There is no denying the battle in Iraq at least is between Saudis and Iranians. Approx. 85% of the muslim world is Sunni (included in that Salafis & Wahabis). The rest are Shia & its offshoots. Iranian regime after 35 yrs has failed to successfully export its version of an Islamic state to the world. IS has taken territory in a matter of months. Is it feasible to play Iranians & co against Saudis & co when it isn’t nearly an even match?

Like most conflicts, wars and uprisings, they all end up with ‘layers of interested parties’ operating in the theater, and all with their own ideas of what they want the outcome to be and look like.......Couple this with 'individual' ambitions at all levels of leaderships within the parties involved and you can see why things are never what they seem to be and the theater is so "fluid".

One thing is 'with certainty'... the Muslim Nations have never deviated from their mutual desire of seeing the Caliphate arise.....which will, despite their differences, unite them eventually against what they see as a common enemy to Islam.
