Comte,"areafiftyone, wonderful piece of writing and in that light can you say a little bit of why Shia and Sunni are at loggerhead since 1400 years ago- please do not tell us it is also because of USA.
I agree that origins of the Sunni-Shiite split were violent and that there has been disageements over the centuries.However, Shiites and Sunnis have lived peacefully together for long periods of time.
But that appears to be giving way to a new period of hatred and conflict in the Middle East between Shiites and Sunnis,clearly inflamed by the West,especially America,for their geopolitical goals.This is very clear in Iraq.
There is definitely an emerging violent disagreement between Sunnis and Shiites aimed at defining not only the pattern of local politics, but also the relationship between the Islamic world and the West.This is as I have said,inflamed by the West,especially America.
