#2 "...the conflict between Iran and Saudi Arabia has little to do with dogma..."

VOX describes its work as explanatory journalism but on this issue they are woefully ignorant of the sectarian history of the region. Until the 16th century Persia was Sunni but a ruler at the time converted the country to Shia by force. Saudi Arabia is a relatively modern country that was created out of the ruins of the Ottoman Empire but which has been predominantly Sunni the whole time (btw, Egypt was mostly Shia until the 13th century when it was converted to Sunnism by the sword).

#4 I thought they feared Evangelical Christians more than anything else. Oh well, they fall to #2 or #3.
