Iranian Minister: "Islamic Republic of Iran is a good example of the countries where Shia and Sunni have been living in peace for hundreds of years" -- as twelve Sunnis are killed

It is so inconvenient when news events contradict one's taqiyya. "'Islam seeks maintaining world peace,'" from the AhlulBayt News Agency, April 18:

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Iran's Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance highlights the Islamic Republic of Iran as a manifest of religious tolerance and fraternity between Shia and Sunni saying Islam is the religion which seeks maintaining peace in the world.

In the presser held on the sideline of the spring meeting of the World Bank Group in Washington, Seyyed Shamseddin Husseini was questioned about the long time opposition between Shia and Sunni and his proposal to alleviate the tension.

Iranian Minister of Economic Affair and Finance said, "Islamic Republic of Iran is a good example of the countries where Shia and Sunni have been living in peace for hundreds of years in peace."

"The commonalities of Shia and Sunni is so much that they have to be highlighted especially when some pour out their problems on Islam by setting Qur'an on fire," said the official, pointing to the Florida church Terry Jones Qur'an burning which angered world muslims. ...

Whoops: "Iranian Sunni protesters killed in clashes with security forces," by Saeed Kamali Dehghan in the Guardian, April 18 (thanks to Twostellas):

At least 12 people who are believed to belong to Iran's Sunni minority have been killed in clashes between security forces and anti-government protesters in the south-western city of Ahwaz since Friday.

On Monday, Shirin Ebadi, Iran's Nobel peace prize laureate, wrote a letter to the UN high commissioner for human rights, in which she said "more than 12" Sunni protesters had been killed in Iran's oil-rich province of Khuzestan, home to many Arabic-speaking Sunni Iranians.

According to Ebadi, hundreds of people in Ahwaz had gathered for a peaceful demonstration against the Islamic regime's discrimination towards its Sunni minority.

"During these clashes, more than 12 people were killed, around 20 injured and tens of protesters have been arrested," Ebadi wrote in her letter.

She criticised Iran's treatment of the Sunnis and said: "In the 32 years' history of the Islamic Revolution, Arabic-speaking Iranians have suffered from inequality and an extensive discrimination."...

Oh, a dozen killed here, a dozen killed there - a mere bagatelle from the the 1.5 billion slaves of Allah. In fact, these deaths by Muslim killing Muslim are simply exceptions that prove the rule that everything is really peaceful in the wacky world of Islam. The fact that they're repeated just means the rule is proved repeatedly. :))

Shia and Sunni stories.
(At least they agree on this one)

I don't know if they are living in peace, but they certainly are resting in peace.

This is one of those times when each opposing side say the same thing..."Allahu Akkbarrrrrr"...

Yea, and think of the devil of a quandry it puts that ol' devil allah in, does he award the 72 proverbial remanufactured virgins et. al. to the muslim murderers, to the muslim victims, or just what the devil does he do? Oh well, he'll no doubt devise a devil of a plan, to dispose of these troublesome over exuberant chaps, no doubt. Tally Ho, boys!

Minorities do horribly in the theocratic terror entity. Just as Punjabis rule the pakistan terror entity, farsis form the ayatollah-tyrant class in iran.

OT: we speak here of deservedly marginal Jewish dhimmis, but what about Jewish dummies? Kahanists with Canada's JDL had to apologize when one of their members equated gay leadership with Nazi fuhrers, at a rally. Rather than retreat until their credibility is restored, they have set themselves up for counter-protests by picketing a gay activist organization. If gay groups are using public funds to support paleo islamonazis, then the politicians should be picketed for stupid politics.

The slaves-of-allah are not the greatest academic achievers; India has to fund a islamic school system whose curriculum devotes 40% of all study to worthless arabic and islamic courses. (But even science is islamized, with "jinn" being allowed to be the animating spirits behind light and energy; muslims have to believe that jinns were created from light) However, if a slave wants to pass exams, all he has to do is pray to the arab tribal "god" concoction.

