“Hamas—one day offering condolences for the Rafidi who kills Sunnis, and another day for the Pope—and then they expect victory from God…,” wrote one user on X. The term “Rafidi” is a derogatory label used by hardline Sunnis to refer to Shia Muslims.
In a comment on Hezbollah’s statement, one user wrote on Facebook: “The Party of Satan mourns the leader of the polytheists out of hypocrisy and flattery toward the Crusaders.”
“Praying for mercy for a non-Muslim after their death contradicts many verses of the Holy Quran, which state that the fate of those who disbelieve in Islam is the Hellfire,” wrote one Facebook user in response to the mourning message from Iranian-born Iraqi Shia leader Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.
Similarly, some hardliners mocked Egypt’s Al-Azhar Grand Imam Ahmed al-Tayeb for referring to the pope as a “brother in humanity” in his condolence statement. Radical comments also attacked Pope Francis for his support for same-sex marriages.

What’s this about 4chan imploding?
Abrahamic religions are brain rot.
Islam is trash
Agreed. But so is Christianity.
TBH the difference is surprisingly technical.

My sweet summer child
Not yet anyway, hold America’s beer…

your mom is trash.
Religion will keep us belligerently within its clutches forever, won’t it?
As long as there’s a state…
Is this literally the only thing you know how to type? Jesus dude…
Anatomy of the State right once again.
It’s the whole point of religion, so yes.
All religions are not the same and they come in many flavors.
Some religions in some flavors cause immense suffering though.
Fundamentalist parts of it is the one that causes suffering
