What part of "coexistence" do the Shia iunderstand? None of it. They are not a "live and let live" sect.
Sunnis, yes. Shia, no. Study their history and you will see that the destruction of Israel is explicitly written into the Hamas Charter, and funded by the Shia country of Iran. Shia constitute only 15% of Islam but are the 100% of all the believer wars so far in our lifetimes.
A nation that can only sustain itself by attacking and terrorizing its neighbours, oppressing and stealing the land of its natives, and impoverishing and making into refugees millions of human beings is a nation that needs to reform, do some serious soul-searching or face the consequences sooner or later.
You have just mapped out US history and the history of every colonizing country. What we liberal Americans enjoy came on the backs of human trafficking and genocide even before the 'self exceptional' founders wrote our founding documents. We Americans must tell the truth about our history, warts and all. You realize that, right?
Weapons and believer wars are the bane of the planet. America must reform. Israel must reform. Iran must reform. And even the Sunni kingdom of Saud must reform its dark money proxy funding against Israel.
It's why we continue diplomacy with warring believer countries who call us "the Great Satan".
The Shia's wars are part of its forever war, as is that of Putin's Russia. Good luck with convincing them of your "universal values."
If you believe in humanism and universal values, then you would be able to clearly identify those who don't.
Your post shows that you don't. Being in denial about that (by your standards) will not make you a credible human.
We should not fool ourselves about who wants a just peace for the world, and who wants an unjust peace.
