Answer by Iranian
Why do Sunnis get offended when I say they support terrorism?
Let’s see. They support Wahhabies and consider them as Muslims (those long-bearded cavemen carrying AK 47s scattered in Saudi Arabia and in one dangerous city in Iraq who go around and blow up Shiite Muslims and fly airplane into buildings)
The only Muslims against terrorism are Shiite Muslims and those Muslims who don’t identify themselves as belonging to a particular sec. What do Sunnis have to say about this?
On the other hand, we see Shiite Muslims (e.g Iranians) holding candle lights for victims of 9/11. I’m sorry, but Shiites and Sunnis are following two different religions and only one of them is Islam, guess which one?
