Angry and Ignorant

The angry professor in California says, without elaborating: "the two people most responsible for sectarian conflict in the Middle East are the Saudi King and the Grand (not at all) Ayatullah, Sistani."

I've written a lot about Sistani and quoted him many times on my blog, and while I disagree with his fundamentalist views, especially with regard to his views on homosexuality, I do not understand how Sistani has been responsible for sectarian conflict in the Middle East. Sistani has repeatedly appealed for unity and peace between Sunni Arabs and Shia.
