Iran's Ayatollah Khamenei Condemns ISIS Beheading of Christians
TEHRAN — Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei tweeted his outrage at the beheading of 21 Egyptian Coptic Christians by ISIS.

"We don't forget how much Iranian #Christians have taken pains to render services & some of them have martyred in Saddam's war against #Iran," he tweeted in English late Monday.


Iran's leadership regularly takes to social media to make points about politics and society, even though Twitter is outlawed in Iran.

In a flurry of messages, Khamenei advised Muslims to help Christians in need while extolling what he said was the Islamic Republic of Iran's equal treatment of people of different faiths. ISIS is intent on imposing its radical version of Sunni Islamic law, which puts it in conflict with majority Shiite Muslim Iran."

Riiight. Because he's a piece of shiite and ISIS is Sunni. Otherwise, Hezbollah is the ISIS of Shi'ites.

Remember, it's one barbaric Islamic supremacist ideology jostling with another as to who gets to wear the crown of radical Islam.
