Islam is a religion, like Christianity and Judaism.  All the followers of Islam are called muslims.  Islam has several sects, just like Christianity which has Catholics, Baptists, Methodists, etc.  Sunnis and Shi'ites are two of the sects of Islam.  Sunnis are the great majority of all muslims.  Shi'ites are in a minority everywhere except Iran.\n\nAfghans are people who are citizens of Afghanistan, a country.  Just like Americans are citizens of the United States of America.\n\nInsurgents are terrorists/rebels who are trying to overthrow the popularly elected government in Iraq.

Suicide Bombers = Terrorists who kill others along with themselves.\n\nMurderers = People who kill others with or without reasons.\n\nMartyrs = People who choose to die for their beliefs, religious and/or political, without the use of violence (attacks and counter-attacks); in other words, they choose to be "sacrificed" willingly like Jesus.\n\nThus, suicide bombers are NEITHER murderers NOR martyrs, they are Terrorists.

I'm with Chippy!  Mav is so cute wif her lil bow!\n\nI don't know the exact differences between their beliefs, but I can tell you that they are based on differing beliefs of cailiphs.  Cailiphs are those who took the place of Muhammad after his death...essentially, they were the "popes" of Islam.  At one point in time, debate began to grow over who was to be the next cailiph, and the infighting got so bad that two groups formed because of it.  Beyond that, I have no idea what the differences are. ;p

Depends on who is running for office..I have noticed that Bush interchanges these words to fit the audience.\n A terrorist would be an outside agitator with no Country identity ,,whereas the insurgent is not unlike our own forefathers who fought the British.

Whether you know it or not their really isn't any Arabs on these pages. It's all the little Republican games from people that are trying to use scare tactics. Check their pages man, you can tell by their location, it will say the Middle East, or Asia. So they are lying just like the daily military, that say they are in Iraq, and Afghanistan. That would be a security violation, and the military isn't going to have that. They are in here every day, they are lying to you, and they are not real. Look for "SGT K" and "Support Denmark" and "Hathaway" these people are skinheads, NEO_NAZI'S man.

yes, stan is in some languages non-Arabic woh has endo-european origin such as kurdish, persian, urdu I guess.  and stan as some ppl told me means territory, land, or country..etc  so Kurdistan mean kurd land, Arabistan in Iran means Arab land, Pakistan means probably Pakis land. and so on. it doesn't have anything to do with Islam I guess.  except maybe this is the names those ppl gave to their areas to Arab Muslims maybe.

The thing is that shites believe more in the word of the God's messenger, Abraham, and they don't want to accept Muhammed. The Sunnis believe in the word of Muhammed, but also in Abraham as well. So, based on that, there are some differences in how shites and sunnis pray. I think it is very similar as the differences between Catholics and Orthodox.

The differences of Shia and Sunni muslims are -\n\nShi'a Islam, Even though it is the second largest denomination of Islam, among the hundreds of millions of Muslims Shi'a muslims are considered to be a minority in number. Shi'a Muslims adhere to what they consider to be the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad and the religious guidance of his family whom they refer to as the Ahlul Bayt. Thus, Shi'as consider the first three ruling caliphs of Islam a historic occurrence and not something attached to faith. The singular/adjective form is Shī’ī (شيعي.) and refers to a follower of the Household of Muhammad and of Ali ibn Abi Talib (Imam Ali) in particular\n\nSunni Muslims are the largest denomination of Islam. They are referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna . The word Sunni comes from the word sunna , which means the tradition of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad. Sunnis are also referred to as Ahl ul-Sunna wa-l-Jama'ah (people of tradition and congregation) which implies that the Sunnis are united. They represent the branch of Islam that came through the caliphate, which started with Abu Bakr.\n\nSunni (Arabic: سني ) means follower of the sunna of the Prophet, with some details.

Look this question in humanity angle. First of all even if you follow hiduism one can be Muslim. but reverse is not true. Hiduism is a way of life. In it every think is accepted. It also says that there is only one allha. Only difference is that when you want to get someting from studies it tell that pray that form of god. If you want justice you must pray at in the court not in school, if you want information you must pray at information dept, if you want to good sportman pray at play ground. \nQuestion of supporting pakisthan, if you are INDIAN, How it comes to your mind?

Obviously there is an organized 24 hour working group. You will always find 1 at least to keep posting a Question. Most of the people know what actually their purpose is. Even if Yahoo Block them for Inciting Violence and Hatred, they come up with a different name. \n\nAll Muslims & Non-Muslims should understand their purpose. And don't make these PROPAGANDANISTS successful by being angy to a religion or it's followers. Neither Islam Nor Christianity allows hatred but is really strict about Peace. These Porpagandanists are infact Terrorists because anyone who even tries to destroy Peace or Peaceful Environment is a Terrorists.