Iran is 90% Shia and 9% Sunni, w/ Zoroastrians, Christians & Jews making up the rest. Also, Iranians are 50% Farsi, and the rest comprises of Kurds, Azeris, Arabs and Baluchis. So what I wonder is - are all of Iran's Sunnis Kurds and Baluchis, or are there others? In other words, does this minister think that since the Sunnis are oppressed not on religious but ethnic grounds, he is being accurate?

sunnis are opressed on religious ground and so are the rest of minorities. for example the supreme leader is Azari. so religon only.

those Sunnis don’t like it when the boots on the other foot, the way that Sunnis slaughter Shia, i am surprised this isn’t a daily occurrence, then again it is.

Well, usually it's Sunnis murdering Shi'ites, but since Iran is the world's only Shia majority state, it runs true to form that they are oppressing and killing Sunnis.

Keep in mind, "living in peace" in Islamic terms usually means "oppressed so thoroughly that they are rarely much of a problem to the Muslim majority", whether the subject is dhimmi Infidels or minority-sect Muslims.

God, I hate Islam.

Huh-uh. And let's not forget that the Soviet Constitution guaranteed religious freedom. Totalitarians think and act and lie alike.

This is why Iran will lose.

Whilst we can & should worry about the oil-rich Saudi Arabia funding terrorism/Islam around the world, one can sit back & laugh at the sheer idiocy of the Iranian Islamists.

Shi'ite Islam is the "Islam" of Islam. It's anti-Arabic, claims that Mohammad couldn't have been their bastard prophet but that the "Angel Gabriel" "made a mistake" by not going to Ali. It's inherently contradictory, not that Sunni Islam isn't. I mean, they're trying to combine Iranian fascism with Islamism & it won't work. They'll lose.

They're so lost in their fantasy, they don't realize by how much Saudi Arabia is in the lead for their race to Islamic empire.

Muhammad said (in Hadith) Reported by Awf ibn Malik Al Ashja'l:

The Prophet said, "How will you be O Awf when this nation is divided into 73 sects. One sect will be in Paradise and the rest in Hell."

Muzzies who butcher their own have over a 98% chance they are persecuting a heretic, and over a 98% chance they should in turn be slaughtered by their fellow Slaves of Allah. With those odds they should be spilling each other's blood and it would be pleasing to Allah.

They (the Companions) said: Allah's Messenger, which is that? Whereupon he said: It is one to which I and my companions belong.
Transmitted by Tirmidhi.

Did anyone keep track? Sucks being a Mo Man...

constant lies.

Are Iran's Arabs Sunni? I thought they were Shia, like the ones next door in Basra

How do their heads not explode from all the excrement that fills them?

From Wikipedia:

Sunni Muslims are the largest non-Shi'a religious group in Iran...

In recent times about 8% of the Iranian population is Sunni - mostly Turkomen, a minority of Arabs (mainly in Hormozgan Province), Baluchs, and Kurds living in the southwest, southeast, northeast and northwest.

Whenever you find religious minorities in Dar-al-Islam—whether Infidels, other-sect Muslims such as Sunnis here, or "heretical" Muslim sects such as the Ahmadi—you can be *sure* that they will be oppressed, persecuted, and targeted for violence.

That would be the "mother of all work-accidents", Todd.

So, the "Arab" Muslim population of Iran (Arab Muslims consider themselves true Muslims as Muhammad was Arab. Who says there is no racism in Islam?) is claiming discrimination and demanding equality with Iranian Muslims? The native (conquered by Islam) peoples of Iran are ethnically Persian, not Arab. I doubt that people have already forgotten the power war between Iraq (Sunni) and Iran (Shiite). But, the global jihad is apparently at the stage where they need to prepare the way for the Muslim world (Sunni and Shiite) to unite in their global conquest and plunder, to be loosely united under their political Mahdi/Imam. The poverty-stricken Muslim masses were not enriched by the Middle Eastern oil boon because it was used to plan and fund the global jihad. Now that that oil reserve has plateaued and new fields are being conquered in Africa and South America, those masses are being enticed by the promise of plunder of the West. But first, they need to establish their equality in supremacy.
