Shiites are not a hive mind controlled by Iran. If you actually knew a damn thing about the political situation in Bahrain, like the article author does, you would know that the Shiites of Bahrain do not see eye to eye with the Iranians on many issues.
I don't think I can buy this. While the Arab world has some cultural problems in addition to its deep political ones, its problems cannot be boiled down to religious supremecism. Earlier in your article itself, you mentioned Iran as a model for at least Olympic success, despite religious supremecism being enshrined in its very government. You ignore the large number of non-Sunni Arabs such as myself. This article is a crude mess of oversimplification and an aberration to the excellent analysis that is usually found on this blog.
