It's becoming obvious that the millenia long strife between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims is well on its way to a full on conflagaration. From Baghdad to Beirut, from Riyadh to Cairo the battle for hegemony over the Muslim world is unfolding in extreme ferocity. Yet given radical Islam's war against the West, the war between the two branches of Islam often falls under the radar. We'll be tagging posts that highlight this conflict as Su-Shi Watch from now on, and urge you to do so as well so that we can all get a clearer picture of the shifting balance of power in the Muslim world and how perhaps it can eventually be used to the advantage of the Free World.
Here's a start:
Egyptian columnist: "We must be more wary of the Shi'ites than of the Jews because the matter of the Jews is well known, and their deceitful deeds are known from the Koran and the Sunna, as well as from modern history... But as for the Shi'a, it may influence people through lies and deceit, under the pretense of protecting Ahl Al-Bayt - because most Egyptians have a particular affection for Ahl Al-Bayt, and this makes it easy to influence them and thus introduce Shi'ism into Egyptian homes."
And in the same MEMRI article: Sheikh Yousef Al-Qaradhawi one of the most influencial Sunni clerics: "Shi'ite infiltration of Egypt will ignite a blaze that will destroy everything in its path."
