Probably. The Shia, Sunnis, Wahhabis, and others don’t like each other. They may be united on the need for jihad against the West, but they will fight each other over control of the caliphate and what is the “right” interpretation of Islam.

Blowing himself up just may hide the evidence.

And thank God that that discord militates against their ultimate power.

If they get TOO rampant, they’ll start going at one another’s throats. It’s the Western world with its Christian ideas that is buffering this situation.

Did he blow himself up? or was it done remotely?

Possible motivations:
* Shia, who resent the Sunni controlling Mecca and retrograde Saudi Wahabism being aggressively proselytized to their detriment
* Shia who want to get back at Sunni shrines for the destruction of a major Shia shrine in Iraq destroyed a few years ago
* Sunni fundamentalists, including ISIS, who see the Saudi development around the Kaaba the equivalent of Disney commercializing the Sistine Chapel and have advocated destruction of the Saudi royal family

Intrigue and more intrigue.

I am actually heartened at the news of this discord. As the fever pitch of jihadism heats up, it’s not going to be just the Western world that feels it. In fact, maybe not even chiefly. A magnet will stick to another magnet tighter than it will to a neutral iron surface.

And the love of hate may get so strong that some of the dearest icons of Islam will be destroyed... leaving the Muslim community at large to wonder how sacred they really could have been.
