they dont....because sunnis dont take the shia hadiths....but  its really strange.....that when shia and sunni compromise,, the shia try to persuade  sunnies from their books (EG: muslim and Bukhari).....yet they are still stubborn. and dont want to beleive shias...ans how the sunnis try to interpret according to how they want it....they dont intrepret the whole thing.

There are people who believe that not only believe that their opinion is better or more accurate than yours; they also believe that they are capable of making better decisions for you than are.I support this war. We owed this to the Iraqi people. In 1991, Iraqi citizens were waiting for the US and allies to come into Iraq after Sadam. We failed them then. We will not fail them now.Luckily, GWB has learned from his father's mistakes.\nOops I guess I explained....oh well!

They say those committing the violence aren't following the true teachings, so why don't they public say that and condemn them? Those in the highest power that is.

Because it's easy to do... And you have to admit, both sides are guilty of this.  How many times have we seen certain Muslims complain about Americans, yet call them all Christians and say "How Christ-Like", yet really have no idea how many of the Christians interpret their own religion.  \nThis is one battle neither side is going to win and the battle will never end, because no one has the nerve to actually say "we could be wrong".

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.

I actually can't give a satisfying answer to your question, but I want to sympathize.  All of the most outspokenly religious people I know -regardless of age/gender/beliefs- act very self-righteous and devout in public but are really hypocritical in their personal lives.  I think this combination of righteousness and hypocrisy stems from their firm belief that they and only they follow the true religion and all others may be worthy of pity but are going to hell nonetheless.  They do not realize that morality and religion are not co-dependent; you can be moral but not believe in their god, and you can believe in their god but be completely amoral as well.

all the holy texts of ancient times have been changed over the years to fit political and social climates of different eras. but, that was man's fault. whether religion existed or not, there was still going to be violence over something. all religion is good until some nutcase takes things too far. its a shame that most ppl cant take the lessons that can be learned from any religion and apply them to their daily lives without going off the deep end and rejecting others that dont agree.

Because there are many ignorant people out there who let one incident decide their judgement about a religion.  There are also some narrow minded people who feel that their religion is what everyone should be.

Probably because people dont understand it. It could also be due to the things you hear about terrorism and Iraq. A few should not be determined as the whole of something. \n\nIf people take the time to truly understand Islam, the hatred would subside. But until then people will continue to fear the unknown, that is true for most things.

Some people are religious fanatics, unfortunately. Others believe that only their opinion/religion is the correct one and you aren't allowed to think any differently, sorry this is me also ranting. You're absolutely blummin right!

People are too closed minded and get blinded by all other alternatives but their own.  Religious, Political, or Ethnic background it doesn't matter.  No one else opinions matter.  If you don't see theirs you are the enemy.

You seem to think that the same Iraqis who vote are the ones involved in the sectarian strife.\n\nThe people committing the violence are fighting to destroy the Iraqi democracy.\n\nDo not assume that a few terrorists speak for the Iraqi people.

shias are muslims and so are sunnis too muslims.\nThey both believe in Allahbut are divided due the opinions expressed by the interpreters of quaraan.\nDuring the period of MUHMAD there were nothing like shias and sunnis.It is like divide and rule policy in every religion.

Sharia Law is law that is derived from the quran and hadith (sayings of the prophet). Depending on the way it is interpreted islamic law can be extremely oppresive. However, if interepeted properly it can be moderate, even liberal. It doesn't Belong to sunni or shia. They are different sects who interpret it differently. Many die-hard radicals from sunni and shia sect will say that only their interpretation is correct and the other side is deviant. Some go as far as to label them heretics. However the different sects appeared because of a difference of opinion on who should be the leader of muslims. In other words, disagreement over sharia law. They both agree with the fundamentals of Islam, therefore are both considered muslims. Both are free to interpret sharia law as they understand it.

It is because their beliefs don't seem to have a logical basis.  However, it is the task of evolved people such as yourself to respect other peoples beliefs even if they disagree with yours.
