I’ve been trying to learn more about Sunni/Shiite, so your link caught my eye. So I went to read, and as I’ve learned from FR, always check out sources that are new to me.

After researching MintPress, I am now not sure about anything I might read from them. Here is a link from FAIR, dealing with MIntPress and Syrian chemical weapons use. Seems MPress’ version, which was heavily quoted in all the news reports I read and heard, was disavowed by the supposed reporter.

Originally thought I would write you privately, but thought, why not discuss it with all. As I said, I am still trying to figure out the Sunni/Shiite thing.

All I remember was from the Clinton years. The only good ones in Iraq were the Kurds.

These tribes are all nuts and it's the same problem in Afghanistan....little power houses.

I sent you a link to study the Jihad you wanted to know about, it is written by intellectual historians from a neutral perspective (non-religious).

Their historical accuracy helps us see the intensity of the conflict between Sunni and Shiite.

As for reporters who approve or disavow things, it makes you wonder are they Arab, Liberal, or Well known neutral...because only neutral reporting is necessary. Any religious, nationality, or country loyalty will be scewed in someone’s favor.

I guess in a warped sense this conflict is like the Hatfield and McCoys...sort of.

Let me give you a Christian link to see the Sunni-Shiite conflict from the Biblical viewpoint. Both accounts should correlate... If you understand the old Persian Empire. You can see what is happening today to fulfill this prophecy:
http://www.kjvbible.org/daniel.html

This is not going to be a short conflict, imho...look for Turkey, Pakistan, and other influences to be a part of this Iran-Iraq fight> Sunni-Shiite sorting out of old hatreds, if this is Daniel’s prophecy of end times.

WE think we can only take certain Republican approved links to prove a point, when in fact some of the less religious links (not liberal but historical facts) that stick with history and when compared with the Bible we see there is the picture of what prophecy we are witnessing. As long as they are not trying to fulfill a political agenda.
