#RealityCheck: The myth of a Sunni-Shia war

What is driving the current violence and chaos in the Middle East? Many say it’s the “age-old” sectarian conflict between Sunnis and Shias, but a look at the facts shows something different.

In this week’s Reality Check, Mehdi Hasan highlights the myth of the so-called Sunni-Shia war.

Exactly, it is a arab persian power struggle that the idiots(like many on this forum) who follows their brainwashing believe as a Shia Sunni issue

but still we can't just claim its merely a Persian Arab Conflict , there are some Serious disputes and allegations put by the both Parties .. which is in fact the cause of Violence to begin with ..
The history go from the Possible Corruption of Uthman R.A to the Allegation on Ali R.A who was unable to provide Justice for Uthman's R.A murder .. and lets not forget the Sexual Harassment accusations on Umar ibn Khattab by some sects of Shia's .

I always believed it's more of an Arab vs Persia thing than a Sunni vs Shia conflict.

Anyways if the English and French can become good buddies after centuries of hostility and bloody warfare - don't see why the Arabs and Iranians can't do the same, eventually!

Who gives a hoot!!

These personalities were a thousand fold better muslims and humans than us. They would be aghast at the patheticness of any allegations and so on. Anyone who puts allegations has Allah to face and no one else. All those trying to somehow take sides in whatsoever disputes that might or might not have been some 1500 years ago are seriously the most useless creatures on this planet. So we have a lot of useless creatures who are either unemployed or unable to make do with their lives that they make up for their utter lack of contribution to humanity by being damaging to other humans; filth.. nothing more, nothing less.

I agree but some people are actually taking it seriously , or as an Attack on Islam .. but those who are provoking and those who are been provoked are among the Uneducated .. or as you said " Useless creatures who are unemployed "

 

[Syed Taha Wajahat]

Its Wahabi-Khumeni war of ego and dominance, not a sectarian war, both sects coexists for centuries. They wahabism and khumenism are the face of khawarij from both sects. They kill to force their believes. they dont represent shia or sunnis.

 

[YeBeWarned]

Stick to one point, either history goes back to Ali R.A or Umar R.A. There was no sunni-shia issue during his rule. Usman R.A succeeded Umar R.A (not Ali R.A). Hazrat Umar Ibn Khatan died in 23 Hijri and Hussain R.A left Makkah for Iraq(kufa) in 60 Hijri (37 years after Umar's death) and sunni-shia issue raised after his shahadat. How can you relate an event with a person who died 37 years before the event did happen? Dont try to twist history.

I am not Twisting anything but merely mentioning some of the Arguments Shia/Sunni Used against each other to provoke ... read my post again , and try to understand the Context this time .

Sir you are right a wrong on the sametime ...

You are right about what should be world like ... You are right saying we are not even worthy if discussong the acts of great shabas ... And judging there acts is a crime ... But is this happening in real ? In reality we are commenting on act of those great personalities ..

I also agree to the core of the issue its power struggle two oil rich regimes for control over middle east but you cannot deny the fact that they are using shia sunni divide ...

Why i am focusing this shia sunni divide ... Cause solution of the problem lies in its identification and acceptance ...

So i suggest we should portray educate all sunni and shia brothers not to become tool in the hand of some power hungry creep and whatever historical differences we have let Allah to decide ...

Whatever historical differences are not even our right to comment on. What is our right to comment on, condemn and stop by law if necessary; are those that encourage such comments and those that comment back.

 

[Silverblaze]

Disagree. Shia-sunni divide is a reality dismissing it is no solution. Followers of these sects call their faith madhab and live and breathe it. Solution is to make sects irrelevant on the govt level, for this both the iranian and saudi model has to be condemned which sadly is not the case.

That is the problem, a lot still believe it's a Shia-Sunni issue.
Which is concerning because it'll only mean more problems in the region in the future and hatred between two sects/people.
Countries like Turkey and Pakistan need to stay way clear of it.
