ISIS — the Islamic State — is opposed not only to non-Muslims (Christians, Jews, Hindus, Buddhists), but also to those who profess a brand of Islam that ISIS deems illegitimate. For the fanatical Sunnis of ISIS, this means the Shi’a, whom many Sunnis, even those outside ISIS, regard as Infidels (kuffar).
These Sunnis describe Shi’a as “Rafidite dogs.” “Rafidi” means “rejectors”, and here the “rejectors” referred to are the Shi’a, who “rejected” the caliphates of Abu Bakr and Umar. Some Sunni groups, especially those whom Salafi or Wahhabi interpretations influence, and who rely on scholars such as Ibn Taymiyyah, view Shia doctrines — such as the accusation that the Quran is incomplete, reverence for Imams, and cursing of the Companions (Sahaba) — as “vile and evil” acts of apostasy or polytheism.
The Sunni hatred of the Shi’a has led to wholesale killings of Shi’a believers. In Pakistan, for example, there is a Sunni group, Sipah-e-Sahaba, that attacks Shia mosques and madrasas, and kills Shi’a individuals. According to Stanford University’s “Mapping Militant Organizations,” as of February 2012, the “primary methods” of Sipah-e-Sahaba were targeted killings of prominent Shi’as – including political activists, doctors, businessmen, engineers, and intellectuals. The Shi’a have sometimes fought back, and assassinated some of the Sipah-e-Sahaba leaders, including Haq Nawaz Jhangvi in 1990, Isar ul-Qasmi in 1991, Zia ul-Rehman Farooqi in 1997, and Azam Tariq in 2003.
In Afghanistan, the Sunni fanatics of the Taliban have killed the Shi’a, bombing their mosques, killing them at checkpoints, and randomly selecting Shi’a for execution whenever the spirit moves them. The Taliban have repeatedly carried out massacres of the Hazara, an ethnic minority whose members are Shi’a. The Shia have been subject to at least ten mass killings. The worst of those massacres was carried out in August 1998 at Mazar-e Sharif, where the Taliban massacred an estimated 8,000 Hazara civilians. Many thousands more Shi’a Hazara died between 2002 and 2022, with both the Taliban and ISIS targeting unarmed civilians in mosques and schools. In addition, the Taliban have been systematically forcing Hazaras off their land and homes.

The ISIS killing of an important Shi’a cleric in Damascus on May 1 is just the latest example of Sunnis killing Shi’a religious figures, as they have done in the past in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Robert Spencer wrote about this briefly here, and more on the cleric’s assassination can be found here: “ISIS claims responsibility for killing of Shiite imam in Damascus car bombing,” The New Region, May 8, 2026: Continue reading For ISIS (Sunni Muslims) Shi’a are “Rafidite dogs.”
The jihad is permanent & relentless. All Muslims must participate, those who don’t are renegades, ‘hypocrites’, worse than infidels, and must be killed.
A post from the IDF: IDF units and an IDF drone have successfully killed 400 armed terrorists from the murderous terror organization Hezbollah, including in their central headquarters, and seized 1,000 of their weapons over the past 2 months. (13.05.2026)
The IDF has confirmed the elimination of Anas Muhammad Ibrahim Hamed, identified as a Nukhba commander involved in the October 7 massacre at the Nova music festival.
According to Israeli reports, Hamed was part of Hamas’s elite “Nukhba” unit, the same force that led the brutal cross-border assault targeting civilians that day.
He was reportedly killed in a precise strike in central Gaza after being tracked by Israeli intelligence and assessed as an ongoing threat to troops operating in the area.
For context, the Nova festival attack saw militants storm the site, opening fire on fleeing civilians and abducting hostages in one of the deadliest incidents of October 7.
Israel has repeatedly stated it is systematically targeting individuals directly involved in those attacks. This strike appears to be part of that ongoing effort.
Palestinian Islamic Jihad has published a list of 15 commanders killed in the war. Interestingly , you can find their names listed as medics and other civilians on various sites that claim “genocide”
His official statement after the attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield: “Violence is a cycle. Ayman Ghazali lost family, including two children, in an airstrike in Lebanon last week. They were innocent people.” Except the brothers that Ghazali lost were Hezbollah.
For decades, Iran’s leadership has opposed the direction much of the Gulf has taken politically, economically and diplomatically. Today, that opposition is increasingly being expressed through direct attacks on the states’ infrastructure and way of life. Since Feb. 28, the Iranian regime has launched 549 ballistic missiles, 29 cruise missiles and 2,260 drones at the UAE.
The Iranian regime presents its model as the only legitimate form of Islamic governance. Yet, Gulf states have demonstrated that economic growth, global engagement, and religious life can develop together without the same degree of state control.

