Bitter Rivals: Iran and Saudi Arabia, Part One (full documentary) | FRONTLINE 

Stable? What county is that?

singapore

@@enrique7919 i get what you mean. but in comparison we can say some of the countries are stable than others

WOW!! Absolutely right! What a documentary...

This makes the Jan 6 Capitol Attack look like Disneyland.

it's mostly these peaceful countries or rather some or the other ignorant, illread and uninformed leader of a so called peaceful country who is greedy for power who has created the mess...

Mainly because of the US and UK's meddling and making alliances to gain their own interests

Exactly

Yes

Dont let anyone in the middle east fool ypu and blame America for all their problems. They had the same islamic problems before America, they lived in a sh.thole and will continue to...

No there are not. Lots of Americans are brainwashed zombies and completely under the spell of lying politicians and the fake news

Even the Americans hate their government.

You’re ignorant.

Yeah a lot of people don’t want truth but someone telling them they are right. “It's Easier to Fool People Than It Is to Convince Them That They Have Been Fooled.” - Mark Twain.

It's a shit comment section though, people just praise the documentary, instead of discussing.

😂😂😂

@@nebunezz_r u know, u r right. Anything in particular you want to point out? Now, for clarification purposes, I am not Muslim, I live in the states and my opinions are not political or biased to either side of the coin. With this said, who do you think is most responsible for “Iran VS Saudi Arabia? Anyone, please join in! 🥸

❤ it sounds like he passed his thirst for knowledge on to you. I’m very sorry that you did not get to have discussions with him about it. I know for many it feels as if just as we are beginning to appreciate our parents for their traits and experiences, they are gone. Thank you for sharing with us.

@@hannahbeanies8855 Thank you!

It certainly does not get talked about enough, the heart of Islamism in the Africas and how they have a profound effect (very invisible to those that for whatever reason separate Africa, Islam, and Arabia) on the Arab world at large, and a diverse history. I'm an American born in Alabama with a rich West African history. In doing research on Yorùbá culture in Nigeria, I found out that Queen Sheba, Bilikisu Sungbo (she is the famed Bilqis in the Quran), who was a wife of King Solomon, is ethnically Yorùbá, and she has a tomb in Oke-Eri in Ijebu, Nigeria. She is not Arab and she was not Muslim (she was a "Sun Worshipper" who did accept Allah as God), so that makes her marriage to Solomon so very interesting.

Really? It is biased in favour of islamic repression. The Shah is portrayed as a monster and Khomeini as a great democratic leader.

@@cryador Anything from PBS or NPR is anti-Western, just crap we taxpayers fund

I consider myself to be kind of smart and I care a lot about learning but after 2 hours of this I still can't barely understand half of anything

@@ricky5369 - a person that states they are smart is usually the least intelligent person in the room... Jus sayin.

@@ricky5369 It is simple, everything in that region is religion-based, one religion that it, Islam, because Islam to them is politics, influence, security, and most important of all, money.

Thank you!!!

thank you

Thanks bud.

Thank you friend!

I agree with you 💯 This was a truly comprehensive and impartial journalistic work.

They good if you smart enough to read through their leftist spin bias to see through all that to the truth

​@@suleimanali1635impartial and PBS?? Hahahahaha i call that an oxymoron

I think this one is very balanced. I can't speak for the whole of their output, tho.

@suleimanali1635 fair enough, especially if you have experience and knowledge of this issue. I agree this documentary was good. Frontline did a good one on North Korea a few years back. They do have a massive leftist bias though. The smart person can see through that. The weak minded though is easily influenced and manipulated. PBS is paid by the taxpayer right? They shouldn't have any bias and be neutral. Just report the story as is. That would be refreshing but non biased journalism hasn't existed in decades

Agree with Yusuf. Also, the majority of people watching this are here for the knowledge and are probably open to discussion and they encourage diversity of thought!

That's a good thing

ehhhh

@@richierich2534 ok, bernie.

This doc was sponsored by the Ford foundation; you must be kidding yourself if you really believe that it was impartial...

There is nothing from PBS that is impartial. The biases may be hard to recognize but they are definitely there.

It would have been better if will laymen was Narrator

@Jor Daz How so?

Yeah PBS quit being pro Zionists

Hahaaha.. I was thinking the same way. The Israeli might came and check up on them and provide sense of dominance with their Tank. lmao. They got clapped

They didn’t even throw an “allegedly”. That was blatant case of self-censoring.

It illustrates the futility of stupid religion more than anything else.

@@almostafa4725 No, the religionists are the ones that are stupid. They use cel phones, even though that tech came from science. No god invented the cel phone, man did, men who stayed away from your fairy tales. Religion is a curse on man.

@@JBabi2u and that was the biggest mistake America ever did.

@@Reid-bu7iv 😩😂🤣🤣💀

For those who cannot understand sarcasm, this is one.

and even more lucky is we don't have a political figure who people support unwaveringly and look at as chosen by god phew

Quite exactly! When you hear debates about identity politics, people fail to see that the concept of nation, creed, ideology, etc. have all been used to garner political power, not just schisms in religion. The root cause of conflict stems from the want of power. "Man is born free, and he is everywhere in chains". I have to see that Islam is a lot more oppressive when it comes to freeing oneself from illusions.

@@TejasM14 you're hopelessly enslaved, Islam has nothing to do with this conflict

@@almostafa4725 he didn't even mention Islam. It was just great sarcasm and a problem that many if not most societies have. Ironic you're another zealot who misses the point, which is the point.

Me too, I feel like I understand so much better now.

Even our country was affect by US & Soviet proxies.

