What was idiotic about what he said? I am a non-Arab sunni Muslim, and if the saudi government is baselessly abusing at-Tasha’yu, then they have a right to fight back.

There is a disturbing anti-Iranian sentiment that has been in the minds of Arabs since the days of Jahiliyah, even before Shia’ism was established (by bloody force) in Iran.

Please make a note at what is going on in Palestine, ever since Hamas decided that it would actually take up Iran’s offer of support there has been nothing but abuse and obfuscation from Israel, and even KSA blamed Hamas for its latest difficulty.

Do you think KSA (or any of the other Arab countries) is sincere then in terms of giving rights to Shia’at and enhancing Muslim unity? KSA and the rest of the Arab league are a huge obstacle in that path. To give yet another example, please recall what was the reaction of Amr Moussa when the official name of Iraq was changed to “Islamic Republic of Iraq”? He nearly shit in his pants. Perish the thought that the people would want to drop the “Arab” from its name and put Islamic. There was such a hue and cry from the nationalists that the name “Republic of Iraq” is now used.

How does that tie in to the above? Here is how. Ask yourself, do you see the Saudi government reducing its abuse of Shi’at any time in the near future, or in your life time? That is something to think about. Iran has been saying for the longest time to look beyond the Sunni Shia divide and find common cause in Islam. It seems to me that the Arab nations can’t stand that because it undercuts their efforts as being the incompetent leaders of the Muslim world. Iran has the balls to move full steam ahead, maybe KSA need to move to the back of the line and at the same time stob being such a bootlicker to the USA….

I don’t know much about the thoughts of sheihk Al-Nimr, Ican’t judge him ,he might be a radical person as you say . Even though I agree with you that the speech was no in the right time or place,but according to the parts you’ve mentioned that he is worried about the US attacking Iran and that Iran has the right to defent itself, I agree with him the 2 parts as US has NO RIGHT to attack Iran for silly reasons, they are and in case they will start their war in Iran,it will worsen the bad situation in the middle east.
I believe in freedom of speech ,and hardly believe in negociation even with those we think have total different opinions.

Good job Ahmed. You’re starting to be a moderate after all these anti-Sunni extremest. Shiats have their extremest as well. That’s a thing we don’t see often discussed here.

I fully agree with you. Muslims are labelled as intolerant people. I agree that muslims should be intolerant but they should be intolerant of intolerance. I invite you to visit my blog “voiceoftolerance’ at above address and facilitate tolerance.

Its nice that you are starting to show some neutrality is your posting, one sidedness was getting kind of old. Keep up the good work.

I don’t know what the hell (he was – not – was he) thinking

There (are -not- is) some efforts on both sides to soothe the sectarian tension

Extremisms begets extremism. The extreme anti-Shi’a nature of the Saudi government, in both it’s actions at home and abroad, only strenthen these types.

They they off of each other.
