"Sunnis flock to Syria and Iraq to wage Jihad against Shia."
This is an appalling distortion of the situation in Syria
Vlunteers cross the border into Syria to oppose Assad simply because the U.N. and the rest of the world has stood by and watch him slaughtering his own people - Britain's role has been to oppose intervention and sell Assad the wherewithal to make chemical weapons and riot control equipment to quell opposition.
It has nothing to do with religion - it is a continuation of the Arab Spring protests.
