Muslim Bombings

Oh boy do I have a story for you! In the past couple of hours, air strikes have hit Yemen. The countries that have conducted the strikes are the United Arab Eremites, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, Morocco, Sudan, and Saudi Arabia. These countries have also received naval support from Egypt and Pakistan. Egyptian and Saudi ground forces may also be used in the near future. Wait, why are they bombing Yemen? Well, Yemen has had a recent uprising by the Houthis, a strong military group. The Houthis happen to be Shiite and they bombing countries don't like that very much. The countries behind the strikes are predominately Sunni. These Sunni countries fear that Yemen may become a Shiite controlled country, and that is the last thing they want. With the airstrikes and the threatening of ground troops entering Yemen, it is safe to say that the Middle East is on the brink of war. Check out the entire story here: http://www.cnn.com/2015/03/26/middleeast/yemen-saudi-arabia-airstrikes/index.html

This is bad, very bad. I am personally ticked off by what is happening. It's terrible that countries are bombing another country due to their dominant religion. That's like the U.S. bombing England because they're predominately Protestant. Ridiculous. These aggressive countries need to understand the difference in religion. Every country is different, but these countries just don't want that to be the case. Wars due to religious issues need to stop.
