The Religion Of Peace – The Sunni Version

Let us treat Saudi Arabia for what it really is.
“Islam will rule the Earth.” The following statement was made by an imam on July 6th at the al-Aqsa mosque located on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem:
Why are most acts of terror committed by Sunni Muslims? Because of their willingness to kill not only infidels but Muslims who disagree with them, the Sunnis control 85% or 90% of the Islamic world through past violence. The Shia or Shiites are about 10%, with another 5% consisting of various smaller “apostate” groups. Iran is the only nation directly governed by Shiites; but they are also the majority in Iraq, Azerbaijan, and Bahrain. In Lebanon, they are the majority Muslim group — but the nation is one third Christian, which makes every group a minority. Iraq, Syria and Lebanon have officially secular governments. Saddam Hussein was a Sunni who repressed the majority Shia and fought a war with Shiite Iran that the United States supported.
Do you see a trend here? None of the 9/11 terrorists were Shiites. All were Sunni, and fifteen of the nineteen were well educated Saudi Arabian citizens.
Shiites subscribe to a different
doctrine of jihad than Sunnis, believing that it can only be waged under
the command of the rightful leader of the Muslim community, whom they
call the Mahdi. Shiites believe that he went into hiding in the year 874, and that the collective duty to wage expansionist jihad is suspended until his return in the apocalyptic future.
Keep in mind the word “suspended,” because if some nutcase can convince
the Shiites he is the true twelfth imam, or Mahdi, they will join the
Sunnis in expansionist jihad. Future world domination by Islam is still
the core belief of both Sunni and Shia Muslims.
While they are against expansionist jihad at the present time, Shiite scholars do affirm the right to wage defensive jihad against infidel invaders. Iran believes it can wage jihad against Israel because the Iranian leaders wrongly view that tiny nation as an “invader” on Arab territory. For that reason, Iran supports Hezbollah in Lebanon, which conducts terrorist activities against Israel. Iran also saw the presence of Western troops in Iraq as an “invasion” of Muslim territory and supplied bomb making materials to those killing American servicemen before the Obama withdrawal. Now, the new Shiite leaders of Iraq, whom the United States installed, are buddies with the Iranians. Iran has forces inside of Iraq helping to fight the Islamic State (ISIL), which is Sunni.
Right now, the Sunni royals of Saudi Arabia see the Shiites of Iran as their worst enemies, and vice versa. At the present time, the Obama Administration seems to be on both sides. President Obama just signed a nuclear deal with Iran that angered the Sunni Saudi royals; and at the same time, he has been arming and paying salaries to Sunni fighters in Syria that are trying to overthrow the Shiite-led secular government of President Assad. Then in Iraq, President Obama is supporting the Shiites to fight the Sunni-led Islamic State. This is a very confused presidency.
How confused? President Obama celebrated the end of Ramadan in July with a salute to Islam saying: “As Muslim Americans celebrate Eid across America, the holiday is a reminder to every American of the importance of respecting those of all faiths and beliefs.”
“Respecting those of all faiths and beliefs” with one of the greatest Ramadan body counts ever. According to TheReligionOfPeace.com, this is the summary of Ramadan mayhem in 2015: Terror attacks 314 – Suicide bombings 63 – Dead that we know of 2,988 – Wounded 3,696.
All of the Suicide bombers were Sunni Muslims, and virtually all the other terror attacks were at the hands of Sunni Muslims. Obama in his statement also talked about “… an abundance of delectable foods and aromatic cuisines,” but forgot to mention the smell of death. Obama and the Western media can color Islam lily white, but the stains of blood still show through.
Currently, there are shouts from Capitol Hill that “Iran is the greatest state sponsor of terror in the world.” Yet virtually all of the current Islamic terror in the world is caused by Sunni Muslims; and a lot of those who commit terrorist acts find funding from wealthy Saudi citizens, including the royal family.
Perhaps the blinders need to be taken off by those on Capitol Hill in both parties who pander to the Sunni Muslim despots who run the hell-hole of human rights abuses called Saudi Arabia. The same sanctions and boycotts the United States has used to cripple nations in the past should be applied to the Saudi royals until basic human rights such as freedom of speech and religion are permitted in that nation. Sunni terror must be stopped, and the heart of expansionist jihad is Saudi Arabia.
The most powerful nation in the world should not be bowing to and suppling human rights abusers and sponsors of terror with the modern weapons of war to bomb civilians in a neighboring nation. Let us treat Saudi Arabia for what it really is.

“From here, from the land of the Prophet’s nocturnal journey, armies will set out to conquer Rome, to conquer Constantinople once again, as well as its [modern] symbols, Washington and London. This is Allah’s promise to His Prophet: Islam will rule the entire Earth.”The same sermon statement could probably be heard at most Sunni mosques in the world, including in the United States! Full conquest of the world by Islam is not a new concept brought forward by al-Qaeda or the Islamic State; it is a premise of the religion set forth by Mohammed himself. Jihad to conquer the non-Islamic areas is a Muslim duty and has been heavily financed by the rich Sunni states since the discovery of oil in their countries. When we hear of an Islamic act of terror, there is nearly a 100% probability that the perpetrator is a Sunni. I say “nearly” because there have been acts of terror against Israel by Shiite Muslims as well.
