"Motive for mosque murder a mystery"
It's only a "mystery" to those who are thoroughly ignorant of Islam. As the authors of this article in the left-leaning Washington Post clearly are.
As soon as you see that it was a SUFI mosque that ISIS attacked, all is clear.
Under the concept of Takfir, Sufis -- actually a sect of mainly Sunni Muslims -- are considered non-Muslims by mainstream Sunni and Shi'a alike, and which together amount to about 98% of Muslims.
Worse: Sufis are considered Apostates. Apostates are the worst of the worst and the crime of apostasy is worse than murder.
So killing them is natural for the likes of the Sunni-based ISIS.
One despairs at the ignorance in the western media, fully 16 years after 9/11.
A related article in Bloomberg states that Muslims are often the first victims of Muslim terrorism. As if that somehow excuses the horrid doctrines of Islam.
But that fact — and it is a fact — is about as relevant as this one: most people killed by Maoism were Chinese. Or most victims of the Nazis were Germans. Both true and both irrelevant to the nastiness of both doctrines.
On the Bloomberg site I said in the comments:
Those murdered at the mosque? they were Sufis. They are considered non-Muslims by Sunni and Shi'a alike. Apostates. The only group Sunnis hate more than westerner infidels are Sufis. Then Shia. Then Jews and Christians. Etc, etc...
The concept of "Takfir" is alive and well. But not mentioned in this ignorant article.
Btw: Islam is a "religion of peace" as much as I am my Labrador Basil.
