Related to the recent event of murdering of Shia civilians with that explosion in Iraq, it, again, should not need a reminder that whether a person is a Shia, Sunny, Christian, Yazidi, or with any other faith or belief, that should not lower even a tiny bit seeing that the blood of that person is morally protected. But just in case someone draws the conclusion that for the Shia to be targeted like that they must have a belief that is at least very far fetched in relation to Islam, that person may get shocked with how depending on even just the Sunny books suggests the other way around. I was a teenager of an age that probably was closer to childhood when I first asked myself why do I believe in this sect rather than that. But later finding an answer based on the resources of the Sunny themselves was like a walk in the park. There is no comparison between choosing between Islam and a different religion (or no religion) and between those two sects. That is because in the latter case there is a shared root and that root is the prophet of Islam. Trying to really follow that root leaves no doubt in which side is the correct one and how much the claims of the other side is hard to even reconcile within just itself.
It is this clarity of facts what the Saudis are really trying to fight with their persecution of the Shia wherever they can reach them.
