re: #188 SanFranciscoZionist

Of topic, but I have an atlas from National Geographic showing the Middle East, and the religious distribution, among other things. I noticed that a) National Geographic considers the Wahhabis a completely different subset of Islam from Shia and Sunni and b) They are only the Majority in the Middle 2/3rds or so. The Shia are big in the Persian Gulf area, while Mainline Sunnis are still holding on in Mecca, Medina, and the Hijaz. I wonder if a joined rebellion of those two could be enough to topple.

The site I quoted from earlier in regards to Wahhabi hate of logic referred to the area it came from, the Nejd, as a backwater. This is from an explicitly Muslim organization, so this is hopeful.
