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

The answer you are looking for is that :
Sunni believe in the message of prophet Mohamed and there is only one God.
Shia is the same believe only that Ali the prophet Mohamed Cousin
should have been placed as the leader of the Muslim nation after the Death of Mohamed, and he was not, as leadership is given to the wise and knowledgeable of the Quran.

Like Catholics and Protestant Christians.......sorta.
Shias focus more on the people directly related to Muhammad, like his son in law or anyone blood related to him, because they think that if they are related to Muhammad, their teachings must have a stronger meaning.
While Sunni don't really care. Related or not related to Muhammad, doesn't matter as long as the hadith is strong.
