Why Sunni-Shia conflict is worsening

June 8, 2013 ⋅ 8:14 am ⋅ Post a commentFiled Under Arabs, Hezbollah, Iran, Muslims, Shia, Shiites, Sunnis, Syria

By Geneive Abdo

Funerals for Hezbollah fighters killed in Syria while fightingagainst the mostly Sunni Syrian rebels. Over 150Hezbollah fighters have reportedly been killed while

fighting in support of the Syrian regime of presidentBashar al Assad

When the influential cleric Yusuf al Qaradawi recently called on fellow Sunni Muslims to join the rebels fighting SyrianPresident Bashar al-Assad’s regime, he effectively called for the Sunni-Shia conflict in the Middle East to escalate in some

countries and start anew in others.

Qaradawi said he was not demonizing all Shia Muslims — but that is precisely the effect of his inflammatory words. Hedenounced al-Assad’s Alawite sect, an offshoot of Shia Islam, as “more infidel than Christians and Jews.” signaling a

broader demonization of all Shia. He also said the Lebanese Shia militia Hezbollah (whose name means “the party of God”)is really “the party of the devil.”

10/21/13 Why Sunni-Shia conflict is worsening | Ya Libnan | World News Live from Lebanon

“How could 100 million Shia (worldwide) defeat 1.7 billion (Sunnis)?” Qaradawi asked, speaking May 31 in Doha, Qatar,about the two largest Muslim sects. “Only because they (Sunni) are weak,” he said, attempting to inspire the Sunnis to go toSyria to fight against al-Assad and prove their strength.

“I call on Muslims everywhere to help their brothers be victorious,” Qaradawi said in his sermon. “Everyone who has theability and has training to kill … is required to go” to Syria. “We cannot ask our brothers to be killed while we watch.”

Such provocative statements are classic Qaradawi, whoin 2008 warned of the “Shiitization” of the Middle East. But as aclever operative, he knows this time his statements could escalate the conflict in Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.

Qaradawi’s rhetoric could also embolden the Sunni majority in Saudi Arabia and the Shia majority in Bahrain, where the

Sunni royal family is fighting a Shia-led uprising. In addition, his statements could add legitimacy to the alarm in Egypt,where Sunnis fear a possible, though improbable, infiltration of Shia Islam from Iran.

Qaradawi, who is a controversial figure in the West but

has millions of Sunni followers, timed his remarks on the heels of a speech a week earlier by Hassan Nasrallah, the

Hezbollah leader. Nasrallah acknowledged what had been an open secret — that Hezbollah fighters are in Syria battling theSunni opposition and supporting the al-Assad regime.

Like Qaradawi, Nasrallah said his condemnation of the Sunnis did not apply to all — just those fighting al-Assad — but he

too aimed to escalate the sectarian animosity that has already begun to grip the Muslim world.

What is striking about the statements by Nasrallah and Qaradawi, and their timing, is that the other open secret — a

deepening sectarian conflict spreading throughout the region — has now been publicly acknowledged.

In the past, both men attempted to talk in fake pleasantries about the other sect. Nasrallah claimed Hezbollah was fighting

the “resistance” (the war against Israel) for all Muslims, and Qaradawi spoke of closing the divide between Shia and Sunni.

On May 31, Qaradawi reiterated this message in his Doha speech and explained why he has had a change of heart.

“I kept calling for years (for efforts) to bridge the gap between sects, and traveled to Iran during the era of former President

Mohammad Khatami (but) these fanatics (in Iran) and hard-liners want to disempower the Sunnis. They deceived me and

deceived many others like me by saying that they, too, want to bridge the differences,” Qaradawi said.

It is entirely possible that escalation of the sectarian conflict will lead to a profound remapping of some Arab states. This is

already a likely possibility in Syria. If a negotiated settlement is not reached between al-Assad’s government and the

opposition, al-Assad and his minority Alawites could partition the country by forming their own enclave, apart from theSunni majority.

In Iraq, Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al Maliki is trying to sustain and consolidate Shia dominance by excluding the Sunni

from important institutions and labeling them terrorists. More broadly, the country is witnessing a return of Shia-Sunniclashes at the societal level — some of the largest since 2006. Even before the Syrian civil war began, sectarian conflict was

a major outcome of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.

In the tug of war between the Shia and Sunni, Nasrallah’s power is likely to diminish while that of Qaradawi is likely to rise.

Once a leader who had support among the Sunni for defeating Israel in a battle in 2006, Nasrallah, in fighting for Assad, has

transformed himself and his movement into a strictly Shia paramilitary force engaged in a war with an uncertain outcome.

Qaradawi, however, is riding a wave of Sunni triumphalism in the region and his sectarian rhetoric is likely to bolster the

Sunni ascendancy, no matter what happens in Syria.

Both men’s words leave little hope for reconciliation between Shia and Sunni, and instead serve as an open invitation forincreased sectarian warfare — now more likely than ever to be the most significant outcome of the recent Arab uprisings.

Why is the sunni-shia conflict worsening ? Simple: because this is the fate of this umma: self-destruction.

Whenever given a bit of freedom / democracy: Killing becomes the name of the game, because they

were taught by their prophet to eliminate the other (in the name of God) who opposes them or believes in

something different. A people whose intention is to eliminate others will eventually eliminate itself: What

goes around comes around. Islam's mission in this world is to eliminate all other beliefs, but also

eliminate the different sects within Islam. Only the devil causes killing, wars, kidnapping, confusion, hate,

discrimination, ignorance, fear, and consequently poverty, sickness, misery and death. Anything holy from

GOD causes instant peace, serenity, healthy mind and body, assurance, tranquility and eventually

knowledge, wealth and abundance. You muslims do not see that ???? Are you still blind ? Mohammad

was not and cannot be a prophet from GOD. He forced himself on a bunch of ignorants in the desert and

formed an army and imposed his "supposed" religion on other tribes and countries, period nothing more.

