Why, after centuries of conflict, are Sunni and Shiite unable to peacefully co-exist? Is it a matter of wishing to impose religious beliefs on others, competition for power, or something else? <https://www.quora.com/Why-after-centuries-of-conflict-are-Sunni-and-Shiite-unable-to-peacefully-co-exist-Is-it-a-matter-of-wishing-to-impose-religious-beliefs-on-others-competition-for-power-or-something-else> <https://www.quora.com/profile/Mohammad-Jaafar-3> Mohammad Jaafar <https://www.quora.com/profile/Mohammad-Jaafar-3>, studied at Islamic University of Lebanon Updated Jan 7 <https://www.quora.com/Why-after-centuries-of-conflict-are-Sunni-and-Shiite-unable-to-peacefully-co-exist-Is-it-a-matter-of-wishing-to-impose-religious-beliefs-on-others-competition-for-power-or-something-else/answer/Mohammad-Jaafar-3> Look, in a country that has a Sunni majority, a Shia minority and no Wahhabi influence, you find the Sunnis and Shias coexisting in peace, and they even intermarry and become friends, once Wahhabism creeps into the country, they start a systematic propaganda aimed at demonizing the Shia, and cannibalizing the rigid brains of the Sunni teens. The Sunni-Shia 1400 years divide as soon as prophet Mohammad passed away is a falsie, did not really happen, real history tells us about how Sunnis and Shias despite the difference in views on who should lead lived in peace and intermarried, traded, visited, mourned each other, why, because Imam Ali told his supporters to, Imam Ali had a test from God, does he start a civil war to retake back the caliphate which is his right, there is no arguing against that, and which if he started the war, he will take the caliphate back, trust me he will win, there is no could or would in that he might lose the battle, Imam Ali was a powerful knight and could influence his followers, but what is the price, he will have to kill a group of Prophet Mohammad companions and a group from the early Muslims all of which supported the first 3 caliphs, so he opted out of it, he won't destroy what Prophet Mohammad built just because of a worldly throne, and due to the fact that powerful kingdoms were lurking around the still small caliphate and waiting for any spark of war to intervene, so Imam Ali and his followers supported the first 3 caliphs so that they do not be the reason for the destruction of what Prophet Mohammad built, Imam Ali advised the caliphs when they committed a mistake. The problems start with the coming of the Umayyads, and all the dynasties called “Islamic” dynasties that came after the first 4 caliphs, these dynasties created their own schools embedded in the Sunni majority in order to control the Sunni populace and direct them, this new school even called for Jihad against other Sunni Muslims, it gave them an authority to kill other Sunnis they did not like, how do you think all these “Muslim” dynasties rose in place of each other, they needed a religious authority to get them to wage Jihad against another “Muslim” dynasty and replace it, the Umayyads kill the Shia Muslims not because the Umayyads are Sunnis, Sunnis disowned the Umayyads, but because the Shia dare stand in the face of the Umayyad tyranny, Sunnis who dared stand in their faces had the same fate as well. Now we come to Wahhabism, the creator of the wahhabi ideology Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Abd_al-Wahhab> claimed that he wants to reform Islam, he was a student learning Islam in his local town, he once stumbled upon the books written by Ibn Taymiyyah <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Taymiyyah> , and from that day on, the Wahhabi ideology started taking roots, Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muhammad_ibn_Abd_al-Wahhab> accused his Islamic theology teacher of not telling him everything about Islam, and that he is not a Muslim enough, and thus Wahhabism materialised, It follows the theology of Ibn Taymiyyah <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibn_Taymiyyah> and the Hanbali <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanbali> school of jurisprudence, although Hanbali leaders renounced ibn Abd al-Wahhab's views, Every Muslim village, every Muslim town the Wahhabis came to preach in, kicked them, and accused them of blasphemy, all of that changed after their alliance with House of Saud <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Saud> clan. Every attempt at unity between Sunnis and Shias and ending this useless bickering was fought by the wahhabis and Sunnis affiliated with the wahhabis, and they somewhat succeeded due to the vast wealth they have, after all Pakistan and other Muslim Arab countries did not go to Kuala lumpur Islamic summit of 2019 after massive pressure from Saudi Arabia, which looks at this summit as a direct challenge to its influence and clutches on the Islamic world, led by Malaysia: KL Summit 2019 <https://klsummit.my/> .. When AL-Azhar, a well respected Sunni theology institution in Egypt issued a decree calling Shia Muslims a brother in religion, and part of the Muslim world Al-Azhar Shia Fatwa <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Azhar_Shia_Fatwa> , guess who was not happy and showed his refusal and when they had power in 2012 tried reversing this Fatwa, you guessed it, they accused Al-Azhar of being infiltrated by the Shia, and practicing Taqiyya. So how does wahhabis do it, how do they make the Sunnis attack the Shia and vice versa: Wahhabis creep into a Sunni mosque, they inject their books into the libraries of the Mosque, the Sunnis in the mosque do not realize it, but now they are being taught wahhabi theology instead of their Sunni school of thought, the next stage is they start injecting lies about Shia Muslims in the brains of other Sunni Muslims, like: “Shia worship Ali as a God”, “Shia think that angel Gabriel made a mistake and went to Prophet Mohammad instead of Ali”, “Shia are not Muslims, they are a Zoroastrian and Jewish spy”……. You see this man His name is Yasser Al-Habib <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasser_Al-Habib> , he is a Shia clerk, he is the favorite personality for Extremist Sunnis and Wahhabis, this clerk was shunned by all the Shia Muslims, because of his divergent thoughts, he is just like Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab but the Shia version, as I said, this person was shunned and denounced by all Shia Ayatollahs and Imams in the world, and he does not have that much of a following in the Shia world, he ran and hid in Britain, under the protection of the British Police, and he has a Media outlet, why is he that favorite Shia for the Extremist Sunnis, because this man curses the Sahaba, curses lady Aisha, he accuses Sunnis of being kaffirs and their heads should be chopped, he uses disgusting slurs against the Sunnis, and when Extremist Sunnis bring the videos of him saying that and shows them to a Sunni, and tell him the lie that all Shia Muslims think like this, what do you think the reaction of the Sunni will be, this man and what he says are one of the most shared among the Sunni world when they want to bash the Shia Muslims, despite the fact that he was denounced and even kicked out of the clergy. 7.7k views · View Upvoters · View Sha
