Did he think the Mudslimes were going to forget about him? Shiites and Sunnis have been killing each over a stupid dispute that started 1,400 years ago.

Notice how NPR/CNN/MSNBC also avoid elaborating about the the bigotry Shiite/Summi.

Just as they “don’t know the motive” of the Muslim-on-Muslim crimes that targeted in NM recently.

Or the half a million dead which has also to do with Shiite/Alewite vs Sunni in Syria...

Anybody hear anything about the attacker?

The alleged suspect, Hadi Matar, is 24 yo. His driver license was issued May 25, 2022.

Just wondering how long he has been in the country. Born here, legally immigrated here, illegally here?

It wasn’t and isn’t a “stupid dispute”.

It started as a war of succession; who would be the next ruler if a burgeoning Islamic state.

But since then Sunnis has become quite divergent from Shia.

Sunnis are “scripture only” ie they adhere only to the Quran + the Hadiths + the Sirah.

Shia have interpreters of the Scriptures like
1. The largest group, the 12er Shia’s who are in iran have AyatollahS.
2. Syedna Bohris have a Suedna who interpreted that jihad is no longer needed so they are non violent.
3. Ismailis who have the Aga khan, who interpreted the same as the Syedna

Alright, I understand power struggles for control of an empire, and ideological differences over religious interpretations. But one is worldly, and the other is spiritual; they don’t belong together. That they’ve been feuding for 1,400 years over it is stupid and ridiculous. But I suppose that’s what you get when you turn tribal behaviors and lusts for power and domination into a religion. You get a religion that’s a lie.
