Again, the Ba’ath party is 100% secular. Secularism is a cornerstone of their party. It has nothing to do with Sunni and Shi’a here, it has to do with a theocratic regime in a partnership with exactly the opposite.
Heresy is any belief or theory that is strongly at variance with established beliefs or customs, particularly the accepted beliefs or religious law of a religious organization.[1][2] A heretic is a proponent of heresy.[1]
…
Heresy is distinct from apostasy, which is the explicit renunciation of one’s religion, principles, or cause;
Atheism is not heresy. A heretic is a type of believer. You can argue you meant the colloquial usage as “divergent thought”, but that’s not the usage I used.
Either way, the point stands: not all Islam is the same thing, and the Tehran regime quite clearly has an easier time stomaching cooperation with secularists than with Sunnis.

…Yes, the Ba’ath party is 100% secular, and Tehran would rather deal with secularists than with heretics.
Secularists are heretics to theocrats. I have no idea what you think a heretic is.
No, secularists are nonbelievers, possibly apostates. A heretic believes in the same religion as you do, just the wrong kind of it.

I’m aware.
Haha he removed it lmao
Also I don’t think it’s uncivil to point out how you like to argue with people and then remove their comments and ban people
Look at the modlogs
Yeah I saw, what a generous god!
That’s simply false.
There’s a reason why atheists are tarred with the ‘heretic’ label.
On the contrary, from Wikipedia:

oh, rarely really seen somebody contradict themselves so blatantly with their source. how come?
Where is the contradiction? Do you think a belief contrary to religious doctrine has to be religious?
Yes, cause that’s what the dictionary means: belief contrary to the doctrine of the religious system the belief is embedded in.
Like the doctrine that a god exists?
Stop.
Stop what… breathing? I will in four years. And you and all the other people who hate me can get together and throw a big party.
