I don’t know. The war between sunnis and shia has been ongoing ever since Mohammad died, that’s some 1400 years. During that time they never united as such even among a common enemy. But, in more modern times, I do believe if the west stopped supporting Islam, for whatever reasons, we wouldn’t increasingly face a dire Islamic threat on a global level, which this is.
among = against a common enemy..
...”The war between sunnis and shia has been ongoing ever since Mohammad died”....
Well from the Muslim ‘Leadership’ perspective try and look at it like Republican and Democrat Parties attempting to run our nation since the parties began. Many of their political leaders give lip service to Islam enough to keep the public on course..(and supporting them)...but their real motives are in the political power and wealth those positions will afford them, and their impact on the International Stage.
Islam unites the people sorta like Patriotism unites us....they just call it a religion when in fact it’s an ideology, but it does “control” the masses. Freedom is not something most Muslims could handle in the ME....so keeping them in a Islamic Religious state of mind controls them....otherwise they’d all be killing each other.
We’re supporting what ever will continue the push for the European Expansion and One World Governance...regardless which terrorists or not we support...it’s the end game they’re looking at.
The Islamic Global threat will increase as our nation weakens more and more....because we can’t afford to fight in all places...and Europe must rise to greater impact in that region since they are there...we’re clear over here.
Note:.....take a look at the US Embassy in Baghdad.....that monsterous thing wasn’t built for nothing!
