Sunny and Shia- Muslim Sectarian War
The crisis in Middle East can take the shape of world war due to Terrorism involve therein. However if you go deep in the the causes of Middle East Crisis you will also come across the Civil War among Muslims i.e. Between Sunny and Shia.
There are Two big and powerful Countries in the Middle East i.e. Saudi Arabia and Iran. They are having the substantial storage of oil in their soil which makes them Rich and Powerful. However Saudi Arabia is Sunny dominated Muslim State while Iran is Shia dominated State. They try to support their own sect in the Muslim world. They even do not have shortage of men and money due to oil treasures.
Recently Saudi Arabia executed 50 people who were branded Terrorist and Enemy of the State. Among them one Shia Cleric Nimr Baqr Al- Nimr who was Shiast and who had protested against Sunny dominated Saudi Government. This has created change of reactions and Shia dominated State like Iran has protested Violently by setting fires the Saudi Embassy in Tehran and other places in Iran.It has increased the tension in the Middle East and Sunny dominated States like, Sudan, Yemen, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates and including Saudi Arabia have severed the diplomatic relations with Iran. It is a matter of concern for USA, China,and Russia as USA is the close allies of Saudi Arabia and Russia/ China are close to iran. It is conflict of interest among World powers.
It has also also affected the World Stock Market up to some extent with Oil Prices going up. This is also one of the factors wherein all World Powers will have to handle the Middle East Crisis on Collective Basis.
