Okay Syria is in the middle of a 21 month long Civil War.  Tens of thousands have been killed, many more have been injured while hundreds of thousands have fled.

Gee, ya think?  Given that this is basically a Sunni vs. Shi'ite War (With Christians and other staying the hell out of it), I don't think "sectarian tensions" could get any more "raw".
