Syria plunging Mideast into sectarian war?

(CNN) — As they contemplate military action against Syria, one of many considerations members of Congress and Obama administration officials have to weigh is how a U.S. strike against the regime of Bashar al-Assad might effect the already complicated, even poisonous, state of Sunni-Shia relations in the region.

Three of the leading Sunni states, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE, have already offered their military assets if a US strike happens.

Last week, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that the Shia government of Iran and close Syrian ally Russia would work in “extensive cooperation” to protect Syria.

  1. The biggest problem with such analysts is ignoring about the prophecy
    made by the prophet of Islam Muhammad(saw). He very categorically stated
    that Islamic Ummah will be divided in various sects calling each other as infidels. Only
    one will be on the correct path and will follow the true Islam. These
    days whole Islamic Ummah has been involved in political Islam which has nothing to do with real teachings of Islam. On one side Wahabi Saudis are dreaming to control the whole Muslim Ummah while on the other side Shia Iran is gearing up to be the champion of Islam. In depth Islamic study
    reveals both are on wrong path. In current era revival of true teaching
    of Islam has been tied with the appearing of Messiah and Mahdi. No
    other school of thought can ever resolve the problems faced by Muslim Ummah. This prophesied Mahdi and Messiah has already appeared in 1989 and founded the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community. From last 125 years the community spiritual heads are advocating to whole Muslim Ummah and the rest of the world how to achieve peace on the planet. The fifth successor of the community Mirza Masroor Ahamd,
    very recently through Capitol Hill, European Parliament and British
    Parliament drew the attention of the whole world on the ways and means
    to achieve the global peace. When God Almighty has decided that global
    peace can only be achieved by following His commandments narrated by His
    divinely guided messenger then how a worldly leader can ever succeed
    to achieve the peace. Be it Sunni Shia conflict in Islam or Catholic Protestant
    in Christians, remedy of each conflict lies to hear and follow the
    advises of the Man appointed by the God. It is simple to say but
    extremely difficult to understand and follow it. However it is the
    bitter fact. Sooner the mankind will digest it better would be for all.
