Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi (aka the Butcher of Baghdad) addressed “a gathering of Sunni religious scholars in Tehran,” where he attacked “imperialism” for standing in the way of a “united Muslim world.” He also pushed the Palestinian cause, which is the basis of more unity among Shia and Sunni Muslims than most Western authorities are willing […]
Yemen: Shi’ite Houthis murder three civilians, including two children, in artillery shelling targeting Sunni village
The Houthis once stormed the U.S. embassy and took hostages.

Iran: Islamic State claims responsibility for jihad attack that killed two people at Shi’ite shrine
The Islamic State is acting with increasing impunity worldwide while Western analysts assume it has been defeated or dismiss it by repeating the false claim that it has nothing whatsoever to do with Islam. “Suspects Arrested after Shiraz Terror Attack,” Tasnim News Agency, August 14, 2023: TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Four suspects have been arrested in […]
Pakistan sets minimum of ten years prison for disrespecting wives, family members and companions of Muhammad
“The bill appears to take aim at some in the Shia community who openly curse one of the Prophet’s wives (may Allah be pleased with her) and his close companions (may Allah be pleased with them)….” That would be Aisha and the first three caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar, and Uthman. The Shia generally hate Aisha, […]
Iran and the Taliban working together to counter the Islamic State in Afghanistan

Pakistan: Government claims 400,000 social media accounts blaspheme Allah, Muhammad, the Qur’an and more
Many of these are Shi’ite accounts, as is clear from the references to blasphemy of “the Mothers of the Believers, the Companions of the Prophet.” Shi’ites often disparage Aisha, “the mother of the believers,” because she opposed Ali, and Muhammad’s companions, the first caliphs, Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman, for the same reason. In any […]
Pakistan: Muslim arrested for ‘offending the prophet’s companions’
Charging someone with disrespect for Muhammad’s companions is essentially saying that the offender is a Shi’ite. Someone who “defiles the sacred name of any wife” of Muhammad is likely deriding Aisha, Muhammad’s child bride. Shi’ites hate Aisha, because she opposed Ali ibn Abi Talib, whom they believe was Muhammad’s rightful successor. So this law is […]
Why the Taliban is Threatening to Conquer Iran
How amusing that two fanatical Muslim regimes, in Iran and Afghanistan, are now at one another’s throats. Though Iran is Shi’a and Afghanistan Sunni, this not a sectarian conflict, although the Sunni/Shi’a certainly helps to stoke the antagonism. It is, rather, a conflict over water, specifically over how much water Iran and Afghanistan should be […]
Taliban and Iran Start Killing Each Other
“We will conquer Iran within 24 hours.” There’s an upside to leading from behind.

Biden’s retreat from Afghanistan hasn’t been […]
