I can't help thinking that the execution of Al Nimr was a mistake.
They didn't have to do it. They really didn't.
In the first place there's a significant minority of Shia throughout the Arabian peninsula, and they're even the majority in some of the Gulf States that are ruled by Sunni royalty.
They've been agitating for civil rights for ages, now.
In addition to being a prominent Shia cleric, Al Nimr was also an agitator during the outbreak of the Arab Spring.
