SUNNI vs SHIITES



Shiites and Sunni have been at war for the past fourteen hundred years, but for the last fifteen years the United States (motivated by oil interest) has inserted itself into the fray; and in the process destabilized the entire Middle East. 

CBS Sunday Morning gave a quick overview of the religious/ geopolitical factions involved and the crazy alliances the US has committed itself. 

  

This is a Religious Civil War that needs to happen; but we cannot extract ourselves, because our commitment is not to one side or the other - but to oil.

It doesn't have to make sense: it is Religion. '

THE OL’BUZZARD’S ANTI-SEMATIC RANT




WHEN I STARTED THE BLOG THE IDEA WAS TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS.



Yes, I have a problem with the Jewish religion……and the Christian religion…. and the Moslem religion …..and the ….. all religions in general.

This violence we are experiencing in the middle-east has been caused by fanatical Christians publishing a movie that enraged fanatical Moslems, resulting in the death of four American embassy personnel and an international dilemma for our country.

Religious intolerance accounts for the majority of violence, oppression and conflict in the world; and, throughout the world, religious instigated unrest far out ways any good that is done by local churches on the micro-level.   This is nothing new.   The bloody history of religion has been the bane of the human race from the earliest recorded history. 

The contempt toward the United States throughout the middle-east is the result of two factors: Our politicians loudly avowing that the U.S. is a Christian nation, and our blind allegiance to The State of Israel.  

Our support of Israel, as much as anything else, has made us a pariah among Arab nations.   Israel’s constant intrusion with new settlements into Palestinian territory, along with Israel’s suppression and mistreatment of the Palestinian people continually enrages Arabs throughout the middle-east and by extension inflames sentiment against the United States.

Because of the Jewish influence (money, votes and some Armageddon prediction adored by fundamentalist Christians) our legislative branch of government refuses to set parameters by which The State of Israel can expect our support.   Without our support Israel could not exist; yet, the Israeli government constant acts independently, and often against the best interest of the United States and peace in the middle-east.   This absolute commitment without constraints will cost us dearly at some point in the future.
