The Sunni-Shi’ite jihad has been going on for far longer than the United States has existed. The good sheikh doesn’t appear to have explained that.
“Top Shia cleric rebukes US-led world arrogant powers over sparking war in world of Islam,” Ahlul Bayt News Agency, October 23, 2021:
AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought detailed his view on the issues challenging the world of Islam and the reason behind naming the 35th International Islamic Unity Conference as “Islamic Unity, Peace and Avoidance of Division and Conflict in the World of Islam.”
Sheikh Hamid Shahriari, delivering speech on the 13th webinar of the Islamic Unity Conference 2021 on Friday evening rebuked the US-led world arrogant powers over sparking war and dispute in the world of Islam in order to justify their presence in Islamic countries.
He said,” The second problem is due to some servile Muslim states that pave the way for presence of the oppressors in Islamic countries and promote normalization of ties with enemies.”
The cleric referred to some substantial disputes and textual differences in the religious beliefs as the grounds based on which the enemies rely.
Sheikh Shahriari said the fourth issue challenging the world of Islam is betrayal of some Muslims and the extremist Shia and Sunni followers when they provide the means for dispute by desecrating sanctities of other denominations or issue permission for murder and looting others under the pretext of alleged Takfir (excommunication).
The senior cleric noted lack of religious democracy in some Islamic countries, making the state decisions by a certain family and also violating the civil rights and said,” An ethnocentric, tribal or nationalistic approach-as existed in early Islam- and following blind prejudice is the sixth issue which has plagued the world of Islam.
The Secretary General of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought noted that the seventh issue is the rebel groups in some countries and also creating an ambiance of suspicion and expansion of accusation and also bullying others for the interests of a certain party.
Sheikh Shahriari called the rivalry for achieving allegiance among countries or even using enemies of Islam to beat the rivals for the eighth issue Muslim world is facing.
Top cleric also enumerated his proposals for settling the aforesaid issues and said,” The first solution is resistance against world arrogant powers by establishing mighty military, security, economic and cultural systems.”
We should firmly stand against the US hegemony as it our experience in the imposed Iraq war and fighting Daesh terrorists show.
According to the cleric the second solution is dependent upon Muslim scholar who should distance from tyrant governments devoted to the oppressors and enemies of Islam….

Just more Islamic deceit and stupidity. Sunnis and Shiites have been killing each other since the seventh century.
Again can be seen that Islam takes no responsibility for anything, including a massive amount of black African slavery from the seventh century onward and whereby the males were ordinarily castrated.
Islam is sick to its core. No getting around this. Those who do try to get around this are demonstrating either their ignorance or mendacity.
Utterly sick of Islam. Utterly sick as well of excuses for Islam. And let me make it very clear again: 1) There is no Allah; 2) The Koran is a hate manual (never mind how repetitive and stupid it is); and 3) The reputed founder of Islam demonstrates most, if not all, of the characteristics of a brutal, narcissistic psychopath.

Reply to Wellington: Agree … but any Western person who whitewashes Islam is either unstudied in the matter or is bribed to whitewash Islam. The first person is lazy, the second is corrupt. Neither sort should lead us.

if the toilet in any Muslim’s house is broken , Muslims will blame it on USA , the west and the Jews ?? as they used to borne every Islamic terrorist attack by ISIS in Iraq on USA ??

Yes–Ayaan Hirsi Ali said that as a child in Saudi Arabia she heard neighbors blaming Jews for backed up pipes and even things like arguments with the boss. Just bizarre.

Spot on, old friend.
But, I guess it’s the cse that North Korea and Cuba would be lands of prosperity and plenty were it not for CIA operatives raiding their stores nightly to steal everything off the shelves; and there’d be one big Kumbya-stan from Nigeria to Ning Xia and Mauretania to Mindanao were it not for US meddling. Hah. I guess a dog can’t fart in some dusty Balochi village without a CIA agent feeding it beans.

Yes–these claims are just absurd. Cuba is *still* blaming its problems on the US–even though you find these food shortages in every Communist country, no matter how lush.

Between 632 (when Mohammed deceased) and 1776 (when the US was founded), WHOM DID MUSLIMS BLAME for all their Muslim-against-Muslim fighting ?

The Crusaders? The Jooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooos?

That violent bloody and deadly conflict between Sunni Muslim and Shiite Muslim started way before North America was discovered likewise way before the birth of the USA in 1776.
That Muslim cleric of Iran who said the non -historic and nonsensical statement must be attempting to take advantage of the people who are totally ignorant of history when he came out with that fool claim.

Iran: Top Shia cleric blames US for Sunni-Shia conflicts
………….
Never mind that the Sunni-Shia conflict began in 661 AD, when fourth Caliph Ali was assassinated (actually, it likely began before this, as Ali was passed over several times, but never mind–a convenient enough date).
661 AD was 1115 years before the United States even existed–well over a millenium.
This is orthodox Muslim-on-Muslim savagery–it has nothing to do with the US, or even with any other Infidels.

Muslims are never wrong, it is always non muslims’ fault for every thing bad happens to muslims. (Sound like the anti Trumper LOL )
Janet Jones says
Obama made sure the US is in the war for the global caliphate.

The Persians and Arabs have been hating, fighting and killing each other for thousands of years. The Persians used to have the biggest Empire in the world (Cyrus the Great). They got duped by an Arab from the 6th century and succumbed to Islam. Nothing new under the sun. Today, the two conflicting sides just have a religious name like Shia and Sunni. Tomorrow maybe something else. They still hate each other like he.. and each side wants the old enemy under its thumb.
Blaming someone else for their ancient conflict seems a little silly.
