I'm not all too knowledgable on Middle Eastern affairs, though here's what I see wrong with the map:
-It won't really solve conflict, with the West Bank's status still as 'undetermined' it's just asking for trouble.
-It would probably be better to let the 'Islamic Sacred State' only control Mecca and Medina, kind of like the Vatican today. If you give them a significant amount of territory the nation would just become another fudamentalist haven.
-There may be some reason I don't know, but why not join Sunni Iraq with Syria?
-A Pakistan that small may cause India to try to be more aggressive in the next India-Pakistan conflict.
-I'd feel sorry for Kuwait if that Arab Shia state decides it doesn't like it.
-This could actually make some problems worse. If you redraw the borders so that a single ethnic group controls the country, a situation could easily arise where the minority groups of the area would be oppressed.
