    Bit late to this party, but have been wondering about the divide within Muslims themselves...
    Do you identify as Sunni or Shia, or neither? - and if so, i don't really understand the divide, which seems to me is based on a controversial election that happened centuries ago. Given that both sects believe exactly the same thing. Does it still matter now? - is there still a bloodline that exists from Mohammed?
    i'm sure it's way more complex than that. School me.

    • Just have to look at the many branches of Christianity to understand it.fadein11
    • Christians seem equally odd to me, but many have different belief systems. Shia/Sunni seems to be about an old Caliph Story...indian_pole
    • ...and didn't Ali become the 4th Caliph anyway? i don't understand the dispute.indian_pole
    • I have no idea to be honest lol. My point was Christianity broke up into different branches for similar disputes - look at Martin Luther etc.fadein11
