Iran-Saudi Relations

I will say Iran Saudi relations is the point where the human race future is defined.
Let us first outline the points which I have made earlier in the blog posts:
  • You can be either a Shia or you can be a Sunni. You cannot be both.
  • You need not be a Muslim to be a Shia or Sunni. By being born as a human being you will find yourself in either two divisions.
  • Hindus are like Shia. What happens to be a 'true Shia' you need to be a born as a Shia. And to be a 'real Hindu' you have to be born Hindu.
  • The country of Pakistan has to decide whether it wants to side with Shias or the Sunnis in this conflict. Most countries which were earlier with the Soviet Union are going with Shias. Most of the countries with the US are siding with Sunnis. (Western) Europe is in two minds. It cannot decide which bloc to go with. If they listen to the US they will go with Sunni.
  • You can become a Sunni by conversion whenever you want. Islam welcomes all to its faith and you can be a Sunni quite easily. Thus Sunni are thus more welcoming to the outsiders.
Basically, who will inherit the religion of Islam? That is the conflict between Shia and Sunni.
Shia will say that the blood relations of the Prophet Muhammad are the ones who will lead them.
Sunni will say that the followers will decide who will lead them.
And therein lies the difference which goes to the very heart of the human race and decides our existence on this planet.
The religion of Islam is supposed to be the last religion of the Abrahamic line and the Prophet Muhammad is the Last prophet.
All the Abrahamic religions, Islam, Christianity and Judaism give the emphasis on End of Days and Judgment Day.
Thus it is not just about the religion. It is about the earth. The Shia Sunni divide is about who will inherit the earth for the future generations.
Iran-Iraq War, Afghanistan War, conflict in Kashmir, war in Yemen all have their sources in the Shia Sunni divide. If we look at all the conflicts and dig deeper it is basically a Shia Sunni conflict.
