I asked him something I had always wondered: Does Jerusalem have any sanctity to Shiites?
He answered that it doesn't; Shiites consider Jerusalem to be a Sunni innovation to Islam and therefore forbidden.

Rhode goes on to describe the incredible animosity between Arab Shiites, Persian Shiites and Sunnis.
