Conflicting Interest In Regional Dominance Encouraging Militants And Extremists In Middle East: Is It Acceptable?

In the Middle East, regional dominance and Shiite-Sunni conflict is giving rise to and encouraging militants and extremists.

Saudi Arabia and it’s allies and Iran and it’s allies are in opposite groups, with Saudi Arabia being Sunni dominant and Iran being Shiite dominant.

Because of power conflict and interest in regional dominance, both sides are encouraging groups of opposing militants and extremists.

But does “Islam”, a word derived from “Salam”, which literally means “peace”, really encourage or even approve such conflicts?
Suicide and collateral damage are forbidden in Islam and the person who commits suicide is destined to go to hell.
Prophet Muhammad declared unity of humanity in his last sermon, "All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a white has no superiority over black nor a black has any superiority over white except by piety and good action." [1]


In the age of globalization, it’s the mutual economic relationship and mutual economic engagement, not military engagement, that brings prosperity.
