The Russians are right about Syria

[rangecontraction]

I have concluded that the Russians are right about Syria.

The worst kind of Muslims are called Sunni Muslims. For example ISIS and Al-Quaeda are Sunni Muslims. Bin Laden was too as were the murderers Saddam and Gaddafi.

The Russians are turning the Sunnis in Syria into finely minced fertilizer!! THIS IS GOOD.

Also, the Iranians, who are SHIA Muslims (the good ones) are also in Syria killing the terrorists.

We should let the Russians get on with it and finish off the Sunni terrorists.

God bless USA.

Why would we want to interfere when one group of muslims is killing another?

Generally the sunnis are considered more moderate and the shias the crazy ones. ISIS is showing us that none of them can be trusted.

I'm sure Putin can handle this situation without our meddling.

Actually the Sunnis are the problem.

Tell me again how Shi`ite Muslims flew planes into the twin towers.

You guys obviously know nothing about islam. I didn't say sunnis were not dangerous.

You said the Sunnis were more moderate. Actually, they aren't. Saudi Arabia(a Sunni country) is considerably worst than Iran(a Shiite) country on all sorts of human rights abuses and screwed up Sharia law crap. It is not even close. Al Queda, ISIS and all these factions are also Sunni. Hezbollah is a Shiite faction but from what I have seen, they mainly operate in Lebanon. There are plenty of bad guys on both sides, but Sunnis are not more moderate.

Putin is a gangster..now what would you expect from a gangster? altruistic action?? that's not how gangsters operate.. if he does the job himself there will be a price to pay later..

I was commenting on their interpretation of islam itself, not their proclivity for terrorism. It is a mystery to us, but among muslims the doctrinal differences are enough to kill over. I think it is generally accepted that the shia strain is much more extreme and old school than the sunnis. I also disagree that Saudi Arabia is worse on human rights than Iran. There is more publicity about what happens in Saudi Arabia, as it is far more open than Iran. I grant you that we are talking about the difference between awful and even worse.
