Anti-Shia
hate propaganda spread by Sunni religious figures sponsored by, or
based in, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf monarchies, is creating the
ingredients for a sectarian civil war engulfing the entire Muslim world.
Iraq and Syria have seen the most violence, with the majority of the
766 civilian fatalities in Iraq this month being Shia pilgrims killed by
suicide bombers from the al-Qa’ida umbrella group, the Islamic State of
Iraq and Syria (Isis). The anti-Shia hostility of this organisation,
now operating from Baghdad to Beirut, is so extreme that last month it
had to apologise for beheading one of its own wounded fighters in Aleppo
– because he was mistakenly believed to have muttered the name of Shia
saints as he lay on a stretcher.
