Sunni's
In Islam all over the world They agree about the oneness of God They follow the same book - Quran(same words and letters all over the world). They follow the same prophet Muhammad . offer their prayers five time a day. fast in the month of Ramadan.Give charity (Zakat) which is the poor-due on the wealth of the rich go for hajj, pilgrimage to Mecca ...but they may have differnt opinions not on the basics
Those who follow some sayings and views of Ali (one of the early muslims leaders), as the rightful successor to Prophet Muhammad , are called Shia. Shia means a partisan (party of Ali) and it started more as a political party to help Ali in his conflict with his political adversaries.
About 90% of Muslims are Sunni, the word Sunni is based on the word Sunnah which is an Arabic word means the Prophet's Doctrine. Sunnis believe in (GOD) as the One Creator and Mohammad is His last and final Messenger.
but you have to know that the sects in islam not like the sects in other religions in other religions1- they can change in their books for example the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only 66 in Islam no one can change any thing There is not even one word of difference between two Arabic Qur'ans, anywhere in the world. There has been no disagreements in history among Muslims as to what should and should not be in the Qur'an
The Sunnah or Hadith consists of the teachings, sayings, and actions of Prophet Muhammad. This information was meticulously reported and collected by his Companions. It is essentially an elaboration of the Qur'anic verses that shows how they are to be implemented in one's daily life ALLthe true muslims agree about that

Its the same religion, thats like what the difference between protestant and catholic. Sunnis are pretty much catholic, shiites are protestant, they believe they should follow mohammeds blood relative because he/she may have the power to speak with god, while sunnis believe in just god and mohammed was just a messenger.
Oh and for the christian folk, we believe in jesus as our savior, so i dont understand whats with the hate here.
Islam was created because people thought their sins were actually taken away when jesus died. Actually jesus never died, just taken to heaven nothing less nothing more, the man you think is jesus is some sap who got famous for looking like him.
Muslims especially believe in the coming return of jesus not mohammed (peace be upon him).

Muhammed(PBUH*) ordered his followers to not divide themselves into sects because then they would be divided like the Jews and Christians. He wanted the Muslims to remain Muslims so they would be strong. So neither sect is correct.

As long as the core of the religion is applied, theyre both in the right path.
God is One and Muhammad is His last prophet.

Neither. THe Quran says there is to be no division and for them to be fighting over which section of that division is a sin in itself. They are killing their own muslim brethren. True muslims will tell you the same thing. So, whoever is fighting about it is going to hell for causing trouble and dividing the people.
