The Sunni doctrine of "muruna" takes "taqiyya" a step further

There are two forms of lying to non-believers that are permitted under certain circumstances, taqiyya and kitman. These circumstances are typically those that advance the cause Islam - in some cases by gaining the trust of non-believers in order to draw out their vulnerability and defeat them.

PJ MEDIA:

Muruna is even more dangerous than individual Taqiyya, because it utilizes Professed "Muslims" who are ignorant or in denial as to what Islam teaches. These Professed "Muslims" adopt many of the ways of the West. and are not actually practicing Islam.

Muruna, basically ignores their violation of Islamic Law, because until Islam becomes dominate, these professed "Muslims" who are "Munafiqun" (luke-warm Muslims) serve the purpose of being a Red Herring by deceiving the Kuffar into believing that a "Moderate Islam" actually exists.

Why would Iran authorize a major terrorist operation on American soil? Skeptics say the much-discussed “foiled” Iranian plot makes no sense. We will know soon enough if the Feds have sufficient evidence related to this specific plot. But Iranian leaders may, in fact, have a motive to accelerate direct attacks on the U.S.: Shia Islamic eschatology, or "End Times" theology.

Know thine enemy

I grew up hearing about the infamous "Hatfield-McCoy" feud. It's absolutely legendary and has become the stuff of legends and myth:

The Hatfield-McCoy feud (1878–1891) is an account of American lore that has become a metaphor for bitterly feuding rival parties in general. It has been described as an Appalachian Capulet-Montague rivalry [[1]] involving two warring families of the West Virginia-Kentucky backcountry along the Tug Fork River, off the Big Sandy River. However, unlike the fictional Romeo and Juliet, the Hatfields and McCoys were violently real.

And so it goes in the middle east--"violently real":

The critical struggle between Shia and Sunni for the future of the Middle East.

To most Western eyes, all Islamic movements look alike, and the central conflict in the Middle East is one between religion and secularism. Shockingly little has been written about the bitter divide between Shia and Sunni. Yet without understanding their ancient conflict—and its modern embodiment in the power struggle between Iran and Saudi Arabia for political and spiritual leadership of the Muslim world—it is impossible to comprehend events across the so-called Shia Crescent, from East Africa through Iraq and Pakistan to India.

The provocative rise of the Ayatollah Khomeini, the Saudi pressure on the United States not to unseat Saddam Hussein in 1991, the critical role of the Ayatollah Sistani and the religious establishment in Najaf (Iraq), the volatility of Pakistan today, and the consequences of the shift toward Shia power through American intervention—all this and more is explained in the light of the Shia/Sunni divide.
