Shia vs. Sunni?

Question

A Muslim explained it this way:

"why are the shiahs killing the sunnis?!!!! they're both killing each other TODAY over who gets to be in charge of Iraq!!!!!!! they are fighting over Political control and NOT because of religion.
the Iraqis have been living under such a weired climate for so long. and they just don't get along so every sect THINKS that they are more capable of running the government.
Shiahs made an alliance with the US Army and therefore Sunnis consider them traitors..
it's a CIVIL WAR!! even the US had one of those. "

So it's a religious war now between the one Islam...the ONE Islam. Hmmmm

Answer 1

That's why the U.S should get the hell out and let them kill each other. But if we do, then Iran will have a whole 'nother country.

This is just like post autocratic russia in many ways. IT surprises me about the brutality of it all, though. MOst places in history after the advent of guns favored executions. The sectarian violence prefers overt torture and butcher-knife beheadings. Imagine how bad it would have been if the U.S. WASN"T there!

Answer 2

Where do you get this idea of One Islam? The Holy Prophet (pbuh) said during his lifetime that Islam will splinter into 73 sects... only the one that follows the Holy Qur'an and His Traditions will be rightly guided. You are obviously observers one of the other 72 that are not rightly guided.

By the way, he also said the Jews will be split into 71 groups and the Christians will be split into 72.

Only God is One... not people or religions.

Answer 3

Ofcourse, non of this would have happened if the Crusaders didn't do their evil and satanic acts in Iraq, it was the original plan to steal oil, start a civil war and divide Iraq so it would be weak and the jews can live happily ever after.

Answer 4

1.It does not matter you are sunni or shia it is important that you are muslim or at least a good person
2.Shia in arabic means party (like political party). Before the death of Muhammad people used to call the close friends of Ali (cousin of muhammad) Shia.
3.Right after the death of Muhammad while Ali were busy with funeral, Abu bakr and omar and 4 other sahaba were busy with who gets the power after muhammad!!! They all disregarded Muhammad saying that suggested Ali directly and indirectly as the leader of umma after his death. like Qadi Khomm or lots of other hadith,....
4.Omar killed Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad (wife of Ali) with a baby inside and unfortunately sunni scholars especially wahabbis do not like talking about this part of history and if you ask them why the tomb of Zahra is unknown they will become angry of you. This incident made shia very disapointed and sad.
5.Jamal war also were another story that Aiyasha and some sahaba went to war with Ali and after Ali defeated them, he respectfully returned Ayasha to medina/mecca
6.Karbala incident where Yazid killed Hussain were another sad historical point that shia wanted separate themselves from those who call themselves muslims and say Allah o Akbar but beheaded the grand son of Muhammad.
7.Shia love Ahlul bayt and shia is the enemy of the enemy of Ahlol bayt.
8. Yazid were son of Moavai and moavia were son of Abu sofian whose wife killed and eated the liver of Hamza in ohod war. Guess who put Moavia in shaam? Omar your second Khaliff. Guess who went to war with Ali in Seffain war? Moavia
