The split goes back to events in the 7th century: After Mohammed’s death, leadership of the Islamic community passed to Abu Bakr, one of Mohammed’s closest companions. Some in the community felt that this succession was not legitimate, and that the title of caliph really belonged to Ali. Ali’s claim was supported by the fact that he was Mohammed’s cousin, his adopted son, his first convert (at the age of nine), and husband of his daughter Fatima. Both sides believe that Mohammed specifically designated their man: Supporters of Abu became the Sunnis, those of Ali the Shiites.

Sunnis and Shiites have been waging war against each other for a while. It’s got something to do with their beliefs and the way they pray. One group believes that prophet Mohammed was the last and greatest prophet and no one else after him, while the other still looks up to the prophet’s descendents as their spiritual leaders. I'm not Muslim or Arab. I was born in Kuwait and lived there for 20 yrs. I was born catholic and I always got into fights with the locals because I was Christian. They would draw a cross in the sand, spit & stomp on it, and then shove my brother and me. Me and my brother would retaliate (We never did tell our parents why we got in to fights.) So I have no pity for the Muslims. I'm an immigrant here and love this country. I do come across a lot of Muslims and they feel that America deserved 9/11, and other terrorists attack. Those very people would empathize with the Americans, and then turn around and say shit against this country. I think that this country gives them too much respect and freedom. The Arabs and Pakistanis make it nearly impossible to build churches or temples in their countries. But they inundate the rest of the world with mosques. There was even an attempt by a cleric who wanted the British govt. to adopt sharia (quran) laws for all to follow. They don't allow us to follow our beliefs there but try and enforce theirs on us. That’s just wrong and although I'm against dubya and every issue he supports, I support any action he takes against them. The Americans may be using it as a way to keep them occupied. Look at all the countries terrorized by them - America, most of Western Europe (France, Spain, Germany, Denmark, Britain, Italy), India, China, Russia, Somalia, Nigeria, Sudan, Kenya, Philippines, Indonesia, Israel, Lebanon, and Egypt. Lets not forget the rest of the Arab world. I avoid judging people, but before you sympathies with Arabs, live with them, find out how many people were killed by them. In the northern state of India - Kashmir - 64,000 people were killed. I’m not trying to take sides or put anybody down, but there is truth to Trent Lotts statement.
