That wasn't a religious war it was the US being bitter about being booted out of Iran and the puppet the Shaw was a CIA installed stooge. The death in Iran from 1953-1979 was by the orders of the same CIA. Oil was the reason for that as well as all other wars in that area that claimed Muslim lives. You didn't strike me as a person who is comfortable living with denial, guess I was wrong.well then you prove my point. Religion is the cause of all the evils in the world.
Yet how long have they lived in the same area and both were still thriving until you know who came in with guns blazing and playing one side against the other. Sad to see you giving them a free pass.Baloney. Sunni and Shia have never gotten along regardless of whether the US was even around. Muslim against Muslim is wrong regardless of the excuse and the same goes for Muslim against Christian, against gays, against any other human. Similar behavior is also just as wrong from Christians or any other humans.
The Holy Wars were Christians invading their homeland, you can hardly blame them for resisting that move. No complaints about 'the West' waging 1,000 year war and never making it a win. About time to give it up would be the sensible thing to do but then Christians were never noted for having that as part of their resume.
