How Conflicts within Islam will Shape the Future
According to this book, Shia Muslims, the second largest sect of Islam, are gathering strength and cementing cross-border ties with fellow Shia following the fall of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The author believes that the changing trend of unification and collaboration could potentially lead to a new map of the Middle East. Started during the Iranian Islamic Revolution under Ayatollah Khomeini, the neo-Shea movement has mandated to fend off Sunni dominance, warranting socio-political changes across the Islamic world.
My 2 cents, “if the conflict is within Islam, wouldn’t it then open the doors for non-Muslims to walk in and take charge.â€? Americans for one have mastered the Roman strategy of “divide and conquerâ€?, if memory serves me right, CIA was operative in Iraq long before the 1980 war between Iran and Iraq. Getting these two sects to fight now might be all the more easier for America with its occupation of Iraq, Afghanistan and of course the big ally Israel pissing on the rest of Middle East. “Wouldn’t they want conflicts within Islam?”
Then what good is it for Shea and Sunni’s to go after each others throat when the Western theocracies are right on the fence waiting for one such opportunity? Stupidity is a trait that Social Darwinists overlooked while coining the phrase “Survival of the Fittest.� Need I say more?
People are killed for no reason in Iraq, and then there are times when the reason for killings are so bizarre, it, it simply makes no sense.
