The clash of civilisations was a mere notion, a theory that was open for debate and academic discussions. The clash of Islamic sects, on the other hand, is more than a clash of words; it is a real clash and not a theoretical one, which can be dismissed easily. ... The enemy within has become more lethal, violent and devastating than all external foes put together. The Islamic sectarian clashes take many forms, but the most lethal is the growing and bloody sectarian violence in Iraq. The US occupation from one side and the detested Iranian expansion from the other side feed the Islamic sectarian clashes in Iraq. They provide fuel to the conflict and work together on its continuation.
Having lived near a shia masjid for a few years, once they had a big rally and a friend of ours heard one of the speakers calling for the destruction of the infidels; we couldn't work out whether they meant us or the sunnis... or how literally the word 'destroy' was to be taken.
