"We Are Here, O Hussain"

Here.

The American government deplores the Shi’a name — “We Are Here, O Hussain!” — as “unhelpful.” But how is it “unhelpful”? Such a name makes clear that it is Shi’a making war on the Sunnis — the “takfiris” who condemn Shi’a as fake Muslims — of the Islamic State. Isn’t that a good thing? Fortunately, there is no chance the Shi’a will change either the title or, when they finally win back Ramadi– after weeks or months of mopping-up (for quite a maddening while, it will all be over but the mopping-up)– or their desire to kill as many Sunnis in Ramadi as possible.

Don’t deplore. Welcome.
