicans see these people’s agenda ! :confused:
Maybe when the whole world is in a nuke duel?

Islam doesn't need any help from outsiders when it comes to "splitting". What do they say? Who needs enemies with "friends" like these.

Long before the war on terror, and even longer before American presense in this world, Shias and Sunnis were whacking each other.

War between Aysha rah and Ali Alaih Salam wasn't started by Americans
Imam Hussain rah wasn't murdered in cold blood by the Americans.

So yes, Americans may have some strategies up their sleeves. But saying they will split Islam is the biggest joke yet.

What an interesting strategy it seems the Americans are planning, straight out of the old English book of divide and conquer

BRIDAL PICS.

yes that is true, but that doesnt justify what these colonialists do.
BTW its funny to see how hindus like you jump on the anti american bandwagon when the colonialists did the same thing to hindus for a long long time that they are doing to arabs today

its always a good idea to consider a rightwingers' point of view. lately i had been reading a lot on zmag(lefty journal), and they had me convinced that iran would be attacked in the coming months.
but now with the news of pakistan helping saudis make their own nukes, a possible shia-sunni conflict looks more likely.
