Jameel Theyabi writes in his Op Ed :” Al-Hayat’ recently reported Sudanese Islamic groups warning against a great scheme orchestrated by Iran; a scheme which is part of the Iranian expansion. This was particularly evident after the Sudanese observed that entire villages had converted to the Shiite, and that Shiite mosques had started to spread in Khartoum, thanks to Iranian cultural efforts.”
It is wrong to blame Iranians for this new development.
Why did Arabs remained unmoved by the atrocities committed by the Arab Sudanese tribes against the Sudanese tribes of African origin (both of them are Muslims)?
Instead they minimized the extent of the crimes perpetrated perpetrated by Arab-dominated government in Sundan.The Arab League raises hue and cry over the UN intervention in Sudanese affairs.
Did they ever try to save the lives of these Muslims of African origin, who were massacred and left homeless!?
They are converting to Shiite version of Islam because of desperation and security reasons. They know Iran will definite interfere.
But the Shiitization campaign ascribed to Iran remains particularly alarming, even if not exaggerated or abused, given the deadly sectarian atmosphere in Iraq and the poisonous sectarian atmosphere in Lebanon.
