ISIS attacks Iran…
Am I sorry ISIS has attacked the Iranian parliament? Not one bit. Am I surprised? Not in the least. The jihadis wish to bring about the return of the 12th Imam or al Mahdi. That’s why you hear some people speaking of the effort to immanentize the eschaton. Radical Islamists will generally admit only that they seek to bring about the final, heaven-like stage of history, without mentioning that in this perfect world, their ideology will reign supreme and you hideous infidels will be either dead or enslaved.
Therefore, causing chaos everywhere is part of the means of achieving their goal. They don’t care that they might start World War III with nukes and such, because everyone is going to die anyway and only the truly righteous will be brought back.
UPDATE: Iran claims the Saudis are to blame and vows retaliation.
