Do you believe Yemen and Bahrain will get worse?
Not Bahrain. The only nation that has an interest in overthrowing the Bahraini government is Iran. A country that has no access to Bahrain unlike KSA.
Most of the Bahraini protestors (contrary to popular belief) are not calling for the overthrow of the system but for more political rights and a better representation. Like in many Muslim nations. Sunnis have taken part in the protests too. Which many do not know about also.
Yemen is currently a political mess. It's such a mess that nobody wants to touch it. Western and most Arab countries are evacuating their embassy staffs. This is an obvious sign of them washing their hands and not wanting to have anything to do with the events.
Houthis are not going to last long. Zaydis only form 35-40% of Yemen's population and they have no control of areas outside of Northern Yemen. It was basically a coup d'état. Now most Yemenis are demonstrating against them and the Houthi's killed some ZAYDI protestors in Ta'izz yesterday. It's very complicated due to the tribal element and AQAP.
It's an internal conflict. Has little to do with KSA and even less so with Iran.
The good thing is that whatever happens in Yemen is hardly going to spill over to KSA as KSA has lived with a unstable Yemen for the past 50 years. There were periods in history where Yemen was much, much more unstable and nothing really happened in KSA because of that. Other than more Yemeni migrants arriving.
Back then KSA was much weaker than today. So everyone can do the math.
In short - the international community and the Arab world have let Yemen down.
It's due to the lack of solidarity in the region and various agendas.
I am not sure if the ME needs their own WW1 and WW2 to get their shit together. If this indeed is the case one can hope that something good will come out of it at least.
Anyway we are off-topic.
Don't be so ignorant. These people don't represent us and they are killing Muslims like mosquitos. I don't know why you make such an argument.
You should thank Mrs Clinton for destabilizing Libya, an otherwise stable country, just like Iraq. All of this bloodshed is on your hands.
Yes, let's blame the 1.7 billion (!) Muslims for the work of some 30.000 of the biggest anti-Muslims out there who kill Muslims (99% of all their victims are Muslims) first of all and whose actions have little to do with Islam.
Makes perfect sense. Oh, wait it does not and never did but it's acceptable anyway as Muslims are just terrorists waiting to kill any non-Muslim around them.
Evident of the current Muslim Holocaust of Europeans for instance.
