"I fail to see the logic that having a wife changes the basics of ones faith and culture.
Another unfounded slur?" -- I do not get this. Are you saying I am slurring? And the wife deal...I do not get that either. My understanding of the difference between Shia and Sunni is here, http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AgDdABc2oy_gcbdUD3Ue6g7sy6IX?qid=20060818141243AAWTXHf

Shia and Sunni are Both Islam the main difference between them is pure politic..
Shia believes that Khalifa must be from the family of the prophet..and consider that they must have an Emam who will lead the nation till the (Al mahdi ) who is the last member of the prophet's family will back and fight evil..
Sunni consider the prophet was a messenger but not a khalifa..and they don't accept that the nation must be lead like it's a kingdom...they say that the prophet told them to work with ((Shoora)) which is a similar way for election...
anyway both of them couldn't achieve what they believe cause finally their believes were always used by the leaders to achieve what they want and then they get rid of them...
-------------
The clash between Sunni and shia never happened ..the fact is the clash was not between shia and Sunni ...it was always between to political characters who use the shia or the Sunni to support them.....
--------
as an answer to your question..
While the Islamic world (both shia and Sunni is targeted by Zionist and Israel ) there will be no fight between them..and if some few battles happened it's just because of some USA military action..when he bomb Sunni areas to make the Sunni hate the shia...
--
Biggest example is when Israel bombed Lebanon and Hezbollah freedom fighters stand to defend Lebanon ( since Hezbollah is a shia ) but that didn't stop the Arabic people (90% Sunni ) to support Hasan naser allah...even the Arabic Christians during war raised the Hezbollah flags as a sign of their support...

Interesting question. But I fail to see the logic that having a wife changes the basics of ones faith and culture.
Another unfounded slur?
I don't see a muslim name making a reply. I will be checking back to see more answers.

I am sure there is.
Remember a shia's a shia till he gets a wife, but a sunni's a sunni for all of his life.
No really, I am sure there is the same feeling, they just don't blow each other up here...wait for it to start if they become a majority.

I haven't met a Shia in the US, but the Sunni people I've met are nice family oriented people, who own their own business and lead quiet lives.
Peace

I doubt it, unless we have the same covert op agent death squads going around here to motivate same hate
amazing isn't it?
You tell us what to write, we'll publish it! Good ole USA just gobbles it up
amazing how troop levels rose again after we almost began to draw down based on recent increased mysterious sectarian violence
I'm not so sure Americans could do that to self save the abortion clinic bombers of the fundies that quickly quieted down when bombing became associated with terroism not sponsored by their god for hate and death

No, because people who come here are from good backgrounds and are educated people who dont have time for childish behaviours.
