****te rebels take over Yemen

First Syria, then Iraq, now this.

While You Were Distracted, Shiite Rebels Took Over Yemen | RYOT News

"Their takeover of the capital also threatens to bring a violent backlash from hard-line Sunnis, creating a sectarian battle that would boost al-Qaida’s branch in Yemen, which the United States has been battling for years in a drone campaign and in coordination with the Yemeni military. The rallying cry of fighting against Shiite power could turn Yemen into a magnet for Sunni jihadis from around the region, like Syria and Iraq."

Seems like an all out Sunni-****te war is becoming more and more inevitable.

True. But they've been warring in some form or fashion for generations. I say let them kill each other. What bothers me is when the terrorists slaughter Christians because they don't convert to the fight.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Then again it is all foretold so hold on. :hug:

Christians fight as well, the U.S. army is pretty much seen as a Christian army by the Islamic world.

Unlike other so-called revolutions, it was not sectarian. Sunnis also joined it. And it did not turn into bloodshed. The revolutionaries gave up their guns and all agreed on the forming of a new government and a national army.

Very loving example of Christianity you present here. Interesting. And what is foretold? Please do share.

The matter is if they represent Christianity or not, just like if extremists among Muslims represent Islam or not.

the Late Ayatollah Mohammad Hossein Fadlallah (r.a.) explains the issue clearly here:

What did Jesus and Muhammad teach us ? - Sayyed Muhammad Hussein Fadlallah (r.)

He was loved by all Muslims and Christians in the region.

We might say they don't represent Christianity or Islam - but they do represent Christians and Muslims. Sometimes ideologies are more noble than most of the followers/practitioners....some ideologies are good or great in theory but never in reality.

According to many followers themselves, you will frequently hear how rare a "true follower" is. People choose whether to let things get a pass based on theory of how good it should/could be or by the actual results achieved.

Tendency to spawn extremists, rigorists, hardliners who bring more negativity, injustice, hate, violence, conflict, etc. into the world has to be taken into account - in my opinion. The vast differences in tendency among ideologies are not mere coincidence.

Good grief, this is very well put.

So much for Christians being "peacemakers".

Suicide bomber attack on Shi'as kills 47...

Yemen suicide bombings a reminder: Sunni-Shiite tensions matter there, too - CSMonitor.com

I watched a video on this but it was too graphic for RF. Another Sunni-Shi'a war in the making

 

[Koldaramor]

Islam did't even centuries of war. Make the sectarian war in Europe finished
This Shiite Sunni conflict never ends. Western arms companies selling weapons to the Muslims will win a lot of money.

The army sold it to them cheaply.
