Here's the problem of Anti Shia Satellite broadcasts worldwide

Shia Islam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Shia" and "Shias" redirect here. For other uses, see Shia (disambiguation).
The Shia, or the Shiites, (Arabic: شيعةShīʿah) represent the second largest denomination of Islam. Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually.[1] Shi'a is the short form of the historic phrase Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي) meaning "followers", "faction" or "party" of Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Ali, whom the Shia believe to be Muhammad's successor in the Caliphate. Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam, and the term Shia Muslim is often taken to refer to Twelvers by default. Shia Muslims constitute 10-15% of the world's Muslim population, while Sunnis constitute 85-90%. [2]

So, if shias are only 10 to 15% of the Muslims and Sunnis are 85 to 90% and ISIL and Al Qaeda are Sunni you can see the problem of Anti-Shia rhetoric being spread by Satellite TV all over the world by Sunnis.

There are about 1.1 Billion Sunnis and only about 163 millions Shias World wide. 

If this bigotry against Shias keeps on going only Iran will still be standing 100 years from now and only if they have an atomic bomb or two to use on Sunnis to protect themselves.

The other problem is that if Sunnis can get away with exterminating all Shias they will try to get rid of all Christians next.(and not just in the Middle East). 


However, to be fair, where did all this start?

It started when the Sunnis revolted in Syria. When Russia and Iran decided to support Assad no matter what the Sunnis in Syria wanted, this kind of Anti-Shia rhetoric began. Where it will end is unknown at present.
