If Thommy and Glen had bothered to watch the program they would understand why Islam is at its own throat and killing and be devastating their own world.

Quote:
An estimated 15% of citizens in Saudi Arabia are Shia Muslims, most of whom are adherents to Twelver Shia Islam. ... Shia demonstrations in Qatif have sometimes led to conflict with Sunni Saudi religious authorities who disapprove of Shia commemorations marking the martyrdom of Hussein ibn Ali by the Sunni Caliph Yazid I.

Quote:
Islam is the religion of 99.4% of Iranians. 90-95% of Iranians are Shi'a and 5-10% are Sunni. Most Sunnis in Iran are Kurds, Larestani people (from Larestan), Turkomen, and Baluchs, living in the northwest, northeast, south, and southeast.[1] Almost all of Iranian Shi'as are Twelvers.
Though Iran is known today as a stronghold of the Shi'a Muslim faith, it did not become so until much later, around the 15th century. The Safavid dynasty made Shi'a Islam the official state religion in the early sixteenth century and aggressively proselytized on its behalf. It is also believed that by the mid-seventeenth century most people in Iran and the territory of the contemporary neighboring Republic of Azerbaijan had become Shi'as, an affiliation that has continued. Over the following centuries, with the state-fostered rise of a Persian-based Shi'ite clergy, a synthesis was formed between Persian culture and Shi'ite Islam that marked each indelibly with the tincture of the other.

Read the whole two articles. For this is the foundation of Islam. Mohammed rode out of Medina at the head of a large army to invade Mecca. Anyone who didn't convert was put to the sword or made to pay a tax and bend to his new religion.
Today after relevant peace in the 70s, Islam has been at war with itself. Iran and Saudi throwing $billions if not $trillions at spreading the word. By building huge mosques or buying arms. If the US, UK don't supply them the Russians and Chinese will. Anyone who believes the US/UK is the only country selling arms is an idiot. And as most of them are used against other Muslims, it's Islams problem.
But Islam is only going back to earlier times. All won at the end of a sword.
