Document Summary
Ramifications of the sunni and shia split in today"s time: Recruitment strategy (people would feel bad because syria was being bombed and join isis as a pity job) Paycheck *** (to feed your family; syria is in shambles and there"s almost no way to support your family without joining isis) Iran: shia majority country with a shia government (since 1979) Dislikes us because we put up a dictator in iran for 25 years (for our own political gain because he didn"t like russia) Syria: sunni majority country with a shia government (iran supports syrian government) Saudi arabia: sunni majority country with a sunni government (fundamentalist rulers) Iraq: where isis started; shia majority country. Saddam hussain led sunni party in a shia country. Hussain kept the area stable during the iraq/iran war. Hussain didn"t say he didn"t have weapons of mass destruction because he didn"t want iran to keep invading iraq.
