The Sunni-Shi'a Civil War: An Arab Take

http://www.aawsat.net/2013/05/article55303546

I've been commenting about this danger for weeks. Lest anyone think it's all in my Islamophobic head, here is an Arab opinion piece lamenting the deepening and spreading sectarian fighting.

"After recognizing that civil war is now the reality on the ground, many refused to acknowledge that it transformed once again, into a sectarian war. Opposition representatives claim that Syria will not fall into the quagmire of sectarian violence and that the Syrian opposition represents all communities. But talk is one thing, and reality another. What is happening on the ground in terms of killings, displacement, and exactly who is being targeted makes it crystal clear that this is a sectarian war with all the inherent ugliness and brutality, and it is tearing Syria apart"
