‘HALF-PAST SIX’ JAKIM, ISMA & IBRAHIM ALI WILL HAVE TO CLOSE SHOP: IT WAS NEVER ABOUT SAVING PALESTINE – SAUDI CROWN PRINCE VISITS ISRAEL TO MAKE PEACE AS SHIAS IN IRAN GROW STRONGER

stepped-up activities of Israel and Arab regimes to establish ties

My comments : Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is already on record that many Sunni Arab countries have established ‘communications lines’ with Israel.

They have a common enemy – Ayatollah Iran – which swears every day that they will liberate Palestine and drown all the Jews in the sea.

But isnt this also what Saudi Arabia and all the Sunni Arab countries have also been saying ie  that they will liberate Palestine and drown all the Jews in the sea ?

So what has happened? How come Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt  and other Sunni Arab countries now see a common friend in Israel?

No prizes for the correct answer – Shia Iran. 

This is not about liberating Palestine. This is about preserving their own hides.

The common enemy is Iran. Hence all the secret and not so secret meetings.

Here is a table (2015) of the world’s largest Shia populations.

Actually the Indian subcontinent (India + Pakistan + Bangladesh) has the world’s largest Shia population, almost 100 Million.

Iran is next with over 73 million Shias.

There are over 300 million Shias around the world.

What the table above does not show is that Shias form the majority in Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Azerbaijan, and Bahrain. They also form the largest group in Lebanon. 

In the Middle East, Shias as a whole constitute 38.6% of the local Muslim population.

Although Sunnis make up the vast majority of Muslims in the world, the largest Sunni populations are in “far-away non Arab muallaf (or new Islamic)” countries like Indonesia, India, Pakistan, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Nigeria and others.

India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia alone have over 800 million Sunni Muslims.

This leaves a lot less Sunni Muslims in the Middle East.    
In the Arab heartland,  the proportion of Sunnis and Shias is a lot closer. 

This is the greatest fear among Sunni Arab countries like Saudi Arabia. 

Hence the cooperation with Israel.

What if the Iranians get rid of the Ayatollahs and re-establish a secular Iranian republic which becomes West friendly?  This is certain to happen sometime.  

The West (and Israel) will tilt towards Iran (and the Shias) 

The ‘Great War’ in the Middle East has not started yet.

Orang Melayu kena faham sikit ok. 

Solution dia simple : We mind our own business. We take care of our own country and our own people first. Jangan masuk campur hal pak Arab unta.  

Depa semua jaga survival depa sendiri. 
Depa tak peduli pun hal negara ‘muallaf’ lain.
