"the all do work for the same cause"

No, they don't, GZ.

(Certainly no more so then fundamentalist Baptists, say..., have EXACTLY the same religious views and world view as, say... Orthodox Christians, or Catholics back when the physical Church exercised political dominion over vast lands.)

In actuality, the Shiite/Sunni schism is much greater even then that... but I hope my example helps to explain the magnitude of the differences.

Perhaps an easier to understand comparison could be made:

It's like saying that Stalin's Communists "worked for the same cause" as Hitler's Nazis.

In *ONE* sense, they did, they worked for totalitarian rule over others... and POWER for THEMSELVES. But, ideologically the differences were considerable....
