Sunni Terrorists Attack Iranians in Iran:
(Now... WHY are we trying to keep Sunnis and Shiites from fighting each other now again, GZ? Is it just 'cause we lack imagination, or is it that are budget deficits are not hight enough... and we need to pour a couple of hundred *more* Billions down the drain? I can never decide. :-(
But, here, you can see a clear example of the situation: the rulers of the Sunni dominated lands (Saudi Arabia, the Gulf Monarchies, etc.) fear and repress their own Shiite minorities... while the Sunni minorities in Shiite dominated nations such as Iran are ALSO repressed and feared:

Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - In a rare incident of internal terrorism, eleven members of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards unit were killed on Wednesday when militants in eastern Iran detonated a car bomb against a bus that was transporting the victims.
The attack occurred as the bus was ferrying Guard members from their housing units in the town of Zahedan to a nearby military base.
The bus slowed down as it approached a vehicle that appeared to be broken down in the middle of the road, according to the state-controlled IRNA news agency. Four men then fled from the car and detonated a massive bomb hidden inside.
The bus was completely gutted by the explosion.
Thirty-one people were wounded in the attack, which the radical Sunni Muslim group Jundollah claimed credit for, reported Iran's Fars news agency.
An official in the regional governor's office later said that five people had been arrested in connection to the bombing.
Iranian clerics urged the predominantly Shiite population to refrain from retaliatory action against the nation's Sunni minority. |
