[Insha Allah] 130 Killed In Yemeni Wedding Airstrike

Mr. "facts and evidence" can you describe what this has to do with religion?

 

It's Sunnis vs. Shiites (Islam vs. Islam). Saudis vs. Iran in a proxy war, carried out in Yemen.

 

This is a political struggle; "Arabs" vs "Iranis" as you mentioned. If you want to take the stance that political Islam is causing this (as you do) that's understandable.

And I definitely agree with that. I also think given the history of that province, this would be happening regardless. As far as I see it both of those things are true. Of course, immediately, the discussion at hand that might be equally relevant is how things like this (or Russia's offensives against Ukraine, etc...) by "well off" nations are allowed to go unopposed in this day and age.

Anyways, I highly doubt the op's intention was to present anything of substance. Rather, he just wanted to make a sarcastic little remark (aligned with his own dislike of Islam) that hardly made sense given the context and scope of the event being discussed.

 

You should check out how many innocent people we have killed with drone strikes and ****ty intelligence.

 

Incredibly misleading title.

Stupid right winger gonna stupid I guess.

 

What the **** does it have to do with "god willing?"

Inshallah, we won't arm the Taliban again, go into more countries like Iraq illegally creating civil wars, arm more groups like ISIS, and so on and so on.

 

Isn't the motivation of the Saudi and Irani government, respectively, at least partly driven by differing religious views (Sunnis vs. Shiites)? Or would you say that the real root cause of their conflict is more motivated by power and material considerations? Or a mix of all of that?

 

I'm sure it's driven by money, power more than anything but yeah some of it has to do with Wahabi's hating Shias and vice-versa. Tbh, I haven't been following the conflict in Yemen much. There's so much crap going on and it's getting harder to keep up these days.

You usually don't spend a lot of money over differing religious views. That just seems like "bad business" to me.

 

What an a-hole thread.

 

You're desperate now and its showing.

 

Happens all the time dude. ALL THE TIME. Not unique to Muslim countries. Russia, China, and even the U.S.

 

They died as they lived -- martyrs.

 

I confess to laughing at this.

 

Nah, you're just an ignorant ass. These things are nothing new, at all. Scahill reported on al-Majalah years ago. The US killed 40 civilians and tried to cover it up by imprisoning a reporter. Welcome to reality.
