Of course. What else could it be? Sunnis and Shia have been killing each other for 1,400 years, but that couldn’t possibly have anything to do with this, right? It’s got to be the Great Satan and the Little Satan.
“ISIS claims responsibility for killing of Shiite imam in Damascus car bombing,” The New Region, May 8, 2026 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – The Islamic State (ISIS) on Thursday claimed responsibility for the killing of Syrian Shiite imam Farhan Hassan al-Mansour in a bombing attack targeting his vehicle in the Damascus countryside last week.
In a statement published in its weekly al-Naba newspaper, the extremist group said its fighters detonated a sticky bomb placed inside Mansour’s car after he left the Sayyida Zeinab area south of the Syrian capital last Friday.
The group described Mansour as “one of the prominent imams of disbelief” and asserted that the blast “led to his death and the destruction of his vehicle.”
Syrian authorities had earlier announced the killing of Mansour, who served as the Friday preacher at the Sayyida Zeinab shrine in Rif Dimashq and was considered a notable figure within Syria’s Shiite community….
Iran’s foreign ministry later “strongly condemned” the attack, calling it an act of terrorism and saying attacks on religious sites and clerics in Syria were part of a “US-Israeli conspiracy to incite strife and division among the countries of the region.”…
ISIS has previously claimed attacks targeting Shiite religious sites and clerics in Syria and neighboring countries.

And what would the USA or Israel gain from such an action? Nothing. This attack and others like it are a result of a schism within Islam. It has to do with The Caliph Ali in 670 – 671. his assassination led to a split. Those who revered Ali became the Shi’a. while those reviling him became the Sunni. Stop blaming others for your violent excesses!

There’s NO difference between Islam & Communism. Both LIE, both Are Evil, Both want Total World Dominance, Both Kill with Impunity, BOTH Accuse their enemy of what THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING.
