shia was created by iranians.after arab invasion to persia and destroying thier civilization iranians loved islam but they couldnt get along with arabs ruling them.so they statrted following mohammad's grand children (which they all got killed by sonny caliphats).for hundreds of years sonnys would kill shia every where & for no reason until iranians got their independence back from arabs.

Sunni
The Sunni are the largest group in Islam. In Arabic, as-Sunnah literally means principle or path. Sunnis and Shi'a believe that Muhammad is a perfect example to follow, and that they must imitate the words and acts of Muhammad as accurately as possible. Because of this reason, the sunnah(practices which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) established in the community) is described as a main pillar of Sunni doctrine, with the place of hadith having been argued by scholars as part of the sunnah.
Sunnis recognize four major legal traditions (madhhabs): Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanafi, and Hanbali. All four accept the validity of the others and Muslims choose any one that he/she finds agreeable to his/her ideas. There are also several orthodox theological or philosophical traditions (kalam).

Shi'a

A view of the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, a holy site in IslamShi'a Muslims, the second-largest branch, differ from the Sunni in rejecting the authority of the first three caliphs. They honor different accounts of Muhammad (hadith) and have their own legal traditions. Shi'a scholars have a larger authority than Sunni scholars and have greater room for interpretation. The concept of Imamah (leadership) plays a central role in Shi'a doctrine. Shi'a Muslims hold that leadership should not be passed down through a democratic system such as the caliphate, but rather, descendants of Muhammad should be given this right as Imams.

It deals with form of government. i cant get into the details since i don't know. But I've spoken to many Muslims before who've told me that one denomination believes that it should be lead by monarchy style and the other believes in something more along the lines of the catholic church in terms of leadership that would allow a hierarchy to be established by devotion to the 'mosque' .

FYI...that's Sh'ia and Sunni.

That isn't about religion anymore but about power. Who's top dog? So to speak.

The United Kingdom had a similar problem with Catholics and Protestants.
