Internal strife will cause one to lose a war - more than the forces from external threat.
It will tear everyone apart.

Sunnis and Shiites struggle for power is so apparent for everyone to see - where the whole Middle East is boiling in conflict and bloodshed.

One stick can be easily snap into 2.

A bunch of stick when tie together - cannot be broken even by a muscleman.

Unity is strength.

Internal strife will cause everything to fall apart - and this is what IS want and will exploit.

Sect of different races, religions - unable to live together in harmony and peace - will be catastrophe bound - where one group will try to destroy another group and the other group will retaliate - and conflict, bloodshed will follow ---- and those who suffer are the innocents.

It is what is inherent in the Heart and Mind of Human beings and how it manifest.

Does Human manifest its dark side:-
(1) Ignorance, Ego, Power of influence, Domination, Self-Centredness
(2) Hatred of others, Exclusiveness, Intolerance of others.
(3) Greed, greed for power, greed for wealth, land, money

Or Does Human manifest its good side:-
(1) Win-Win, coexistence with others in harmony and peace, I am ok, You are ok
(2) Compassion, kindness
(3) Wisdom in sharing wealth, power, influence, coexistence

Human manifesting its dark side - is self-destruction and destruction of others - Hell-bound.

Human manifesting its good side - will come with peace, harmony, prosperity - Paradise-bound.
