Past and present tensions between the two main branches of Islam inarguably play a part in the region’s dynamics. But the vast majority of recent violence that has brought desolation and ruin to large parts of the Middle East has little to do with those strains. The bloodiest, most vicious, and most pertinent struggles occur squarely inside the Sunni world. Sectarianism is a politically expedient fable, conveniently used to cover up old-fashioned power struggles, maltreatment of minorities, and cruel totalitarian practices.”

“The region’s most ferociously violent Sunni actor, the Islamic State, for all its anti-Shiite discourse, claims Sunnis as the overwhelming majority of its victims. The fierce battles for the Iraqi city of Mosul or the Syrian city of Raqqa pitted Sunni against Sunni. isis attacks in Egypt, Somalia, Libya, Nigeria, and elsewhere almost always have Sunnis as prey. There are few examples of wide-scale killings of Shiites by the group.”

I'll tell our refugees it's all in their heads and they can just go home safely then

2020-03-04 22:04:24 UTC  

Do you think that’s what I’m saying?

2020-03-04 22:04:45 UTC  

I’m saying your claim is absurd, not that their grievances aren’t real

2020-03-04 22:04:52 UTC  

It's not absurd

2020-03-04 22:04:56 UTC  

Your article actually confirms it

2020-03-04 22:04:59 UTC  

the division is still real

2020-03-04 22:05:01 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-04 22:05:03 UTC  

they're still fighting eachother

2020-03-04 22:05:17 UTC  

...right, but they’re also fighting themselves

2020-03-04 22:05:29 UTC  

yeah ofc they are

2020-03-04 22:05:31 UTC  

Because that's the thing

2020-03-04 22:05:36 UTC  

If they go MILD on their religion

2020-03-04 22:05:37 UTC  

Your statement was “the whole wars going on in the middle-east are _purely_ based on their religious differences”

2020-03-04 22:05:39 UTC  

They get punished by their own group

2020-03-04 22:05:41 UTC  

Sophie

2020-03-04 22:05:43 UTC  

Which is just total nonsense

2020-03-04 22:05:46 UTC  

If they want to go with modern times

2020-03-04 22:05:50 UTC  

_they get punished by their own group_

2020-03-04 22:05:54 UTC  

YEAH

2020-03-04 22:05:59 UTC  

because it's still a religious difference

2020-03-04 22:06:01 UTC  

from within the group

2020-03-04 22:06:04 UTC  

Ok, so you’re dropping your previous statement?

2020-03-04 22:06:14 UTC  

That these wars are solely about religious differences?

2020-03-04 22:06:18 UTC  

Yeah they are

2020-03-04 22:06:36 UTC  

So, nothing to do with say, Kurds wanting sovereignty

2020-03-04 22:06:40 UTC  

Just religious differences

2020-03-04 22:06:50 UTC  

Why do you think they want sovereignty

2020-03-04 22:06:51 UTC  

....

2020-03-04 22:06:57 UTC  

Man

2020-03-04 22:07:02 UTC  

If everyone had the same religion, poof, they no longer would want sovereignty

2020-03-04 22:07:05 UTC  

You go around belittle members of this server

2020-03-04 22:07:10 UTC  

You didn't know about any of this until I brought it up

2020-03-04 22:07:17 UTC  

Lol

2020-03-04 22:07:18 UTC  

and now you found an article that you want to spin your interpretation on

2020-03-04 22:07:22 UTC  

and you think you know 2 shits about it

2020-03-04 22:07:39 UTC  

I had already read the article, I looked for it when you mentioned your hypothesis

2020-03-04 22:07:45 UTC  

Dumbass muslim groups are fighting for women's rights, get punished

2020-03-04 22:07:49 UTC  

gay rights, get punished
