Saudi Arabia, Jordan and the Gulf States are something like 90% Sunni, in contrast to Iran, which is something like 90% Shi'a. (As is Palestine).

Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon all share the unfortunate fate of a far evener division between the two.

Just one more example of the British penchant for drawing straight lines causing generations of bloodshed and sorrow.
