Nothing new

Muslims fighting sectarian fights against each other is as old news as they engaging in Jihad against the infidels. Both these wars are fallout from the same critical flaws of Islam i.e Mohammed's refusal to accept peaceful co-existence with other faiths and his insistence as being the last messenger. The latter flaw has a critical role in Islam's rejection of progress.

So in essence, the soon to happen civil war is nobody's fault other than the muslims alone. I commend Dr. Pipes courage in admitting that this war would do well to turn Islam's fury against itself and give the world a breather from it 'message of peace'

Both Al Qaeda and the Iranian (Shite) supporters would be heavily weakened by this war of attrition.
