Still even the Christians (cross worshippers?) after the Protestant Reformation were able to cut truces (hudna's) and stop the fighting. Your internal battles seem too long lived. Even the Protestants and Catholics in Ireland stopped killing each other. Having said that the IRA were very lapsed catholics, indeed!

He was succeeded by his close companion Abu Bakr Siddiq as the first Caliph of the Muslim State. Umar became the second Caliph after him. Uthman became the third Caliph after Umar. Ali became the fourth Caliph after Uthman. All of the above had great mutual respect for each other, and worked for the greater good. Shias are of the opinion that Ali should have succeeded Prophet Muhammed as the first Caliph, as he was his cousin, and married to his daughter Fatima. The political gap between Sunnis and Shias became ugly when the Prophet’s grandson, Ali and Fatima’s son: Hussain was murdered at Karbala, Iraq. The shias mourn that tragedy to this day. Mostly, Sunnis and Shias live in peace in the same neighbourhoods, sometimes even married to a person from the other sect. Political exploitation and terrorist activities create law and order situations. It’s not the religion to blame, but the political situation and the people who create sectarian hatred and violence. > On 23-Aug-2022, at 5:37 PM, John Clark <johnkcl...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Neither group can explain why their religion even needed a new leader if back > then Mohammed had already revealed everything anybody would need to know in > the Quran. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
