For Sunni Moslems like the Saudis, Pakistanis, islamic State, Al Qaeda, Turks etc., to kill a heretic like the Shias (Irani 12ers or Zayidis in Yemen) or Alawi (like Assad) gets more prestige and reward in heaven than killing mere infidels.
Why the USA supports Saudi Arabia and pakistan, I'll never understand

(Obama's dislike of Assad is not based on his brutality but that he isn't a jihadi Moslem)
