"Shiite religious leader Sheikh Mohammed al-Attiyah who preached for Shiites to work peacefully with Saudi Arabia’s Sunni majority"

WTF?
Aren't there parts in the Koran about peace seeking? They rail on and on how Islam is a peaceful religion, but in this one instance where there was an opportunity to promote it through working together with other sects, it is not only outlawed, but brutally snuffed out.

What makes these neanderthals our ally and Iran an enemy? I don't see any difference other than we sell a lot of arms to one, and get a lot of oil back. That and they own a large chunk of Fox News.
