Wahhabism Islam has been interested in Genociding all Shia Muslims for Centuries in a religious war that continues to today

So, one way to look at all this is that Iran has been fighting for it's life and very survival simply because the Majority of Sunni Muslims want to Genocide all Shia Muslims in Iran, Syria, Iraq and Yemen. So, now that Iran is weakened you need to expect the Saudi Muslims to begin to genocide all the Shias of the Middle East while Iran is in a weakened state with no one strong enough to defend against what is happening now to Iran.

I'm not saying that maybe what Trump did might help the U.S. what I'm saying is that the repercussions of this are a real nightmare of epic proportions ongoing for years and years (at least in the Middle East) in regard to the centuries long religious wars going on there regarding the different Sects of Islam. 

begin quote from Google AI and the Internet:

Wahhabism is a strict, puritanical form of Sunni Islam that originated in the 18th century in present-day Saudi Arabia. It's characterized by a literal interpretation of the Quran and Hadith, a strong emphasis on monotheism (tawhid), and a rejection of what it considers innovations or deviations from early Islamic practices. Followers, often called Salafis or Muwahhidun, aim to purify Islam by returning to what they perceive as the pure, original teachings of the faith. 

Key aspects of Wahhabism:

• Literal Interpretation:

  Wahhabism emphasizes a strict, literal interpretation of the Quran and the Prophet Muhammad's teachings (Sunnah) as recorded in the Hadith. 

Rejection of Innovation:

They reject practices they consider to be innovations (bid'ah) or deviations from what they see as the original, pure form of Islam, including veneration of saints, excessive ornamentation of mosques, and certain forms of Sufism. 

Emphasis on Monotheism (Tawhid):

Wahhabism places a strong emphasis on the absolute oneness and uniqueness of God (Allah) and rejects any form of polytheism or association of partners with God. 

Purification of Islam:

The movement seeks to purify Islam by removing what they believe are later accretions and distortions, returning to what they see as the core teachings of the faith. 

Social and Political Impact:

Wahhabism has had a significant impact on Saudi Arabia, where it has been the dominant form of Islam for centuries. It has also influenced Islamic movements and thought globally, with varying degrees of acceptance and critique. 

Controversies and Criticisms:

Wahhabism has been criticized for its strictness, intolerance towards other interpretations of Islam, and its association with extremist groups like al-Qaeda and ISIS. Some view it as a rigid and intolerant interpretation of Islam that hinders adaptation to diverse circumstances, according to Wikipedia. 

Historical Context:

Formed an alliance with the Saudi royal family, which helped solidify its influence and spread its doctrines.
