How many Sunni Muslims live in Bahrain?
Majority of bahrain are Shia Muslims and this country have been part of Iran and separated from Iran in recent years by Britain. Of the overall Bahraini population, roughly 23% of the country is Sunni Muslim, making them a total of roughly 240,000 individuals. However, the census does not specify whether Muslims are Sunni or Shiite, so the numbers are only estimate. It is believed that there are nearly twice the number of Shiite Muslims as there are Sunni Muslims and roughly 30% of the country is non-Muslim.
Which people look across their border to Iran because they share a common shiite Muslim?
Actually, there are a number of Muslim countries with large Shi'ite populations who look to Iran for help in their efforts to gain greater political influence: for example, in Lebanon and Syria, an Iranian-backed group called Hezbollah has been a dominant factor. But more likely, you are referring to the Shi'ite population in Iraq. Under Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Muslim, Shi'ites had far less influence, but this has been changing, and modern Iraq is still locked in a power struggle between Shia and Sunni Muslims. Additionally, Azerbaijanis look across their border with Iran both due to their common Shiite Islamic faith, but also because the southern half of Azerbaijan is part of Iran (and has been for centuries). Chechens may have looked for Iranian help in overthrowing Russian occupation, but since the area has cooled, this has not been an issue.

Nation of Islam is against the principles of Islam and the followers of them, cannot be termed as Muslim. However, Malcolm X, later converted himself into a Sunni Muslim. Muslim community is largely and importantly is believed to be divided into two communities - namely, Sunni and Shiite (Shia) sects. Nation of Islam is definitely not a category of Islam. They have borrowed certain elements from it, but cannot be termed as a Islamic religion. Whereas, Malcolm X, did died as a Sunni Muslim, so you can term him as a Muslim, only on the condition that he believed in the principles of Islam and of Sunni sect.
