Well there are alot of sub sects in the Shi'a. But the main difference is political. And I dont believe there is really a "conflict" between the 2 sects. Afterall, we are not like the catholics and the protestants and the orthodox. |

well briefly,
after the death of Mohammad (mpbuh) there were many khalifas, successors, the first one was Abu Bakir, Mohammad's best friend and the first person to enter heaven after mohammad as believed,
the sunnis have no conflict with this, but the shiates argue that Ali, Mohammad's cousin and son in low, should have been the first khalifa.....so by time conflicts grew between the sunnies and shiates!
this is the main and basic conflict, there are many but i don't think that it is s good place to show who is right who is not! |

I have talked this earlier in a different thread...
I wrote:
Quote: It’s a political aggression in Iraq beside some religious conflicts. There was not such collide before the 50 years. Another thread of this kind you could see when they were separated. They don’t have any conflict on basics of Islam.
Shiites claim are about the sorting of Quran, nomination of the second and third caliphates Omer and Ottoman. Another they claim is that the source of knowledge of Mohammad is only the family of Mohammad (PBUH.)
Here in Indopak, Shiite and Sunni have been living too peacefully to mix their believes. I’m one of the mixers those call themselves Sunni but accept (and give priority to) the authority of the family of Mohammad (PBUH.)
You would not find any history of this kind of collision between them but only the remaining times… While you’ll see so many other new things in future that’s I’m afraid of…
A miner conflict appeared in the last decade here in Pakistan. After condemning it from all of the schools of thoughts it no longer could exist.
Anyway an external hand had been involved that's in records.... |

...which was instigated by the U.S. coalition.
Keep the politics out of this thread. We're talking about religious differences. |

| That's going to be pretty hard to do when you are dealing with two theocratic cultural units. |

Why do you sort human being by cultures... Europe have always been deviding the world... sometimes in the name of races and some in the name of language and now you appears to devide in the name of cultures.
Our blood is still redish... |
