There has been a centuries-long feud between Sunnis and Shiites.  More specifically, Saddam oppressed the Shi'a in Iraq, and most Baath party members were Sunni.

Yes, but I'm looking for the root. It was there  before Saddam.

Sunni's believe That Mohammed was the last prophet

Shia's believe that Mohammed's nephew Ali is the last prophet.  This obviously does not go down well with Sunnis.

So there you have it a endless circle of violence.

http://www.islamfortoday.com/shia.htm just typed suni vs shia in Google.

On a humorous note my mother used to call me a Shia in a fit of rage when i was slightly naughty as a child

In certain ways, you can liken the current feud between Shiites and Sunnis with the medieval feud that once existed between Protestants and Catholics (and still lingers in Northern Ireland).

Negative.

All Muslims believe that Muhammad was the last prophet, that is an extremely large part of their religion. The difference is that once Muhammad died, the Shiites believed that only a direct heir to him could be the next caliphate, or Muslim leader, while the Sunnis believed that any qualified person could become the next caliphate.

Edit: And Sh1fty2k5, shut the fuck up and get out of DS&T.

noooooo, you say you are a Sunni and you don't go around killing people. My response to that was.....YOU don't live in Iraq. Maybe if you were in their situation you would take a side. I read your profile, THAT is why I said what I said.
