In Iraq why do Shiites hate Sunnis so much and vice versa?

Question

I am having a hard time understanding this.

Answer 1

Sunni and Shia hatred is based on fabricated stories which started after his death. The main argument was who is the real successor of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to rule the Islamic state. The history of that period is not correct which is teling us that there was rivalary between Abu Bakr, Omar Farouq, Ottoman and Ali who all were the the cadidates for the position of head of Islamic state. When analyze the history with the message of Qur'an it become clear that there was no rivalary between all four of the candidates.

These differences were flamed 150 years after Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) death with the introduction of Hadiths which are similar to Talmud written mostly by Persian Imams of both Sunni and Shias which makes the division permenant.

So which faction is the correct version of true Islam? Both are wrong. They divided the religion into sects which is very clearly prohibited by God in Qur'an.

I guess this will make you understand the differences of Sunnis and Shias who live their lives to prove each other wrong.

Answer 2

B/c many years ago, after Muhammed died, the founder of Islam, there was a big argument about who should be the next messenger from "Allah".

The two sides disagreed on who it should be and so they seperated. It all came to a major head later on when some Sunni fighters went and attacked and killed the Shiite leader.

And to this day they hate each other and still disagree on who is the true Islamic messenger from that "Allah" dude.

Answer 3

The Shiites hate the Sunnis because they were in power when Saddam had control of the country and the Sunnis hate the Shiites because they are in power now and are saying screw the Sunnis.

Answer 4

Shi-Ites hate Sunnis via fact under Sunni rule Shi-Ites have been oppressed and severely punished (dying) particularly via huge Shi-Ite majority. Thats how they have been saved in examine under Sadaam,a Sunni. Now that we've became the tables and positioned the Shi-Ites in value,they're exacting retribution against the Sunnis with dying squads.they have an important difference that got here approximately after the dying of the Prophet Mohamed.

Answer 5

it all goes back a long way in history, to 661,, to the martyrdom of Husayn,, 680 at Karbala (Iraq),, , Shiites (party of Ali) 2nd largest branch of Islam,, 10-15% of Muslims,,,, originally,, a political movement,,, opposing central government,,, divided into factions,,,the majority are Twelve-Imam (Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Saudi-Arabia, Bahrain, India, and Pakistan),, Ismailis,,,(India, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen),,, and Zaydis (Yemen),,, in Iran, the Safavid,,, a Shiite state religion,,,,

Sunnis,,, the majority of Muslims,,, (Allah,,, and the Qur'an)

In Islam, jihad is a holy war, ordained by God, one of 2 types is- struggle against religious or political oppression, the 2nd is the soul's struggle with evil,moderates are at war with regime, not innocent people,,,
radical Islamic fundamentalists assume a war without constraints.....

this is a condensed version of the 2

Answer 6

I'm just glad with all the different groups we have in this country we don't carry the hatred as far as they do.

But then we have Democrats and Republicans. *LOL* If they get much worse they will probably start shooting each other. I wonder if that will get Democrats to change their stance on gun control.

Answer 7

Religious differences going back 1300 years when Islam was created.

Answer 8

They're both sects of Muslims and throughout history everybody has had to have someone to hate. Since they both occupy the same country, its convenient. And isn't it better they're killing each off rather than killing our troops?

Answer 9

I think these people are so full of hate that they hate everyone. This is all they know. Pitiful, isn't it.

Answer 10
