Do different sects of muslims kill each other for secular reasons like the Catholics and Protestants in Ireland? Or are they killing each other for religious reasons?

I don't think that there are a lot of diffrences between shiaas and sunnies. all muslims believe in one Allah and they all believe in Mohammad. they just are disagree about some unimportant problems. e.g shiaas believe that Ali is the first khalife and sunnies believe that he is the fourth. on the whole i mean that the reason that they are killing is not religious. the reason is "power". each group want to achieve the power and this religious reason is just an excuse to justify their desire for power.
Sorry for my english.

Salam :) I'm a Muslim teen residing in Canada. I put on hijab alhamdullilah and it is for essentially the most aspect authorised right here given that i reside in a large town with a immense Muslim populace. I do get the few ignorant feedback and idiots at college although who ask stuff like "yo acquired a bomb underneath there hahaha". But the toughest aspect is being unique out of your peers. Being a Muslim, events, alcohol relationship boys dressed in revealing apparel and many others is haram, and even as I do not desire to do this besides, it may be just a little awkward to have got to provide an explanation for why I do not do it to individuals who take into account it only a aspect of being a young person and its natural to them. Muslims residing in Muslim nations undoubtedly have it less complicated relating to becoming in. And with meals it may be just a little intricate however I consistently attempt to learn the label if I'm no longer definite of the elements. But I would not wanna be another faith regardless of how tricky it will get and the way unique I think from each person else, I'm joyful to be Muslim :)

It goes back to the Caliphate, i.e. the Pope-like figure who succeeded Mohammed, peace be unto him. The Sunnis and Shi'ites differ in who should have been the leader after the Prophet. The Shi'ites think it should've been Mohammed's son, the Sunnis think it should've been an elected positon. I think they are using religious difference as a pretext but it is basically a power struggle. I hope that helps.

Most of them don't kill each other. Some small political group kill to get attention or make some political statement. it's not for religious reasons.

For whatever reason they kill each other for it is a good thing for none Muslims. Because, them uniting and fighting the none Muslims would even be more devastating.

well their shud be no sects in islam .. as Allah almigthy . strongly disobeys the forming of sects n groups which r agiasnt one another ..like shiattes n sunnis .. u shud know ur slef as a muslims .. nort litk sunni or shia ..but basiclly the concept of shia's is not correct ..so they r not muslims .. truely .. they give more imp to hazrat Ali than prophet muhmmad ... n just observe sum stupid traditions that r banned in islam ....
n tlakin abt the fights b/w the sects of islam ... they really dont fight that much .. but tlakin abt the bombs in the msques of shias ... they r put by the agents of gov .. just to protray muslims as they have no unity .. or watever !!!!!
in islam allah has forbidden the formation of diff sects ".. hold the rope of Allah strongly .. n donot get differentiated into diff sects "...
as UNITY IS STRENGTH .. the present state of muslims ummah is dure to no unity in the muslims ..

It goes back over 1300 years, It started just after Mohammed's death.
The circumstances are different but the concept is much like the great schism of the Catholic church.

Political reasons over power. This is only happening in Iraq after the U.S invasion.

I'm not a Muslim, I'm atheist, but you know and I know they do.
I'll be interested to read your replies from Muslims, wouldnt it be a nice suprise to get some honest straight answers, without quotes from 'Holy' books?
Good luck in your search!!
