I guess same applies to Iran as well why they are supporting Assad but never cared about qaddafi as one was Shia and one was Sunni so Iran is actively supporting Sectarianism as well just like Saudi.
This Al Nimr episode proved the same Iran never raised any voice against such capital punishment in Saudi until one of their Shia was killed so all Iran cares about is Shiaism and Saudi Wahabism .
Both are two sides of the same coin and are damaging Islam equally.
I sometimes feel disappointed of easy to fool Muslims around the world..
Iran supports Hizbullah, Hamas, Jahad al ISlami in which only one is a Shia movement... They all fight Israel... They all defend their occupied land and the right to exist... The whole Islam nation was after claiming the rights of suppressed Palestinian, Lebanese people for decades and after they got defeated over and over a new power rises... Islamic revolution won the power in Iran... Then Iran once the best friend of Israel and West, stands up with Islam Nation defending Palestine cause... Then suddenly all other front-line Arab nations not only withdraw from fighting Israel but also make up with them, becoming their FRIEND!!
Now that Iran helps Sunni Hamas in Palestine, Saudi Arabia (Khadim al harameyn al Sharifeyn!) comes announcing Hamas and Hizbullah as terrorist organisations in exact way as Israel calls them!!
Iran every time anything bad happened in Islam world acted first... Iran was involved in Bosnia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, etc...
Iran never been a Takfiri promoter nation... Iran as she is the mother of all Shia Muslim countries will naturally act first if any Shia Muslim people are under attack... The exact way, Russia have the back of all Russians no matter where they are... Christians support Christians... Jews support Jews...
now, what is the reason behind Iranian involvement in Middle East?
Syria was the only Arab country taking the side of Iran in the longest 20th century war imposed on Iran by globaly supported Saddam regime... Syria then after the war signed a security pact with Iran, making Iran a responsible state in case Syria was attacked.. So, Iran was asked to help Syrian government by legitimate Syrian Government... Beside that after a while, the world including Iran realized that Syria is under attack not by democracy fighters but by Takfiri terrorists from more than 80 countries. As the world (except Saudi and their kind) confesses today, there is nothing more dangerous than Takfiri Wahhabi Terrorists who don't recognize other humans... Now, Iran along side Syrian government, Russian federation, Iraqi government and their related forces are fighting these parasites in order to save the planet...
So, Iran supporting Iraqi and Syrian and Lebanese and Yemenis to liberate their territories occupied by ZOMBIES is the most pure way of contributing to the world peace and stability, saving the whole planet... The world will thank Iran over and over soon...
In Yemen Iran can not send any weaponry or military advisers... The only existing danger in Yemen is the emergence of Takfiri Al qaeda insurgents... These followers of liver-eating sect of Islam!! are openly supported by Saudi and other Persian Gulf states... They most be stopped and this is why USA also attacks them by drones... Now, the only force that can stop these Takfiri terrorists are Houthi fighters... Houthis are the reason why not all Yemen is in hands of Al qaeda now... so the world should thank Iran again...
In Lebanon, Hizbullah is the only group who fights Israel... They are the only Arab entity who could defeat Israel and force them out of occupied lands... Hizbullah is getting stronger day over day and their final goal is to get Palestine back into the arms of their original owners, Palestinians... Now, how come Hizbullah is helping Syrian government? Hizbullah is owing a lot to the Syrian government... They could not become who they are and fight Israelis if there were no Syrian government... In addition, Takfiris are announcing every day that their first goal is to massacre all Shia Muslims, Alavis, Christians... so a Shia Muslim organization and territory in South Lebanon is the first target of Takfiri Salafis if they get the power in Syria... so it is an existantional subject for Shia Lebanese... They can hesitate and wait until a Salafi Takfiri Kalifate is initiated in Syria and then wait for their own death or they can fight them now where ever they are...
Hizbullah fighting Takfiri Wahhabis in Syria is no different from why Western powers are bombing Takfiris in Iraq...
