Is America Partly Responsible For The Suppression Of Arab Shias?
September 21, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
When America’s top diplomat calls Iran an emerging Junta, and the West repeatedly calls Tehran a regional threat, it gives the region’s other not-democracies — you know, the friendly ones — carte blanche to suppress and discriminate against their Shia minorities and, in the case of Bahrain, majorities.
When things become about Sunni-Vs-Shia , all of logic, persuasion, argumentation and debate become obsolete. It becomes a power game in which factions want to control each other.
