sectarian means nonreligious ?

no sprint - you are probably thinking of secular
I must confess gandalf, it is unusual to hear a moslem referring to Sunnis and Shiites as
secular groups.
gandalf,
Would you like to revise your description of Sunnis and Shiites as NOT being 'religious' people/groups ?

Bahrain was a sectarian protest - a long oppressed shiite majority rising up against the sunni monarchy. The royals were saved by Saudi tanks, and the shiite oppression continues to this day. The west was guilty only of being deafeningly silent over the Saudi and Bahraini atrocities, while screaming blue murder at the autocrats in Libya and Syria.
Ah!!!!! .....i see my error!!!
Sunnis and Shiites are moslem, after all!!!

So it is a 'sectarian' conflict.
Peace, bros!!!!!
The peace of ISLAM', that is!
