SHIITES TEST RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS IN SAUDI ARABIA
Several thousand Saudi Shiites took to the streets on Wednesday to mourn the death of the Prophet Mohammed's grandson, pushing the boundaries in a country that regards them as heretics.

I have not understood the feud between shiites and sunnis but understand that it predates the crusades. I think that it is good that Saudi Arabia is allowing their religious freedom to blossom, even into the streets. Its a sign of a country that has moved past religious rule and into a world where logic rules and faith is your own. I know they have a ways to go, but its a start when an opposing religious sect doesn't get killed for honoring their dead in public.
