But isn't ISIS Sunni? :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Charles Martel (United States), Mar 5, 2015 at 22:04

If, as you note, the Iranian-led Shiite Islamists are the ones to fear most, then what are we to make of the predominantly Sunni driven horror show, ISIS?

As far as I can see, the Shi'a and Sunni branches of Islam are simply two heads of the same venomous serpent.
