Why are Muslim countries with a large population living in the world only fighting?

Why are Muslim countries with a large population living in the world only fighting?

In the current tension between the US and Iran, the world's largest Muslim population is also face-to-face. Muslim-majority Saudi Arabia, UAE and Bahrain are also standing with the US against Iran Saudi Arabia then seeks aggressive action of the US against Iran.

Saudi Arabia sees Iran as a major threat to its influence in the Middle East. When Obama changed his strategy against Iran, Saudi Arabia resisted the most, thus the policy of the Trump administration came as a relief for him. After the US ban on import of Iranian oil, Saudi Arabia is trying to ensure that global supply of oil is not affected by Washington.

After the Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein was ousted from power in 2003, the battle for territorial domination between Saudi Arabia and Iran had accelerated and the two countries used proxy against each other. Riyad feared that Shia-ruled Iran was trying to create unrest between the Shiite community of his kingdom and supporting Tehran's Yemen rebel rebels is part of its strategy.

The struggle in Middle East Asia has often been seen from the perspective of Shia-Sunni confrontation. It is said that war has been fought within Islam and the fight for these two sects of Islam is very old.

85 percent of the world's Muslim population is Sunni and Sunni majority is in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Yemen, Pakistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia. On the other hand, Iran and Iraq are Shia-dominated countries. Shia is the largest minority community in Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, Lebanon and Azerbaijan.

Nader Hashmi and Danny Postal put together their comments in the book 'Sectarianism: Mapping the New Politics of the Middle East', the comments of politicians, journalists and experts who have hated hatred between Shia-Sunni. For example, US Senator Ted Cruz had said that the conflict between Shiite and Sunni had begun from 632 AD, so there could be nothing more than stupidity to blame US national security for the 1500-year-old religious conflict. .

US Senate leader Mitch McConnell also said that what is happening in the Arab world is a religious conflict which has been running for thousands of years. In the US Middle East Asia, the pacifist and former senator also repeated this mantra behind Middle East Asia-after the battle of political supremacy that started after the death of Prophet Mohammed, there was a dispute in Shia-Sunni which was still in the entire world. Its going on. It is also a big factor in Iraq, Syria and other countries. The author of New York Times Thomas Frightman also says that the main issue in Middle East Asia is that after the death of Prophet Mohammad in the 7th century, who is the right successor - Shia or Sunni

There is no doubt that there is a deep historical root of conflict in Middle East Asia. After the death of the Prophet Mohammad, the dispute had begun, who was his real successor and that question became the core center of the struggle. But what is right to link the past with the present struggle: Are Muslims of Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Lebanon still fighting because of their religious beliefs and differences? The answer is - no.

Religion is a small reason behind the geo-strategic and political picture of Middle East Asia. If the dispute between Shia and Sunni had been resolved, who was the real successor of Prophet Muhammad, the bloody conflicts in Syria or Yemen would not have stopped. It is a very simple analysis of the struggles of the 7th century religious differences in the struggle in Middle East Asia.

Many examples are enough to prove this. Journalist Jamal Khashogzi's ruthless murder was criticized everywhere. Khashoggi was Sunni Muslim and even those who killed him Sunni Turkey, which killed her in the country and who played a role in providing information about murder, is also a Sunni-dominated country. Saudi Arabia detained the Lebanese Prime Minister in 2017, that too was Sunni. Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Africa's Horns, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and UAE are not far away from the Shi'as. Turk's campaign against the Kurd is also a matter between the Sunnis.

The competition between Shia-Sunni will be seen in the 21st century unsuccessful states or from the perspective of political, national and geo-strategic hostility in the growing states.

The root of the conflict in Middle East Asia is not only in Islamic ideology but in modern nationalism. The Shia-Sunni conflict has been transformed into a fierce war between Iran and Saudi Arabia. The nationalist leaders of Saudi Arabia and Iran are showing their strategic hostility in areas where governments have failed. The battle for political supremacy is under the guise of religion.

Shia and Sunni have been in existence together in history. There is no conflict between the DNA of both sects and war is not their destiny. Even between Iran and Saudi Arabia nationalist animosity appears. Regional conflict between Tehran and Riyadh has not been from the beginning. In 1970, the monarchs of Iran and Saudi Arabia stood together against the Nationalist Republic of Egypt.

Overall, Sunni and Shi'a are not fighting any religious wars. Iran and Arab nationalism have been transformed into regional animosity, especially in Syria and Iraq.
