As we all know, the Iran-Saudi Arabia proxy war is being fought on multiple fronts with boots of both sides being present at one of them. The Iranian Revolutionary has been in Syria since 2014 and is doing battle against Western-backed Wahhabi extremists while the Saudi-led coalition has been trying to eradicate the Houthi rebels in Yemen.
The ancient divide between Sunnis and Shia permeates to this day, but it's in the West's (western society, not for the piece of shit politicians) best interest that Shia Iran win the proxy war and gains more influence in the Middle East for a myriad of reasons. Saudi Arabia has successfully made the most violent and literal interpretation of Sunni Islam (Wahabism) into mainstream Islam in a generation and actively seeks to radicalize people wherever they can. Saudi Arabia uses charity and government funds to spread Wahhabi beliefs throughout the world, including in mosques and schools they've built not only domestically but internationally as well.
The technique of spreading Wahhabi-Salafi beliefs by funding mosques and, crucially, those who preach in them, has occurred in places such as Pakistan, Senegal, Austria, Bosnia-Herzegovina, and etc (In the event of a war involving a Muslim population, they attempt to radicalize said population. I.e. Chechens, who were formerly Sufist Muslims prior to the Chechen wars and subsequent Mujahadin presence in the region).
Their perverted, extremist interpretation of the Islamic doctrine is rooted in the core belief system of groups such as ISIS (ISIL), Al-Shabab, the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, Al-Nusra, Boko Haram, and other extremist groups which are also supported financially by Saudi Arabia. Shias, from what I understand, do not believe in forced conversion, hence why they're the minority in the Muslim world (It never left the Middle East, while Sunni Islam is prevalent in all parts of the world, mostly b/c of forceful conversion.) As of late, the Saudis are losing the war in Yemen, despite receiving billions of dollars worth of armament support from the United States, whilst Pro-Assad forces are making massive gains in Syria. Soon those Wahabi fucks will have no major Arab allies in the region besides the tiny Gulf states. Ruining secular Muslim states, completely destabilizing them in the process, and turning them into real hotbeds of extremism and terrorism which then spills over into neighboring countries is their specialty.
So, Holla Forums what does this proxy war entail? Who will be the victor? Should we support Iran during this whole cluster Kebab clusterfuck? Thoughts?