Until muslims wake up and realize that this man was anything but holy, the killing, the wars and instability

will continue among muslim societies. Just look how islam's prophet lived: His behaviour is the biggest

proof that he cannot be from GOD. And let those who have eyes see and those who have ears hear and

those who can read understand.

I totally disagree with this author....The game of shia sunni has always been and will always be played this

way....these 2 sects will never learn not to be played with....we had the iran iraq war that went for 8 years

to stir this up and now we have the syrian conflict...was this conflict not a fight for democracy? Why has it

been turned into this? How do they summise that this has become sectarian? The hzb has just recently

entered this conflict...why can one side enter it and another not? These 2 sects sects need to realise that

unless they wake up to themselves we are looking at another 8 years at least of conflict.

Yes. I think you're looking at longer than that .... especially if you're looking for a democracy.

Democracy flies in the face of the religion, and the moderation of thought into a modern concept of

government does not sit well with most of the hardliners, no matter which sect. Mix in the political

moves to determine who's going to be Supremely Supreme (the Pope of Muslims? ;-) , and you

can imagine the angst between the sects ... but they generally will 'push the book' first.

A millennia, perhaps?

Unless 'the people' decide they have had enough and simply ignore the 'tops', it goes on.

Syria was never about religion...it was about freedom and expression...now they have

turned it into this....look at turkey their demonstrating because they think erdogan is a

fundamentalist....I dont buy into the msm and the fundamentalist clerics of the gcc that

claim hzb has made it sectarian....they made it sectarian long before the hzb got

involved....I mean think about it..If qusar was a christian,druze or jewish village and it was

bordering the same way would those sects of not helped? The only difference is that hzb

can help militarily...have a look people are started to come back to their homes...i saw an

interview with a lady that said her house was gone but they will pitch a tent until they can

rebuild it.....And lets not be naive to think that christians and druze did not do what they

could to protect their own as well.Further have you noticed how our army has been freed

up now to act in the north? The takfiris route in and out of lebanon has been blocked now.

Yah dateam .. that part is good ... citizens in the underground parking in Tripoli are

waiting for the silence they have not had in years ... the past 3 weeks have been

hell for sure. If the LAF pulls it off it will be the best thing that ever happened to the

long-ignored city. Generally, 'the people' don't want that 'fundamentalist' crap from

ANY religion any more. They want to live. But it needs a common will to do that.

Some have been trying to lead 'peace-parades', but there are still too many who

FEAR to be in THOSE as well ... and they can thank the fundamentalists for that

too. The weekly 'Sermons' still go on.

the problem the middle east has, is that the GCC is allied with NATO and zionism, 'the alliance of filth'.

the problem sunni Muslims have is believing the "mufti's" under the payroll of the GCC, telling them the

enemies of Islam are shias! while praising their own munafiqeen rulers of the GCC.

the "true Muslims" who have control of the GCC and Egypt have now done everything they can to first cut

off Palestine from any kind of meaningful assistance and have proceeded to destroy any Arab country

with significant military capabilities.

the GCC keeps "lowering" the offer for "peace" with zionism with the most recent abandoning the

Palestinian refugees!

the 'wall' constructed around the 'west bank' is not only a prison cell but will soon be the official 'borders'

of the fake Palestinian state that the GCC will sign with "israel".

keep pushing your sectarian agenda, the losers are the people of the middle east, sunni and shia who will

ALL find themselves living in a "new middle east" created by NATO and their masters, zionism.

I take it you never liked Jews .... definitely not the Zionist ones, it seems. And now you don't like

what everyone calls 'the west'. And you don't like the sect named Sunni - because maybe it's not

so sunny - but you can't like the Shiite ones because they just beat heads in.

You must be one of the Christian Palestinians. Disenfranchised by simply ALL of them.

I am a Sunni Muslim and am totally on the side of Shia Muslims. We Muslims must have lost our minds to

join the divisions our enemies have set up for us. The differences between Shia and Sunni Muslims are

totally irrelevant because we have a common enemy. We Sunni Muslims should love Shia Muslims who

are battling against Zionism/America/NATO. Long live Iran and down with the treacherous 'white women'

following oil-sheikhs of Saudi Arabia.

I'm wondering if we miss-read this one a little ... maybe should have written:

'Down with treacherous Oil-Sheiks who follow white women'.

Is that what you meant to say?

Not: 'treacherous 'white women following Sheiks.' ??? Clarity is needed sometimes ...

Although, there's still a shot at women there ... somewhat ... inference that the women allow it.

The sunni extremists are using religion as a political weapon ! they know that the internal ennemy is more

dangerous than the external!And the shia are "the internal ennemy".. one can mobilize the masses easy

when one says that" islam is endangered" by shia kufr..they (salafis)are incapable to accept a divers

islam!The sign that they are politically ripe were the acceptance of the minority!!Not as a danger,but as a

facette of the juwel!I am not convinse that shias think otherwise,I bet rather in the same terms,but taking

account they are fewer.. Qaradawi is speaking nonsense: shia counts between 15-20% of the islamic

world! 220 milions, with 1100 millions sunni! and they are almost equal in numbers with the sunnis in the

heart of the islamic world!
