They both stay with the aid of Islam, yet Iran is Shiite. the in hardship-free words way i can clarify this they supposedly stay from the Qur'an (koran). yet they are sects, similar too a number of our faith must be like the Baptist and Methodist, we ought to believe a touch diverse yet below an same God. They shiite and sunni Muslims are combating for who're the astonishing sect to rule Islam. Islam isn't a non violent faith it is chaotic and misery. In essences they kill one yet another, their own human beings, because truly they are at a loss for words.

Basically they all believe that only theirs is the one true religion, unfortunately many of the different sects also regard Christians and Jews as infidels rather than believers of the Old (or New) Testament, and some believe that there is coming a final battle of Armageddon that will pit true Muslims against Jews and Christians. This is why the more radical Islamists consider it positive to kill Christians, Jews, Agnostics and anyone else not of their faith (to include some other Muslim Sects) through acts of terror.

Check the most recent special issue of Time magazine. They speak just about that. If I´m not mistaken, Sunni and shíite hate each other almost as much as they hate westerners, but the shiítes are more global in their efforts (Al-Qaeda is Shiíte) while Hamas and Hezbollah are more local (they want Israel out of the picture), even if their reach is global. Hezbollah was born to defend Lebanon from Israelis in the early 80´s. They don´t really much care about westerners. Bush is mixing everything up... as usual.

Sunni follow sunnah of the prophet, hence the name. shia follow their own desires. Shia slander the companions of the Prophet, his wives, his family and especially 'Alee. They differ in severity. The raafidah of iran are the most extreme, and are not considered muslims if they are not completely ignorant. They are named so because they rejected zayd as their imam, a descendant of the Prophet, for defending the honour of Abu Bakr and Umar. Some worship 'Alee like christians worship Jesus as God incarnate. They invited Husayn to defend them and then abandoned him and left him to be slaughtered. Husayn cursed them for their cowardice.

the sunni and the shiites are two different groups who believe in the same things in two different ways. they kill us because we are interferring with them. they have never gotten along with each other. look in the history books. they go far back....way far. i learned about them in my world history class. they are like one of the biggest rivals.
