They have an old dispute which dates back to the death of Muhammad and the question of succession to his hegemony of believers. The Shias supported the husband of Fatima, the only surviving child of Muhammad as the natural successor, but was vehemently and violently opposed by Abu Baqr and then Caliph, Omar. The latter brutally killed Ali and his two sons and an infant grand child. Since that day there is, almost, ceremonial killing of the Shiites by the Sunnies who are in majority in the Islamic community. It is a question of Human rights, now, and no longer confined to their stupid faith.

All of the mass killings going on in Iraq due to the Shias killing the Sunnis. Not the other way around. These killings have nothing to do with religion. Its all about political power.

on a similar time as that's real and there is not any denying that those factions are at each and each others throats and have been ever on condition that they began after the dying of the founding father of Islam. it is likewise real that Islam is a non violent faith. that's taught in a non violent way and the real followers are certainly non violent. the rationalization you have those rival sects is with the aid of politics, greed and potential. possibly if Iraq, Afghanistan and the different area of the middle east exchange into left properly on my own by utilising the west there does not be any bloodshed. I consider the 1st answer, that's real and to the element, those international locations at the instant are not ALLOWED to be left on my own to guidance, simply by fact the team spirit of those sects could pose vast hazard to the western international. So the west is going desirable into the middle of the place Islam exchange into preached and tries to wreck any info of peace and team spirit. if your question is extremely elementary then you relatively did not ought to basically direct it to the Muslims, for his or her are many christian factions additionally combating for precisely a similar reason. yet why ought to we talk approximately that once all this could proceed to be hidden and interest diverted and people's brains persevered to be brainwashed.

Sonna don't kill Shiea & vice versa because nothing in religion says this , Koran says that if Two muslims killed each other then both are in the Hell . But what happens really is due to ignorance & due to interference of Ocupaying governments & intelligences such as CIA, MOSAD etc...

because of the imperialist policies of the USA which escalated sectarian violence between shias and sunnies in Iraq. they adopted divide and rule policy. sectarian violence is not confined to Islam only it can be seen in other religions also. but the only exception is Buddhism though there are severe differences between Hinayana and Mahayana, there was not a single instance that those differences led to violence.

**PuRe**: where did U get this fact from? The fanatic Sunnis poured in from Syria, Saudi, Yemen (God know who else) after Saddam we toppled are planting explosive cars in the streets. Sometimes kill for fun & others plan killing Shia's in particular. We also have the Sunnis loyal to Saddam (who oppressed Shi'as) are the one targetting Shia's.
Some violent Shi'as kill back in retaliation.

shias believe in many phrophets, and respect them, while sunnis respect only mohammed. Sunnis kill shias due to such differences.
