“Al-Nusra and many of its hardline allies consider Shiite Muslims to be heretical” — and in Islamic law, a pious Muslim is to put a heretic to death.
How many missiles have “Islamophobes” fired at Muslims over the last few days? Why, none. Yet how much publicity does “Islamophobia” get in the West, compared to that given to the Sunni/Shi’ite jihad? Now, why is that?
“Syria rebels fire 1,000 missiles at Shiite towns: monitor,” AFP, August 10, 2015:
Beirut (AFP) – Syrian rebels fired around 1,000 rockets, mortar shells and homemade projectiles at two besieged Shiite towns in Idlib province, a monitor said Monday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said there were reports of dead and injured in the heavy fire on Fuaa and Kafraya that started on Sunday night, but it had no confirmed toll.
Fuaa and Kafraya are among the last regime-held outposts in the northwestern province of Idlib, most of which has been captured by an alliance that includes Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front.
The alliance, known as the Army of Conquest, began an attack against the villages on July 15, saying it was retaliation for a regime offensive on Zabadani, the last rebel-held bastion along Syria’s border with Lebanon.
It said the attack would “give you a taste in the north of what our people are tasting in Zabadani”.
Al-Nusra and many of its hardline allies consider Shiite Muslims to be heretical….

Were these USA weapons that were left for the enemy ?

in my view, it is better that Muslims are firing these missiles, rockets etc at Muslims then at Israel or the US or any civilized people.
Best–my view-if they fired ( and hit targets) in ISIS AND HEZBOLLAH AND IRANIAN GUARDS (and they could throw in some for Hamas) and I (for one-probably of many) would not cry.

This is the ongoing jihadist technique of ETHNIC CLEANSING AND GENOCIDE…CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY.
Jihad is nothing but a series of crimes against humanity and attacks on human rights and civil liberties against women and ‘others’.
The Shia/Sunni split treats the opposite side as 50% kafirs. Which 50% of a person do you kill?

Paradoxically, in Syria, Iran is supporting the side that does not initiate sect warfare and which protects Christians.
The US should separate the issue of nuclear weapons from conventional strategies in the Middle East. As long as Iran is pursuing a nuclear option, it should be sanctioned and subject to embargo. However, the US should not be overly concerned when Iran aids the Syrian government or Iraqi Shi’ite militias.
However, Iran has plentiful oil and a bright population. Their nuclear program must be tremendously expensive, even apart from the economic depression brought on by the economic embargo.
As long as Muslims insist on violence, it is better to allow regional rivalries to support each other’s energies: the Sunnis can attack the Shi’ite villages, the Iranians can support the Shi’ite militias, and also can nibble around the borders of Saudi Arabia, like in Yemen. It will give the Saudis something to do with their money other than buy university departments in the United States.
Also, with nuclear possibilities off the table, Israel will not get sucking into the intra-Muslim fighting. Israel has sufficient defenses to protect its borders, and conventional weapons do not pose an existential threat to Israel.

…. may sound stupid, but could we not simply give to those good moderate J-Vampire team of beheaders sunni boys MORE missiles ?
Maybe let them add something radioactive in it ? … what? Aha, Obalblama just had the same idea, but with iran / with shia’s ?
… all this sounds very, very, very promising ….
