Shias smoke Shias cigarettes and Sunnis smoke Sunnis cigarettes

One cuts your head of from left to right, the other from right to left. I forget which is which..................

[GOPJ]

There’s differences but no where near as big as westerners want to think.

There ARE differences between Methodists and Baptists - but NO WHERE NEAR AS BIG AS THE DIFFERENCES AS BETWEEN METHODISTS AND MUSLIMS.

IT’S THE SAME WITH SECTS WITHIN ISLAM. In brief - they all go to Mecca...

[Paladin2]

Sure.

They are both Islamic Terrorists. By Doctrine.

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

I guess I am willing to believe that. However this means that for 500 years or more, people who have “no differences” have done everything they can to elevate the act and practice of slaughtering each other to the highest importance in their existence. So maybe I’m missing some subtle Point here, but the idea that they hate each other enough to go to war dozens of times and kill each other as religious Redemption somehow belies this assertion by the esteemed Ayatollah.

[BitWielder1]

They hate each others guts but no one outside the ROP has any business talking about it.
"My Brother and I against My Cousin; My Cousin and I against the Stranger."
Egyptian proverb, easily extrapolated to:
"... Sunni and Shia against the Infidels" (that's us).

[Billthedrill]

We have many records and abundant information about the history of waging a war, creating discord and instigating grudges between Sunni and Shia. Such discord was created by English agents...

Garbage. They've been cutting one another's throats wholesale since 632 AD, at which point England wasn't even Christian yet.

Well, he’s got that right !

[Snowybear]

This is the face of sheer panic.

[jimmygrace]

Just another Jedi mind trick from the shias as they proceeded to slaughter sunnis in Syria...

Dec. 29 2015? Was this in response to something happening then? Trump was gearing up for the primaries at that point.

[CtBigPat]

I agree. They are both followers of a false prophet, a charlatan who sought worldly treasures and whose ridiculous promises of virgins in heaven inspired in his followers a fools courage.

That's the strategy to come out on top: There is no difference, so long as you both listen to me.

Sunnis probably feel the same way, so long as their version is the one that rules.

[alternatives?]

When posting, you cut off “IMHO”.

[lakecumberlandvet]

Sunni, shia, whatever. They’re all muslims. That’s all you need to know. And beware: they all hate you, the infidel.

[Lurkinanloomin]

He's right, Islam is dangerous no matter which brand.

A muzzie is a muzzie is a murderous muzzie regardless of nationality.

Enemy islamists all.

“There is no difference between Shias and Sunnis.”

Has anyone asked the Saudi clerical establishment to comment on this?

[cpdiii]

Shias and Sunnis have total contempt for each other and oddly the difference is about the difference between a Methodist and a Baptist. It all goes back to an internal struggle for control of Muslim theology after the death of Mohamed and Ali but that is a different theological subject. It should be noted that Baptist and Methodist do not go to war against each other. Sunnis and Shias did for hundreds of years.

The Muslim religion is a religion of political, sociological, philosophical ideology and total thus total control. Its violence is totally necessary to achieve this.

It is tyranny.
