The role of Muslims in the current conflicts

[Mystic]

It seems pretty clear that the Shi'a are blaming the Sunnis for this outrage.

You mean blaming Saudi Regime who just killed a Shia scholar?

[WinterHold]

The execution was rash, stupid, and surprising. But what to expect from a gang of bandits who cover behind religion ?
Another example, of how fuel is thrown into the turmoil.

But I guess, as I said in the thread about the executions, most Sunnis wouldn't want to be associated with Wahhabism.

I see it more as a thrashing regime, trying to regain it's footing. The military actions in Jemen, 47 executions at one single day. There are various sources saying that the current minister of defense, Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud, and a clique surrounding him, are positioning themselves for taking over, once the very ill monarch dies.

They're positioning themselves against Iran for quite a while now. Not surprisingly so, since Iran's policy is to be the accepted and influencal leader of the Shia.

Fucking Mo screwed up his plan of succession.

Funny how Allah failed to give him a heads up on that mess.

Well he did whine that there was at least seventy-three different versions of his BS floating around even as he was still spewing it.  So if they wouldn't follow his dictates why would they follow his hand-picked successor?

"Dawud :: Book 40 : Hadith 4579

Narrated AbuHurayrah:

The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The Jews were split up into seventy-one or seventy-two sects; and the Christians were split up into seventy one or seventy-two sects; and my community will be split up into seventy-three sects."

I would expect nothing less. And the reactions from the 'Champions of Democracy' is silence. Get a load of this:
The reality is, if you dare to criticise Saudi (and compare them to al-Saud's henchmen in Iraq and Syria), thus being consistent, as Mehdi Hasan was being, you get accused of being an apologist for al-Saud's henchmen in Syria and Iraq by David Cameron's lackeys: (EDIT: Mehdi is a supporter of Ali by the way)
