This story is suspect.
A query to AI “is For God’s Sake a typical Shiite Muslim expression?” yields a reply:
Absolutely not. This is a western expression that would be thought offensive to Shia Muslim sensibilities and not used.
Got their idea from North Korea.
This is outrageous.
Lord please receive them.
No worries. Steve Witlesskoff is going to get us a DEAL with the Mullahs so everything will be just fine!
