Reply to comment by docmcstuffins89 in Iranian Sunni Clerics Release Video Urging End To Deadly Crackdown On Protesters by DegnarOskold

This is a fact. Whenever anyone in the West thinks of "Sharia law" of beheadings and lashes for the smallest of grievances, they think of the Wahhabi mindset, it's as backward as it comes. Wahhabism can't even be considered a school under Sunni, it has effectively become another sect of Islam at this point, that's how divergent it is.

They're like the Islamic version of the westboro baptists and other southern evangelicals on steroids. Same brand of religious bigotry, just a different book waving in your face.

And here I was thinking of Southern Baptists. It's worth looking up what separated them from other Baptist traditions. (Hint: it was slavery.)

Yeah, the southern evangelicals are the worst of that subgroup; mostly baptist as is that westboro bunch, but there are others they band together with in tribal solidarity and hate.
