Please don't be sectarian. Specially when it is Unity Week in Iran. There is 1.6 billion muslims, and they say between 75% to 90% of that is Sunni. That's over a BILLION.
When it comes to terrorism, as majority of the Sunni population do not engage or support terrorist groups, this makes it obvious that it is not a "sunni" issue. It's a political issue which is linked to a specific branch of Islam, usually coming from a specific country (has the initial S.A. and it is not South Africa).
By the way, I'm typing this in English because this is an English forum.
Not once has Imam Khomeini or Imam Khamenei have ever generalized Sunnis in a negative way. I implore upon you and other Iranians to not fall into sectarian traps.
Imam Khomeini,
"Today, world peace is such that all countries are under the political influence of the superpowers; they observe a control everywhere and have schemes for defeating every group. The most important of these is sowing discord among brothers.
Muslims should be awake, Muslims should be alert that if a dispute takes place among Sunni and Shia brothers, it is harmful to all of us, it is harmful to all Muslims. Those who want to sow discord are neither Sunni nor Shia, they are agents of the superpowers and work for them.
Those who attempt to cause discord among our Sunni and Shia brothers are people who conspire for the enemies of Islam and want the enemies of Islam to triumph over Muslims. They are the supporters of America and some are supporters of the Soviet Union.
I hope that through considering this Islamic precept - that all Muslims are brothers - all Islamic countries will triumph against the superpowers and succeed in actualizing all Islamic ordinances.
Muslims are brothers and will not be segregated by the pseudo-propaganda sponsored by corrupt elements. The source of this matter - that Shias should be on one side and Sunni on the other - is on the one hand ignorance and on the other hand propaganda of the foreigners.
If Islamic brotherhood comes to the fore among Islamic countries, such will become a great power which none of the global powers will be able to cope with.
Shi'ites and Sunnis brothers should avoid every kind of dispute. Today, discord among us will only benefit those who follow neither Shia nor Hanafi. They neither want this nor that to exist, and know the way to sow dispute between you and us. We must pay attention that we are all Muslims and we all believe in the Qur'an; we all belive in Tawheed and must work to serve the Qur'an and Tawheed."
There are two sides here.
- A Common Westerner or Easterner don't know the difference when some Terrorist Takfiri group kills under the name of Allah... Most commoners accept that Islam is all about Takfiri terrorists... They don't know that Shia Muslims are number of targets of these so called Muslim Wahhabis... so, I say... Whatever ISILL/DAESH/Al Nosra do we as Shia Muslims will be affected hard too...
- Scholars who know the difference between Shia and Sunni sects and fake Takfiri Wahhabi will only blame Sunni Extremism and Salafi sect.
A Western friend of mine asked me a question a while back... He asked "If Muslims are obliged to kill whoever who is not Muslim how come Christians, jews and other sects lived among Muslim nations for centuries?" He said" Is it a neglected Islamic rule that now is being applied after 1400 years?"
Ignorance, dirty Media war, lack of knowledge about different sects have led the majority of non-Muslims to believe that Islam and Muslims are naturally born terrorists as they have to kill whoever who is not a Muslim which is a total lie.
The percentage of terrorist attacks who involved Muslims as attackers are only a fraction of total terrorist attacks being done in last couple of decades or even now as we are talking... The number of terrorist attacks by Non-Muslims around the world is far more than what Muslims has done... The number of Muslims got killed innocently by West is a lot more than Western innocent causalities...
Christians commit terrorist attacks on Muslims every day, in Mali, in Myanmar, in Norway, in USA but you never see the world label those as Terrorist Christians...
Unfortunately, most Muslim people and authorities are sleep and in deep ignorance about what is going on against them... They don't see how West is trying to diminish the whole Islam idea using all sorts of soft and hard means...
Muslims should act active... They should make Christian, Jewish, Buddhist terrorist attacks bold for the world so people wake up from this delusion... Muslims should educate the world that Islam never asked Muslims to kill whoever is not Muslim... They should tell the world how Prophet Muhammad used to live in a country where all sorts of other religions were living peacefully... Muslims should educate the world how some dirty dictators are using oil money to spread fake Islam under the name is Wahhabi/Takfiri ideology... This cancer colony of Takfiris must be removed from the body of Islam... It is not far when all under-attack innocent sects will have to fight back and the whole Islam becomes a local civil war scene...
"Jihad" in Islam was and is never an invitation to attack non-Muslims... It is to defend Muslims if Attacked First...
Low literacy rate is the main feeder of these Takfiri terrorists... This ugly aspect of some Muslim nations helps criminals like Saudis or other Salafi Takfiris to spread their hate by brain washing poor, uneducated people..
The other blame goes to tens of countries who let these scumbags initiate Takfiri schools under the name of Islamic center or Mosques all around Europe and the world... World needs to wake up now or millions of brain washed Wahhabi/Takfiris will turn the world into hell...
