Shi'a-Sunni sectarianism! What next?

Image:Benazir Bhutto.jpg Wikipedia has always had its fair share of disputes. The issues surrounding debates like creationism-evolutionism had been a source of many edit wars. But recently enough, the ball-of-chaos had landed in our very own court. Pakistani issues are now polluted with a new sectarianism, especially the biographical articles celebrating some of the most influential people in Pakistani politics. These edit wars annoyed administrators who [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk%3ANotice_board_for_Pakistan-related_topics&diff=210900606&oldid=210874706 had no idea how the problems should be dealt with]. Instances of religious inclination (either Shi'a Islam or Sunni Islam) were changed from one or the other. Debates have kicked off on the WP Pakistan talk page. Recently enough, a new policy has come into discussion (actually, it's just a set of rules) that defines major guidlines for such issues. It now awaits votes from all Pakistani editors.
