There's no such thing as Abrahamic religion

KnownUnknown:
Abrahamic religion, the disease that will end the world. Sunni vs Shia, Christian vs Jew, Jew vs Muslim, Jew vs everyone, Christian vs everyone, Muslim vs everyone.

I dont think you are alright...how many times despite the huge factions among Christians, you see them carry weapons in the name of jesus and killing each other in the name of jesus. You will only see that in Islam. Call a spade a spade

The situation in Yemen is essentially like this:

Before 1990, there were two countries called Yemen:

1. The Yemen Arab Republic (YAR), also called North Yemen, which had its capital at Sana'a.


2. The People's Democratic Republic of Yemen (PDRY), also called South Yemen, with its capital at Aden.

These two states officially unified to form the current Republic of Yemen on May 22, 1990.

A separatist group called the Southern Transitional Council (STC) was created in Yemen on May 11, 2017 because the people of Southern Yemen no longer wish to be in a united Yemen and they want to go back to the independent status they enjoyed before the United Republic of Yemen was created in 1990.

To further complicate matters, you have a religious dimension with the Houthi Rebels who are Shiites.

Most Yemenis are Sunni Muslims, however there is a significant Shiite minority population led by the Houthis who are backed by Iran which is the largest and most powerful Shiite country in the world.

The Houthis are essentially fighting a Holy War against Sunni Muslims in Yemen in order to impose Shiite Islam on them, something which the Saudis who are staunch Sunnis have vowed will never happen.

So Saudi Arabia is essentially fighting on 4 opposing fronts:

They're fighting against the STC separatists;

They're fighting against the UAE who are backing the STC separatists;

They're fighting against the Houthi Shiite Rebels; and

They're engaged in a cold war with Iran who is backing the Houthi rebels.

Iran will probably want to drag its other regional puppet, Hezbolla into the conflict and things could get very messy, very quickly.

2026 is shaping up to be a frightening year for the Middle East with the way things are going.
Good explanation

Will Yemen receive similar treatment like Ukraine?

Will world leaders grant their citizens Asylum?

The whole muslim countries are free to terrorise themselves, as long as it's not Israel that doing it.


Muslim killing muslims no protest no outcry
I think Muslims don't want non-muslims into their affairs. That's all.

Always fighting, killing, bloodshed, this religion sef.

Re: Saudi Arabia Bombs UAE Ship Carrying Weapons To Yemeni Rebels by IndexMode:
As usual the typical level of stupidity always displayed by a regular nairaland critic is on display again.

Without any personal research, so many idiots are happy to hear about death of their perceived Muslim enemies and accept the intonation of a religious conflict.

There is a government in Yemen, and a separatist rebel group wants to oust it or get their own colony carved out to rule. The Saudis decided to support that Government, along with others, while Iran supports the rebels. The Saudis claim they are more concerned because they share a border and need a Government they can corporate with as neighbors.
They involved themselves physically, collecting weapons from US and bombing Yemen with it. The move was highly criticized as genocidal.
UAE distanced themselves to preserve their own image and tourism. It led to a cold shoulder from Saudi.
Iran support the Rebels openly as they usually like to oppose US interests.

This crisis has been going on for several years now and there's no single religious undertone to it, except according to the wishes of your personal opinion.


The latest event had Saudi claiming those shipments were weapons and insisting the UAE is now working against them. UAE officials have immediately claimed they are disappointed in the allegations and it was just routine trade supplies. Every other Middle Eastern player is trying to help find peace.
Saudi has also been trying to clean up their image explaining they are no longer getting g civilians killed, that this airstrike was even conducted in midnight to prevent collateral damage.

In summary, STC doesn't like Yemen federal government anymore and want to rule or separate the South Yemen. Unfortunately, for North the South is the oil rich part in a desert country.
That's why there's a civil war.

A thorough research is necessary to discover why the children of Abraham are this deadly. Anything that came from him Jewish, Christianity or Islam. Why aren't the hindus, the Buddhists, the Shintoists, Osun and Ogun worshippers deadly like this?
Imagine how peaceful the world would have been if Abraham wasn't born.
their are aslo extremists in the other religion you mentioned but not too popular.

if you don't have anything to type read comments alone or leave the cyberspace rather peddling fallacies. Who are the Christians fighting? Just tell me one Christian terrorists group moving or hovering around with guns and bombs. Abeg face your atheism without dragging Christianity in it to have an engagement because you will be seriously engaged...