Iran was among the first who supported the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan to overthrow Salafi Taliban who by the way only recognized international as an state by three countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE and Pakistan!!) what a coincidence!!
Now the funny thing is that while Iran has no presence in Yemen, Saudis call Iranians as invading other countries... disrupting peace while it is them who bomb already-starving Yemenis to the bone...
Iran only reacted to Takfiri ISIL invasion of Iraq by sending support... Who helps Takfiris in all around the region? Guess who? Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey and UAE!! What a coincidence...
It is like Saudi bombs Yemen, sends billions of dollars along side tens of thousands of Takfiri terrorists into Iraq and Syria and Yemen and yet Iran with no military presence in Yemen is the one who abrupt PEACE in ME!!! What a jungle and what a funny story!!
All Sunni brothers in all Muslim countries should now that Iran is the only country in Muslim world that stands against Western, Zionist, Takfiri conspiracies... Sunni brothers should now that the most of those who are massacred by Takfiri groups around the region are in fact Sunnis!!
All sunni brothers must ask themselves a question everyday... how come every nation who decides to stand on its own feet, being independent, being against Zionism, being against imperialism becomes a vogue, terrorist, bad state by Media all around the world...
All Sunni brothers should ask themselves every day, why while Israel occupying Islam's holy sites in Palestine, killing millions and deporting millions from their Muslim mother land, forming a siege around a Sunni Muslim nation in Qaza, Turkey as a Muslim nation calls for friendship and alliance with them? Calling Israel a friend of Turkey... Saying Turkey needs Israel!! Why Egypt, Jordan two other Muslim nations who got himulated by Israel and their supporter in many wars decide to choose the submission?
All Sunni brother should ask themselves every day why while Israel and USA calls Hizbullah and Palestinian Hamas as Terrorist organisations suddenly the Saudi (servants of holy sites) regime decides to call Hizbullah and Sunni Hamas as terrorist organizations!?
In a nut shell...
Iran is the one who saves Muslims from terrorists... Takfiris... liver-eaters... Zionism... Neo-Evangelists... and Saudi, Qatar, Turkey are those who serve West, Zionism, Takfiris...
Iran is the one who promote peace and unity among all Muslim nations while Takfiri-supporters are those who bomb Yemenis, feeding ISIS, Al Qaeda, etc in ME...
Wake up and as yourself "would Iran be called a peace maker and a defender of the Muslims, if Iran chooses to sieze their support to poor Palestinians or Lebanese or Syrians or Iraqis who only want their land and freedom"
btw, Syrian government is not a Shia government... Alavis in Syria are not Shia... Research it for more info...
Bosnians were Sunnis... Yemenis are not Shia as Iranian Shias are (Zeidi)... Syrian government is not Shia... Palestinian Hamas and Jahad al Islami are Sunnis...
The only threat to Islam is Takfiri/Wahhabi/Salafi agenda which is promoted by billions of dollars of petrodollars of Saudi Arabia through initiating and funding Madrasas, Islamic centers who brain wash innocent youth converting them into Takfiri Wahhabi Terrorists... The only threat is Saudis and other Persian Gulf states who support and promote Takfiris who order people to slaughter Shia Muslims, Christians and others who oppose Takfiring other people with different religions... Think about it... Even in time of the prophet Muhammad (PBUH) all non-Muslims were allowed to live on planet and even in Muslim lands peacefully... The prophet never ordered Muslims to attack other non-Muslim people by the pretext that they are not like us.. Jihad is only doable when an Islamic land is under attack by non-Musims... but these fool animals called Takfiri Wahhabis go killing Shia Muslims praying in a Mosque while they are praying, saying the same words as others in their Salat...
Both are two sides of the same coin and are damaging Islam equally.
ISIL Takfiri Terrorist who slaughter people in Syria and Iraq and in front of them US troops who bomb them are both two sides of the same coin... It does not matter if one started the chaos and the second is trying to stop them... both are two sides of the same coin... what a logic!!