Netanyahu made a “secret visit” to the UAE during the war.
Iran targeted the UAE more than any other country during the war.
Despite a ceasefire that came into effect last month, the UAE has since reported multiple missile and drone attacks from Iran.
Brigadier-General Mohammad Akrami Nia says Iran’s military is maintaining “the highest level of readiness” and “there is no room for retreat” as the ceasefire with the US hangs in the balance.

Trump says Iran’s response to US plan to end war ‘totally unacceptable’
United States President Donald Trump says Iran’s response to a US proposal to end the US-Israel war on Iran is “totally unacceptable”.
Trump’s comments came after Iranian media reported that Tehran sent its response to the US proposal to mediator Pakistan.
“I don’t like their letter. It’s inappropriate,” Trump told Axios. He would not share details of what he disliked about the text.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says any attack on Iranian oil tankers and commercial ships will be met with assaults on US bases and “enemy ships” in the Middle East.
US demanded Hormuz opening, enriched uranium during Islamabad talks: Iranian official
Mahmoud Nabavian, member of Iran’s negotiating team, says the US had two main demands during the Islamabad talks: Complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz and the withdrawal of all 60 percent enriched material from Iran.
In comments shared by ISNA news outlet, Nabavian is quoted as saying:
Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf said that although the US had the ability to strike Iran’s infrastructure, Iran could also “raze all the infrastructure in the region to the ground in less than half a day”
The US said $6 billion in frozen assets be released if Iran cooperated with the demands
After contacting Trump, Vance suggested negotiations continue based on the plan presented by the US and Ghalibaf had agreed
However, Vance suddenly announced that Trump would not accept the agreement.
“The United States objects to the Global Compact on Migration and U.N. efforts to facilitate replacement migration to the United States and our Western allies,” said a May 11 tweet from the Department of State, adding:
.
For the citizens of Western nations, mass migration was never safe. It introduced new security threats, imposed financial strains, and undermined the cohesion of our societies… Under President Trump, the State Department will facilitate remigration — not replacement migration.
The rejection of mass migration is a big shift from President Joe Biden’s term, when his deputies carefully and covertly worked with the U.N. Together, they moved almost 10 million culturally distant migrants into Americans’ neighborhoods, workplaces, aid programs, schools, hospitals, jails, and politics.
Biden’s elite-backed displacement migration killed many migrants and many Americans, flatlined the economy, and prompted Americans to elect Trump on a mandate to deport millions of migrants from their nation and society.

Hezbollah chief says giving up weapons not part of Israel talks
Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem says the Lebanese group’s weapons arsenal isn’t part of the negotiations with Israel and is an internal matter for Lebanon.
“We will not abandon the field. We will turn it into hell for Israel,” Qassem said in a speech.
BREAKING: The IDF officially confirms that, in the past 30 days, more than 220 Hezbollah terrorists and commanders were successfully eliminated in southern Lebanon by Israel.
Trump has hit out against media coverage of the US-Israeli war on Iran, saying that reports that Tehran is “doing well” militarily against Washington amount to “virtual TREASON”.
“They are aiding and abetting the enemy! All it does is give Iran false hope when none should exist. These are American cowards that are rooting against our Country,” the US president wrote on Truth Social, without specifying which media reports he was referring to exactly.
“Only Losers, Ingrates, and Fools are able to make a case against America!” he added.
Trump and other senior members of his administration have lambasted US media outlets for critical coverage of the war.
Citing unnamed officials familiar with the matter, CNN reported this week that Trump “personally pushed” the US Department of Justice to issue subpoenas to reporters covering the war in a push to identify their sources.
