		<description>Just to correct one of the posters above - the difference between Shias and Sunni may seem political in origins, but is as much doctorinal. One of the most important difference is the shiite belief in continuation of &#039;ijtehad&#039;, which allows interpretation and re-interpretation of religious law in modern times. The Sunnis too allowed this initially, but sometime during the Abbasid reign, and inspired by the skeptics such as Imam Ghazali - they closed the doors of rational interpretation.

Another doctrinal difference is the shiite belief in the institution of Imamate - the belief that the Imams were the rightly chosen successors and infalliables. Sunnis have similar reverence for the companions of the Prophet, but they don&#039;t consider them Infalliable.So unlike what one ignorant poster has said above - shias believe in following the teachings of Quran as well as the actions of the Prophet (and the Imams), unlike Sunnis - The second Caliph is said to have proclaimed that Quran was sufficient and he needed no other guidance.

Also - a very recent phenomenon is Wahabism. Wahabis consider themselves an offshoot of Sunni Islam, started merely 200 years back and all terrorist activities can be traced back to this virulent sect. So you would never find a shia or sunni engaging in terrorism, but wahabis (also known by some other names such as Ahle-Hadiths and Salafis)</description>

		<description>One time ago,I almost embrace Islam but when I watched Islamist terrorists (Al-Qeada &amp; Taliban)slaughterred Late Eugene Armstrong in cold-blooded,multilated bodies of other helpless and innocent victims including Pakistani&#039;s soldiers..I give up. These terrorists cited verses from the Quran before they cut their throats and decipated their bodies... I realised that it is not the RIGHT religion to choose. 
     Now I am VERY happy thatI am NOT a Muslim. Mr.Abd-allah, please do not tell lies or cover up by  saying that terrorists are NOT Muslims. They are real Muslims and I understand  most of them learned and studied the Quran much more better than you such as Osama Laden..and others.I believe they pray five times a day....They are the real killers in the Middle-East.... Bombed innocent children, elders and more...Some Imans and extremist Muslims declare ,&#039;if you kill the &#039;Kafirs&#039;(Non-Muslims) you can short-cut to Heaven without any question ask...and your graves will be filled with fragrance of good, pleasant smell of flowers automatically..... INSYA&#039;ALLAH&#039;. 

     To what I have observed till now, when they are more Muslims in one country, they tend to be turmoil or troubles in that country.... as if there are no blessings in those countries. May be Satan is more influencial than Angels....in these countries.

     When there are less Muslim in one country, they are really nice, good and caring people because their minds are more opened not like in Pakistan and Afghanistan. Telling you all these because of my long experience with Muslims.</description>

		<description>so, i think the shias are just blain stupid, seriously i wont even count them as real muslims, especially their relegious leaders, and also their actions that are totaly wrong, one example is them hitting them self for someone who have died earlier, i always ask my self, why dont they hit them self in the date muhamad died on? second example is that they do not follow the sharea, which is the guidance from muhamad&#039;s actions and his followers (sahaba), and another questions pops up, if they only learn islam from the quran, then where does it say that salaht athohr is 4 rakas? and just another example is the facts of them traveling to visits shrines other than the 3 allowed, seriously, muhamad said do not travel to any shrine other than the ones in maka, madina, and kods, but no they travel to all those imams and they go to their shrines for some reason!
any way i have a lot of things about their wrong actions but they are totaly to much for me to write and for you to read, hopefully they will wakeup one day and understand  some of their wronge actions, inshallah
and aslam 3la man itaba3a alhoda</description>

		<description>There either is or is not, a &quot;spiritual&quot; world, i.e. a world with beings greater than our level of evolution, (and usually, not readily perceivable).  These beings have to do with our world of matter as interactors and creators, guides or detractors.  If there is even one being of this nature then there is a real &quot;spiritual&quot; world.  If there are none, then there is no such world.  If there is no such world, all of our religions are science fiction.  If there is such a world, what are the chances that all of these gods, Allah, Christ, God, Shiva etc.etc. have their own little boxes or Kingdoms and are desperately trying to get us to join their own gang.  It is much more likely that there is a spiritual reality than that there isn&#039;t.  It is also likely that the essence of these creative spiritual forces  are pure and powerful in a way we can barely comprehend.  The force is probably like a color.  Perhaps Love is a beautiful rose-violet.  A clairvoyant, (a person who was lucky or developed enough to see into the spiritual world), would see this color whenever a human being loved.  It would have nothing to do with the gang they belonged to or what they thought in their intellect.  It would happen that when that person loved, forgave, encouraged or nourished the color of that action would be there.  When the person killed, lied, hurt or abused a different vibration or color would exist.  Repeated actions of one sort or another would cause the color or vibration to exist and come to live in that person no matter what they proclaimed to be on the outside.  If there is a spiritual world, no person on this earth has the luxury of &quot;atheism&quot;.  All humans worship one color or another with their everyday actions.  All humans are attracting themselves to or away from spirituals beings with every decision they make.  The possibility that the Christian&#039;s God and the Muslim&#039;s Allah are two totally different gods is non-existent unless their basic vibration or color is also totally different.  A God of love, dynamic and powerful enough to create this universe and sustain our hearts is the same God for all of humanity no matter what our limited intelligence gives as a name.  A God of violence, ruthless enough to ravage the innocent and destroy the hopes of the suffering is also the same God for all of humanity.  We align ourselves with these forces in a thousand ways every day.  When we pass over - the truth comes out.</description>

		<description>Q1-Do you think the Prophet (PBUH) would leave this world without entrusting Islam to some capable person? Was he not wise enough to nominate his successor to prevent disruption after his departure from this world? Were his followers Abu Bakr, Umar, Usman wiser in realizing that a successor should be elected even before his death?Why were four different methods adopted to install each of the Four Rightly Guided Khalifs? 
 
