You thought that Muslim riots protesting infidel rhetoric were only against Danish newspapers?
Recently Iranian Shiites have been taking to the streets protesting the Qatari based satellite network Al-Jazeera. The contraversy erupted following an Al-Jazeera talk show last week in which the presenter, Egyptian Ahmed Mansour, questioned Iraqi religious leader al-Sistani's leadership credentials and whether he authored his own edicts.
The Iranian parliament speaker has banned all Al-Jazeera reporters from entering inside the parliament building until Al-Jazeera offers an official apology regarding their statements towards al-Sistani.
The protesters denouncing Al-Jazeera were chanting violent threats which included, "Today, we burn down Al-Jazeera,"
These incidents in addition to the continuous Sunni insurgency within Iraq are reminders to the outside world of the growing divide plaguing the Muslim world from within.
