Why The Terrorists Are Winning in Iraq—And How That Could Cost Them Everything

ISIS is fanatically anti-Shi’a - they regard Shi’a Muslims as takfir.

I imagine that Iran is currently calculating what it can do in regard to an ISIS takeover. If, God forbid, ISIS actually takes Baghdad and precipitates the collapse of the central Iraqi government and begins massacring Iraqi Shi’ites, I can’t imagine Iran is going to stand by and do nothing.
