The anti-Zionist Satmar believe the
Zionist State is premature, because the Mashiach for whom they have
been waiting has not yet arrived. The Shi’ites believe that a Caliphate
would be premature, because al-Mahdi for whom they have been waiting has
not yet arrived. They also oppose the Zionist regime.
The anti-Zionist Satmar believe the Zionist State is usurpative of God’s authority, because Statist Jewish governance is administered by men, and not by God; but rather they support governance of Jews administered by panels of Rabbis, who have special religious authority.
The Shi’ites believe that a Caliphate would be usurpative of God’s authority, because Allah has not yet sent the prophet who would govern the Muslims; but rather they support governance of Muslims administered by the Imams, who have special religious authority.
Is it so unreasonable to conjecture that both religions could co-exist, and simply wait for their [savior / prophet] to arrive before jumping to conclusions about whether the other should be destroyed?
Is it unreasonable to say that the world would be safer - at least temporarily - if all Jews became anti-Zionist Satmar and all Muslims became mainstream Shi'ites?
