Can anyone explain the diff between the 2 major sects of Islam? As a Christian I’m not familiar with them to be honest. 🤷🏼♀️ As both seem to attack Israel, which is the least threat to them as a nation?
Granted the Israel govt has a lot of DS I know, but we still have an obligation to bless the avg people since the Bible does say that. I’m of the understanding their people are oppressed under the control of their govt as well correct?
“I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”” Genesis 12:3
That said, if America wants to be blessed we have to be biblically sound on this.
If someone can explain I’d be happy! It seems to be rather complicated 🤷🏼♀️
My understanding is that the original argument was about who should succeed Muhammed. The Sunnis thought that the successors should be elected and the Shi'as thought a relative of Muhammed should take over.
The words caliph and caliphate come from the Arabic word for successor: khalīfah.
People are strange, aren't they? Think Protestants and Catholics. They can fall out big time even though they are closest to each other. Same wth neighbours. You fall out the most with those who are closest and can find lots of reasons to hate them.
