...Did you just write "These are internal matters to each religion and, serve no purpose to the general public.." ?<quoted text>
I refuse to discuss Shia and Sunni divide the same way I do not discuss the Roman Catholics verses Protestant divide in Christianity.
Or Sanatan Dharmi and Arya Samaji divide in Hinduism or Akali and Nirankari divide in Sikhism.
Because these are internal matters within each religion and discussing them on these public threads is not useful to general public.
In the eyes of Non Muslims, there is no difference between Shia and Sunni. For then they are equally "heathen" so why should I waste my time in discussing these things which have no purpose.
Islam is what is mentioned in Quran and sayings and actions of our Prophet. Neither name of Sunni nor Shia is mentioned anywhere there.
I invite all to Islam and not to any sect. Once you study Islam from its primary sources, you will find out which is closer to the teachings of Quran and Prophet and then you join whichever you like.
2)..I doubt that ..!!..You relish in lambasting Hinduism ..but, speak of the constant violence emanating from Islam and ,you bury your head..
