No Shiite Sherlock! That’s what the Saudis say. BTW to say only 10% of Muslims are Shiite is the wrong perspective. The real question is how many Shiites are in the Middle East? That number is 35-40%. With Middle East defined as stretching from Iran to Egypt

The current Iranian goal is to have the Middle East under their control. To be so defiant of the West (the infidels) and so militarily powerful that you will see mass conversions from Sunni to Shiite in the ME. Sunni Muslims going with the “strong horse” as Osama Bin Ladin would put it

err.. yeah, that's what I said Among the Sunnis (80% of the worlds Moslems -- but that is because of their domination in Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia and India which together comprise 700 odd million Moslems (70% of all Moslems in the world) there are numerous schools: hanafi etc. -- the Sufis mixed mysticism with Islam and are hated by Wahabbis. Wahabbis and the Deoband school of Islam are detested by other Sunnis.

yes, you're right that 30-40% of the ME is Shiite (Pakiland is not ME no matter how much they pretend to be)

Bluntly, I think Shia would be easier to handle than Sunnis -- it's a case of the lesser evil.
