The Next Sunni-Shia War

Back in the 1980s, the USA, Saudi Arabia and Saddam’s Iraq worked together to pin back Khomeini’s Iran. Besides the bloody Iran-Iraq war, there was war of the theological kind too: a rather familiar one of Sunni-Shia mutual anathematisation. Now there are similar portents of a sanguinary reprise in which the priority will once again be the containment of Iran through a viscious proxy war in Iraq (and the fear is, further afield), with what might be the tacit blessing of the US and the UK.

Should muslims vote Conservative?

I was thinking this because of how Cameron's bunch have reacted during this whole niqab scenario.They've really been the only ones pointing out the oppurtunism and stupidity of Blair's allies around this issue.

In general I think muslims should seek to allie themselves with certain sections of the conservative establishment and also with conservative religious groups like Orthodox jews and Catholics.
