I asked him something I had always wondered: Does Jerusalem have any sanctity to Shiites?
He answered that it doesn't; Shiites consider Jerusalem to be a Sunni innovation to Islam and therefore forbidden.
However, Ayatollah Khomeini, a smart politician, chose to use Jerusalem as a rallying cry to attract Sunnis to Shiism. Hence, the annual Al Quds Day.
Rhode goes on to describe the incredible animosity between Arab Shiites, Persian Shiites and Sunnis.
We have lots of ideas, but we need more resources to be even more effective. Please donate today to help get the message out and to help defend Israel.
