The Shiites are Muslim aren't they?

At the death of Mohammed the Shiites accepted the son of Mohammed as their leader. The Sunni accepted one of Mohammed's assistants as the leader of the religion. They have had disagreements ever since. The Kurds were part of the remnant of Byzantium after the Huns and later Turks conquered it. They were converted to Sunni after the death of Mohammed.

(If memory of old history lessons serves me right).

<<You know that I am wrong and I know that you are wrong,>> Oh really? About what? Who should rule the earth? Realestate? Influence? Who should get the most oil? You can have it. All of it. Do you mind if some of the rest of us just rent some of it for 80 years or so.

<<...always have to think we have to kill off the other.>> What is this "we" balogni? I have no such idea, nor is it supported in anyway by the Quran.

<<God's the boss!>>Yep, and as I recall it's the Universe, not this land or the land on the other side of the planet that God claims.
