I'm still a bit unclear on the origin and difference between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims. Could you please explain that? And are there further divisions (what Protestant Christians might call "denominations") within Sunni and Shi'a?

Salma12006-You cant even bring yourself to admit openly that Muslims were involved with 9-11. I quote you-"And the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events SOME HAVE ASSOCIATED WITH MUSLIMS. IF an an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism........."
true dialogue can only happen when both sides are honest!

Israel is defending itself just like the USA. Genocidal maniacs like Mahmoud Ahmadinejad are a good example of WHY they have to defend themselves.

Why do most Muslims wish all Israel destroyed?

Why the anti-Semitic attitude towards a democratic nation (Israel) that allows Jew's, Muslim and Christian alike to live among each other?

Last I checked, most Muslim countries outlaw any religion except Islam.

Edit: A couple Koran quotes for fun.

The Dinner Table [5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people

The Woman [4.89] They desire that you should disbelieve as they have disbelieved, so that you might be (all) alike; therefore take not from among them friends until they fly (their homes) in Allah's way; but if they turn back, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them, and take not from among them a friend or a helper.

^^^I guess that explains why you wish to kill those who will not convert to Islam.


Do you consider me a Zionist?

I thought you were a muslim just based on your screen name. People often assume things about others, based on not really too much, don't we?

You might be interested in this book, one of the finest I've read on Islam No God but God.

Not only does it explain the differences between Shi'a and Sunni, it clearly records the historical basis for the differences. It also explains the codification of the Koran.

I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the history of Islam.

How about an answer on these? Seems like when there is an "in your face" question or comment, the board goes silent.
