Assalamu alaikum,

I’ve found the situation after the Iran-Israel conflict to be much worse than I could imagine, especially on social media in my country, Indonesia.


This YouTube channel one of the example:


The hate speech towards Shia Muslims is worsening, usually fueled by Wahhabi clerics and Turkey sympathizers.

They even label Shias as “kafir” and claim that anyone who dies in the war, whether Iranian or Israeli, will meet the same fate in hell.

I can understand if they criticize the Iranian authoritarian government, but I still can’t comprehend the hatred towards Shia people just because they belong to a different sect.

It raises questions in my mind: why They’re dehumanizing their brothers in Islam?
