The ayatollahs adopted the Muslim Brotherhood’s worldview to make the destruction of the Jewish state the regime’s holy cause. The Shia leadership in Najaf now has the chance to return the Shia world
Hi Hussain, I always thought the ascension was from Temple Mount in both Sunni and Shia but in your article you state that in Shia it's from Kufa. I can't find anything to back it up.
Would you have your sources on the fact that Shia's don't have the same view as Sunni's on Prophet Muhammad's nightly journey?
"The identification of the Quranic Al Aqsa Mosque with the mosque on the Temple Mount has been the centerpiece of the claim that Jerusalem is holy to Muslims. If Al Aqsa is absent from Jerusalem, then Jerusalem is absent from the Quran and Islam loses leverage in its competition against Christianity and Judaism. Islam is better off claiming that Muhammad flew to Jerusalem on a magic horse, and the same world that wouldn’t dream of questioning the idea of a flying horse will certainly not insist that the Quranic Al Aqsa was more likely in Saudi Arabia than in a city that Muslims had not yet conquered."
They should all go back to being Jew. Easier to keep track than all this Sunni-Shia stuff.
Also, same food but Jews get more more holidays.
Did the Iraqi imams denounce the October 7 attack?
