Iranian news agency top dog: West sowing sectarian strife among Muslims, trying to block Islam’s growing popularity

Jan 23, 2014 9:52 pm By Robert Spencer

Qolizadeh

We see it again and again and again: Islamic supremacists forever blaming non-Muslims for everything, including their own problems. Endless deflection of responsibility, endless finger-pointing, endless grievance-mongering, endless claiming of victim status.

“Tasnim Chief: West Seeking to Sow Sectarian Strife among Muslims,” from the Tasnim News Agency, January 23:

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Tasnim News Agency Managing Director Majid Qolizadeh said igniting sectarian rift among Muslim nations is top on the agenda of the West, adding that the West is trying to block Islam’s growing popularity in the world.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony of Tasnim’s office in Iran’s northeastern holy city of Mashhad on Thursday, Qolizadeh said the West has intensified hostility towards Islam after people in the world start attention to Islam after failure of non-divine schools of thought, including Marxist.

He cautioned about plots hatched by the West to harm Islam, and stated, “The enemies’ strategy for encountering Islam is sowing the seeds of discord (among the Muslims).”

“The enemies intend to create internal conflict among the followers of the different Islamic schools of thought in a bid to divert their attentions from their main enemies,” he said

The remarks by Tasnim chief came a few days after Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei placed great emphasis on the issue of unity in the Islamic world in the present era, and warned that the enemies have zeroed in on sowing discord among the Muslim people.

“Today, unity is the most important issue in the Islamic world,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a gathering of Iranian officials and foreign participants in the International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran on Sunday.

The Leader also called on the whole followers of Islam to confront any factor that might undermine unity in the Muslim world, and said, “The political, scientific and religious elites have a heavy duty to create unity in the Islamic societies.”

Ayatollah Khamenei urged the Muslim pundits to invite the Islamic nations to avoid sectarian and religious strife, and called on the academic scholars to enlighten the university students on the significance of the Islamic goals.

    When the Shi’ites call for ‘unity’ with the Sunnis, you know the Sunnis are winning big.

    The reputation of Islam is in free-fall, especially among Muslims who are starting to sue the mad mullahs who preach jihad to their delusional sons who consequently get killed in inter-Islamic tribal shootouts!

    To Muslims, these issues are certaintly much more important than unity!!!

    Islam has junk bond status on the religious market. Its value has been over leveraged by lies and false claims which have led to a collapse in confidence by investors. Internecine warfare in the boardroom between the Shia and Sunni directors mean that Islam can no longer function.
    It’s time to wind up this failing so-called religion.

    Only a clown would back Islam to succeed now!

    Iranian news agency top dog: West sowing sectarian strife among Muslims, trying to block Islam’s growing popularity
    …………………………………..

    Never mind that Sunnis and Shi’ites have been killing each other for almost 1400 years now—long before there ever was a modern West.

    More:

    He cautioned about plots hatched by the West to harm Islam, and stated, “The enemies’ strategy for encountering Islam is sowing the seeds of discord (among the Muslims).”
    …………………………………..

    What he’s really hoping is that the Sunnis will stop killing them, because they don’t want to be seen as doing the bidding of the West.

    This is why both Sunnis and Shia have laughably accused each other of being ‘tools of the Zionists’…

    So far, they body count just keeps rising. And why not? That’s what Muslims have always been best at…

    More:

    “Today, unity is the most important issue in the Islamic world,” Ayatollah Khamenei said…
    …………………………………..

    This usually means, ‘can’t we all agree on killing Jews’?

    More:

    Ayatollah Khamenei urged the Muslim pundits to invite the Islamic nations to avoid sectarian and religious strife, and called on the academic scholars to enlighten the university students on the significance of the Islamic goals.
    …………………………………..

    And, of course, the Shi are only calling for “unity” because the Sunni Jihadists have the edge. If the Shi’ites were winning, the calls for “unity” would be coming from the losing Sunni side…

    God, I hate islam.

    “Endless deflection of responsibility, endless finger-pointing, endless grievance-mongering, endless claiming of victim status…” Is Robert talking about Islamic supremacists, or Barack Obama?
