Hi Sue:

Thanks for your informative input. Sorting out Sunni versus Shiite Muslims is not easy for those of us who live in a country where we have spent years infighting between our own Christian Denominations.

The world received a massive "heads up" when India was partitioned and the Muslims established the Nation of Pakistan. They still have flare-ups between communities within India but before the partitioning took place, there was bloodshed every day.

There are probably several non-violent Muslim Groups but they appear to be intimidated by those who demand violence against all non-Muslim Religions. The idea that one person's religion is the only way is the largest single cause of war between nations. (Usually disguised as something else... or as Atheism.)

It is a Sad world, ever shrinking due to technological advances impacting those who are unwilling to change or compromise.

Regards,

Dave
