I agree that the Shia and the Sunni are frequently fighting each other, but I very much doubt that the end result will be anything resembling the religious toleration in the US Constitution.
Whichever strain comes out on top is an intolerant politico-religious ideology that advances itself through violence.

Exactly. Catholics and Protestants fought, but what they had in common was their hypocrisy over the teachings of Christ. Eventually, those teachings forced non-violence upon the factions through the learning and spiritual development of Christians themselves.
Islam has no such fundamental teachings, but quite the reverse - teachings of murder for those who don't believe. For this reason, Islam is, in fact, doomed. It is a virus that eats its host, and then eats itself. The ONLY reason it has grown powerful in the last 50 years is it's financial and political support from Western saboteurs of their own countries. And the only question is how long before it destroys itself, and how many people have to die before it meets its end.
What Muslims don't realize is that the same people who are using them as weapons to crush Western freedom will, if that should ever succeed, wipe them out just as ruthlessly. Their delusions of somehow overcoming their financial and political masters are just that - delusions.
