Even centuries ago the Muslim world didn't agree over succession. Thus the Suni/Shia split, which still encourages so-called "Muslims" to murder each other today in Iraq and elsewhere. But, since you know you're "right", I suppose your solution to dissent is to convince or, only if necessary, murder those who are "wrong"?" Show less«

Show more» "Shia/Sunni are differing schools of thought in Islam, there is nothing inherent in the teachings of either school encouraging Muslims to kill those from other schools of thought – quite the contrary – this is expressly forbidden. The current invasion of Iraq and division of regions along sectarian lines by the occupying forces has engendered mass violence including Shia/Sunni, but most of the attacks are against the coalition occupying forces and there is also significant Shia upon Shia violence. This was never historically the case, either in the past century or during the centuries of the Caliphate. There will always be political and theological differences in any state. This violence, which we witness today ,was brought on by occupation and is exacerbated by plans to divide the country. " Show less«

Show more» "We are not happy to see any peoples mistreated in the Muslim world and do not accept it at all. This is a major reason to campaign for the justice of Islam to return to these lands which are suffering under the yoke of secular dictatorships. We believe that the Caliphate has the necessary checks and balances to ensure just leadership and fair treatment of all citizens regardless of belief. At the time of the Spanish inquisition Jews fled Spain and settled in the Caliphate and prospered. The fact that many old Churches still exist today in the Middle East and the Balkans for example, is testament to the fact that the right to follow another belief and worship in their places of worship was protected in the Caliphate. It is the absence of Islam not the existence of Islam that is causing the problems you raise " Show less«

Show more» "Thankyou for your answers, Mr. Harwood. While I agree with you that the disastrous and immoral invasion of Iraq has sadly exacerbated the mistrust between many Sunnis and Shias (and Christians), I believe it was largely a simmering problem which would have inevitably boiled over, sooner or later, anyway. You rightly mention the growing Shia infighting. But let us not forget the growing Sunni infighting, which stems from the difference between those Sunnis who wish to try and stabalize their ravaged country (eg. recently murdered Sheik Abdul-Sattar Abu Risha) and the blood-thirsty madmen who support Al Quaida and its intolerance to anyone who isn't Sunni and supports them."