 Q2-Br. Zeeshan Asla,muttah was halal during the reign of Abu Bakr and half the reign of Umar, what authority did Umar have to declare muttah haram?</description>

No!!  We are not brothers , we are entirely different,

		<description>This was a good summary of the subject, and many of the comments were helpful, especially Nick&#039;s.  I would add one difference between Sunni and Shia:  the latter have a streak of messianism, awaiting the reappearance of the Mahdi, a revered past figure who disappeared centuries ago.  Shiaism also has more hierarchy and is confined to Southwest Asia, mostly Arabs and Persians (but not most Arabs), giving the lie to the ridiculous term &quot;Islamofascism&quot; as applied to Sunnis.  Fascism is nothing if not devoted to strong central authority in a monoethnic culture.  The only &quot;fascism&quot; at work among insurgents in Iraq, among them battle-hardened Chechens, resembles the &quot;leaderless resistance&quot;  of US white supremcists and gun nuts.

As for the comments about the nature of imperialism:  WTF?  Since when is annexation a requirement?  The Romans used puppets, like our good friend Herod the Great, to put a local face on their administration.  If the system did not keep the populace in line, direct occupation would follow.  The Romans win either way.  Either the puppet is successful, or, in an attempt to be sucessful, he is overly brutal and the Romans were &quot;liberators&quot;.  (The system failed with Cleopatra and Herod Agrippa, who led revolts against the Romans).  Hitler placed puppets in Slovakia and part of France, and even countries occupied, like the Netherlands and my beloved Norway, local constables collaborated in arrests and deportation.  The SS and Gestapo were not always needed.</description>

Hitler placed puppets in Slovakia and part of France, and even countries occupied, like the Netherlands and my beloved Norway, local constables collaborated in arrests and deportation.  The SS and Gestapo were not always needed.</p>

		<description>Fact is that both Christianity and Islam are differing interpretations (cults) of Judism, a religion based on ancient Semitic mythology.  It&#039;s Santa Claus for grownups... and Santa is just an anagram for you-know-who.</description>

		<description>It&#039;s just the Same Old Game in new dressing:

The Elites use religion (or ethnicity/culture) to divide the &quot;little people&quot; and keep them fighting each other instead of their REAL enemy &amp; main obstacle 
to freedom--The Elites.

And of course, most folks fall for it.

Saddam was a master of that game, but so is 
Bu$hCo and the MSM.

As long as this Game continues, the future of the human race is very much in doubt.</description>

		<description>Well, I agree with Zeeshan, Shia and Sunni are merely a division which is widening by media, specially the western media.
This is not the new thing for the West to divide and rule, so they game plan still the same, they rule India by dividing Hindu and Muslim, other wise India was the most prosperous country before the bustard Britishers came in, under the Muslims rule they were prosperous for thousands of years. Then the bustardsâ€™ Britishers divided them and still they are fighting.
The same way they want the oil from Iraq and they divided the Sunni&#039;s and Shia&#039;s.

Till yesterday nobody in West know the real difference between Shia and Sunni and now the bustardâ€™s American play a dirty game and divided the society for their own advantage.

I believe they should forget what ever little difference between them and kick the westerner out of the country then build new iraq.</description>

		<description>LOL at &quot;to woot&quot;.

My two cents is that although terrorists may be in the minority, there are lots of Muslims in the world who tacitly agree with some of the things that terrorist organizations say.

The Christian equivalent would be the moderate Christian who agrees with some fundamentalist viewpoints.

Sometimes you &quot;agree&quot; with some points. Sometimes you just &quot;not disagree&quot; with others.</description>

		<description>I wonder if it&#039;s important to bear in mind that terrorists are a tiny minority of Muslims. In fact, Muslims generally are less likely to condone violence against civilians than are Americans, considered as a group.  See &lt;a&gt;Think Muslims Support Terror?&lt;/a&gt;</description>

		<description>to woot:

1. The US doesnt have to specifically invade and annex another country to be called imperialistic. In the 21st century, imperialism in the strict definition in the word would be fairly infeasible. The US operates like an economic imperialist. We already enjoy such massive power here that the vast majority of us can stay home, while a very small percentage of businessmen and government officials travel overseas to further consolidate our power. We enter into developing countries, and using money that is often supplied by the US Treasury, and approved by the World Bank, offer them massive loans to build up their infrastructure, with the stipulation that those infrastructure contracts go to private contractors that the US supports. When these countries are eventually unable to pay back these massive debts, they often cut national programs or raid their own treasury to avoid defaulting. Once they do default, we agree to absorb their debt in exchange for a &#039;pound of flesh&#039;. This may be paid in supporting specific policy measures, agreeing to fight against a specific country, privatizing their resources to US-led multinational corporations, etc etc. While our army doesnt specifically go over and enslave those of other countries, a class of businessmen representing &quot;our&quot; interests travels to other countries, and inevitably creates a situation in which those countries are beholden to us, by material or ideological support. So yes, we are imperialistic, we are just way, way better than previous empires at concealing this fact.

2. A country that has been in a state of national emergency for 70+ years, that has spent the majority of its history in some kind of war, that spends more on military budget than the next 50 highest military spenders combined, that jump into a war that the majority of the world are against with little to no factual support, and who are run mostly by neoconservatives who have an obsession with defense contracts and Israeli conflict....I would say the &#039;warmonger&#039; status is pretty friggin accurate.</description>

		<description>&quot;As for the locations where Shias have a significant Muslim majority, there are really only two: Iraq and Iran.&quot;

Shias also hold the majority in Baltistan. This is a country that borders Tibet, which you never hear of because Pakistan has control over, so it&#039;s part of Pakistan.</description>