@@tag180rotax that’s different one of them is Jewish and the other Is Muslim but in the case of Iran and Saudi Arabia they are both Muslim country’s with different steps to achieve the same result

​@@n9583 not Actually most of Iran is not Muslim

@@n9583 Tawheed and Shirk are two opposite ends of the spectrum. How can they unite?

Very complex region that Historians spend their whole life trying to understand. Drives me crazy how so many listen to their favorite ideologue and behave like experts.

I want to say thank you to everyone who watched this video with an open mind and an intention to learn and be better informed. Islam is a very maligned and misunderstood religion and it can be very difficult to differentiate between religion, cultural traditions, and politics.

xDD

Lol Me Too! 😂

you may then have to go to the 7th century and make one single man vanish

@@user-ip6sn1nb5y Lol, it's not Muhammad that was the problem, but external sources encourage and funding hate on both sides, of the Fraternal Order persuasion. Who created Saudi Arabia? England. Who propped up a dictator that fueled the want for revolution in Iran? The US. Who was a CIA agent since the late 50's? Saddam Hussein. US and UK backed Iraq during the Iran Iraq war, and gave him precursor chemicals and the how-to for chemical weapons. The US even shot down a civilian airliner, claiming it was an accident, but it helped to break Iran's resolve (they didn't want to risk their citizens, and the also didn't use chemical weapons against Iraq after they were gassed). The US and UK didn't step in until the oil ships started getting destroyed, out of fear Saudi Arabia (they're oil baby) might get hit next. The USSR helped the US/UK defend the oil ships, the same Soviet leader (Gorbachev) that was given a decommissioned US military base, the Presidio, to start his "Pro-Democracy Foundation", back in '94. Side note, "Democracy is indispensable to Socialism" Lenin, and "Socialism leads to Communism" Marx. Gulf War was a UN war, the US just lead the coalition. Were did most of the supposed 9/11 hijackers and their mastermind come from? Saudi Arabia. Same place Osama Sr came from, the one making a business deal with one of Bush's companies on the day of 9/11.Bush Jr. and Sr. are both Skull and Bones members, and Bush Sr. was Reagans CIA director, imagine that. If not Islam, then another regional religious identity becomes the vs for the other two faiths to fight against, jeered and funded by those that don't hold to any of the beliefs. The Fraternities of Europe and America learned their craft through contact with established Middle Eastern Fraternities, such as the Roshanians or the Hashashins (were we get "hash" and "assassins" from, due to the heavy use of hash in the rituals, and the deadly nature of their ways, killing swiftly and unexpectedly, often posing as stranded or wayward travelers). Before they existed, there were Fraternities or Societies in Babylon (Iraq), and before them, Egypt, who claim they learned their ways from the Atlanteans of Atlantis. Divide and conquer has and will go on till humans cease to be a reality.

I thought you are a "representative democracy" . A" leader of the Free world" Are you admitting that Democracy has failed in America? That the American system doesn't represent the will of the people?😲

Rubbish between the Elites, the Christian Fundamentalists and the American Exceptionalists, the majority of Americans directly support US intervention that bring nothing but murder and suffering to the world. The rest of Americans are guilty too, for going alone with it.

@@sisyphusvasilias3943 you’re wrong. we don’t go along with them. our government controls everything. we have no say in anything, no matter how much you hear “the land of the free”. we’re not really free. anyone who tries to stand and speak up can get killed, just like our police kill those they’ve sworn to protect. our news agencies post propaganda that tries to brain wash us, all while our government makes it to where you can’t survive unless you’re working 24/7 while our government answers for nothing. We don’t want war with other countries, nor do we want to be the police of the world. We don’t want any of it but there’s nothing we can really do. We are all controlled. We love other countries & wish things were different. We really do care about what other people are going through around the world & we have more than than others think. We are not our government or our governments decisions and I hope other countries realize that one day.

@@morgangaskin3072 You're right about your conditions and how the financial/MIC Elites oppress the rest of the country. You're just not as powerless as you say. Your Government expects violence and hostile demonstrations and will meet these with their own immense violence and surviellance. But they are incredibly vulnerable to non participation revolts. REfuse to provide their essential services and they will wither and die. But there is still enough scraps available to the 99% that most people are more worried about holding onto what they have than holding a corrupt elite to account. It will need to get worse before desperation drives a revolt. But the people are responsible for their Government. It's their responsibility to remove them if they are tyrants. I can point to a dozen countries where the people are standing up to oppressive elites. Americans will have to find the courage to overthrow an entrenched elite. While overcoming the manufactured social divisions the elites have fabricated. Or they will have to learn to live on their knees. For it is clear that USA's ruling class are set on introducing a neo-fuedalism dual class society. Ruling Oligarchs living in luxurious Reservations and the rest, without property or power, dependent of handouts.

Only possible from tax dollars 😁

Too busy making up news.

No ,they are very narrow minded.

well those are entertainment & drama channels like indian StarPlus

They are fake news

Socialists say the same thing about America. (socialists that line up to immigrate to the U.S.) Don't believe any of these hypocrites. Believe me!

They know we have no say in the matter, they saw Eisenhower's speech too, bizzarrely after Eisenhower's administration oversaw several overthrows of other countries. They know our corporate-owned government doesn't care about us either.

Americans don't do the same. They hate the government and the people, especially the people. There is no distinction, just look at the idiot comment above me.

they know our media and politicians lie to us. most leaders lie to their citizens. its as simple as parents telling their kids to be good because santa claus sees when we are naughty and nice. the lies make us behave how the leaders want us to

@@solgato5186 Perhaps you view the situation differently as a sitting president. And maybe he only realized that the inflating military industrial complex was becoming just that at the end of his 2 terms. It had some time to inflate after WW2. Plus, to him all that overthrowing was merely resisting the Soviet threat which was always the focus. Overthrow before the Soviets overthrow with a communist revolution.
