Zero Hedge: This Just Became The Most Important Map In Geopolitics
Earlier today, in “Mid-East Melee: Sectarian Showdown Looms As Bahrain Cuts Ties With Iran, UAE Recalls Ambassador,” we brought you the latest from the war-torn Mid-East where a worsening spat between Saudi Arabia and Iran threatens to plunge the region into chaos.
Make no mistake, things were already out of control. The conflict in Syria has mushroomed into a global proxy war, Iraq is struggling to drive Islamic State from key cities, and Yemen remains mired in war nine months after the Saudis entered the fray to drive back the Houthis and restore the Hadi government.
Against that backdrop, the region could have done without the events that unfolded over the weekend. By executing prominent Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr, Riyadh has infuriated the Shiite community which took to the streets in protest, even going so far as to firebomb the Saudi embassy in Tehran.
WNU Editor: Sadly .... the answer is yes .... the Middle East is being divided along sectarian-religious lines.

WNU Editor,
Again, yes and no. Oman has been highly critical of the Saudi actions, Egypt and Jordan as well, Pakistan silent,
And the SAA is still composed of 60% Sunni's fighting against the Whabbist Genocidal Head Choppers.
