I don't often have a reaction to the incessant Sunni vs. Shi'ite warfare now raging in the Middle East, but make an exception following the bombing of a mosque in Saudi Arabia.

Saudis learn from grade one that Shi'ites aren't real Muslims. And Muslims think it is fine and dandy to kill non-Muslims.So, basically Saudis are programmed from grade one to kill Shi'ites and anyone else that is not Sunni.

The Shi'ites and Sunnis are almost as bad as the Protestant vs. Catholic rivalry than plagued Christians hundreds of years ago. It is like the Muslims are hundreds of years behind the Christians and working their way through the same growing pains that Christianity went through.

It seems to me that Saudi Arabia overall is just as evil as Iran. Both countries are fanatical, torturing tyrannies. The best that can be said about the Saudis is they are intelligent enough to manipulate the U.S. government in advancement of their own interests, whereas Iran is pigheaded to their own detriment. Iran goes out of its way to oppose U.S. interests. In reality, if politics were removed from the equations, I suspect Americans have more in common with Iranians, culturally and intellectually, than we do with the Sauds, whose Wahhabi brand of Islam has fueled the rise of the Islamic State and sponsored terrorism around the globe.

The Saudis need to recognize that their religion is a bunch of Shi'ite, and Allah is a mirage like the kind you get in the desert when you haven't found water. They need to visit the oasis of knowledge. Billions of dollars and thousands of fanatic imams have not improved their ethics one iota. Maybe we should let Iran take over their country and teach them a lesson or two, that is, after oil has been replaced as the world's main energy source. Those two barbarian tribes can fight it out in the desert sands and figure out the right version of their cult, just before it gets erased from history.

As for ISIS destroying world heritage sites in the Middle East, that's fine, clever Westerners have already recovered most of the knowledge available from those places. No civilized person will have any reason to visit that area ever, and once oil is done with as a commodity, those people will not even be able to make a living through tourism. Their stupid vandalism now impoverishes their children just a little bit more a thousand years from now. "Gee thanks a lot, Grand Dad, now we have to go harvest salt from the sea all day long in order to buy a crust of bread."
