The problem goes back to a dispute over who had spiritual authority over the Muslim community after the death of the prophet Muhammad in what is called the “fitna” which translates as temptation or trial and caused all the discord within Muslim community.

Shi’ite Muslims believe that authority was vested in his family; the Sunnis look to the sayings and actions of Muhammad as well as the Koran.

All the Muslim on Muslim violence is based on that split!

Over 550,000 Muslims have been slaughtered by Muslims in Syria alone with almost daily beheadings, burnings and other executions!

Isis and al Qaeda is turning Islam into a death cult that will be unacceptable in any civilised country. Whatever fighting may do it cannot save Islam from self destructing only the real Muslims can do that and there is little sign yet of Islam tackling the problem!

Now China is threatened with terrorist attacks in the name of Allah!

Sadly there is hardly a country in the world that has not experienced Muslim violence!

Like Catholics and Protestants? I don't wish to be abusive, but 'pigs might fly' comes to mind, applicable to both Christians and Muslims. Until the west got involved in the Middle East there hadn't been many problems between Shia and Sunni Muslims for decades. They had basically agreed to differ.

There would be peace in the ME if you took your troops back out of there.

No, not until the Israeli's stopped stealing their properties.

You'll never get respect. Just look at all the Christian denominations. Some have gotten ove rit, but many are still very confrontational.

At best, we need people to simply tolerate other views.
