I hate Islam with an enormous passion. But out of the two main sects it's clear that Sunni Islam is much worse. Shia Muslims appear to be more moderate but is it just taqiyya? If the amount of Sunni Muslims were to decrease dramatically would Shias increase violent terrorist activities in Western societies?
In Iran, they celebrate Death to America days and many Shia Muslims are against things that are generally accepted in Western societies.
The "Death to America" thing you hear is mostly a phrase lost in translation. It is a very common phrase in Iran. Like if you go to a bakery and you buy a pastry that turns out to be shit, an Iranian might say "Death to pastry". It does not mean he wants to blow up the bakery.

They are casuals compared to the sunni's.

Shias are the NS of Islam. Sunnis are the Marxist Internationals.
I know they commit less terrorism but do you think it's because it plays to their advantage? Think about it. They're outnumbered by Sunnis by millions. If Sunnis were to vanish would Shias lead the way to more anti-Western and anti-Christian sentiment?
Joseph Cruz
Islamic philosophy and poetry is still alive in the Shi'ite world sunnis are savages
Carter Miller
Is this because they're partially Persian? Well, at least in Iran.

>What's your opinion on Shia Islam Sup Forums all sandniggers are enemies of the west
Jaxson Barnes
>anti-Christian sentiment I find that hard to believe considering the hizballs have a Christian brigade.
Which is another reason they are casuals that insult the true faithful muzzies.
Jonathan Brown
It seems interesting.
Both Shia and less dogmatic interpretation of Islam like Sufism or Quranism seem like they have their shit together compared to Sunni

Meanwhile they stay in Iran i don't give a fuck about them.

The government of Iran openly said last year that when they say death to America it's their way of saying "death to American foreign policy in the region" i.e. like helping Israel and the Saudis etc
Islam should stay in the Middle East and it does not belong in the West but Shia countries left to their own devices tend to just mind their own business or just do stuff in the middle east, they don't try to harm western countries and they hate Al-Qaeda and similar groups even more than the west does.
There is nothing wrong with having an unfavorable opinion about Islam as a whole but "nuke the whole region, kill all muslims" is a retarded and childish view that's completely unrealistic anyway. Anyone who isn't Jewish or Sunni who studies the subject enough realizes that the Saudis and Wahhabism are the real threat and that if the Saudis were overthrown and the Shia run the middle east then the west would be a lot safer.

I stand with Israel. Sup Forums stands with Israel. Donald Trump stands with Israel.
US law supports Israel. UK law supports Israel. Russian law supports Israel.

Shias are the ones fighting to keep Christians and other religious minorities from being killed in Syria right now.
If Shias became the majority than sure there might be some who became more opposed to non-muslims but in general the Shia have a deep tradition of being a persecuted religious minority and so they are more aware of that stuff and know how others might feel if Shia treated them poorly.

Is it possible it could be taqiyya? All across Europe and America are supposedly "moderate Muslims" that are against terrorism and Islamic law and they're lying their asses off. They want nothing but the destruction of the West and Christianity. Is it a real possibility that Shia Muslims are lying to further their sect of Islam?
>The government of Iran openly said last year that when they say death to America it's their way of saying "death to American foreign policy in the region" i.e. like helping Israel and the Saudis etc And you just expect me to trust that because they said so? They wanted to murder the West-friendly Shah and then the following leader first promised there would be no Islamic law and that turned out to be a massive lie.
>Islam should stay in the Middle East and it does not belong in the West but Shia countries left to their own devices tend to just mind their own business or just do stuff in the middle east, they don't try to harm western countries and they hate Al-Qaeda and similar groups even more than the west does. As I've said before they could be playing their cards intelligently. As of right now, they're a minority in the Muslim world. They hate those terrorist organization because they're Sunni, not because they're terrorist.
>Islam should stay in the Middle East and it does not belong in the West but Shia countries left to their own devices tend to just mind their own business or just do stuff in the middle east, they don't try to harm western countries and they hate Al-Qaeda and similar groups even more than the west does. I never said nuke the whole region nor did I advocate genocide you retard. I despise the Saudis and I said in the OP that Sunnies are worse. Are you retarded?

Because he had tens of thousands of people tortured and was brutal as fuck. There were many secular and pro-democracy people in the revolution and it was only in the chaos afterwards that the Islamists seized control
>I never said nuke the whole region nor did I advocate genocide you retard. I despise the Saudis and I said in the OP that Sunnies are worse. Are you retarded?
I wasn't trying to imply that you were someone who had those views but I wrote that because it's a common view on Sup Forums especially in these sorts of threads so I wanted people who might have been about to post that to read my post and think first.

I have felt extremely negative towards Islam myself at times, but I've also found that hate is bad for me both physically and psychologically.
The only real reason why I've ever felt like that, is because a very strong image has been created, of the idea that Muslims want to destroy literally everything that they don't see as being part of their own culture. Some of them seem very similar to the Daleks from Dr. Who in that respect.
I know not all Muslims are like this, but there seem to be a lot who are, to the point where it is hard to tell who is and who is not.

>Because he had tens of thousands of people tortured and was brutal as fuck Still the best choice. Same goes with Assad right now. >There were many secular and pro-democracy people in the revolution and it was only in the chaos afterwards that the Islamists seized control Proof? Never heard of this.
Taqiyya. They'll lie to further Islam. Be weary of them.
