File under: Hezbollah

#1 Strange bedfellows. While a Salafist government in Yemen is slaughtering shiites, while a Salafist terrorist organization is slaughtering Shiites in Iraq, while Salafists slaughter Shiites in Pakistan ... the Shiite Hezbollah is going to support a Salafist organization in Tripoli?

I dunno. Salafists see Shiites as evil incarnate. I don't see why they would even accept such help.

#2 The big Sunni-Shiite final conflagration is supposed to happen at the End of Days.

But...get this: according to the witless prophecy, a 70,000 man Jewish army is supposed to rise in what is now Iran, only to be faced with a larger army from what is Afghanistan, which will massacre the Jews and Shiites and move on towards Jerusalem, where they confront the anti-christ (Dajjal). According to the shiites, the "hidden imam" will arise to lead the army. But...where do they find 70,000 Jews in Central Asia?

Prophecies should be written on tidal sand bars.

Look for what advances each side's goals.
