- However, I don't tend to the naming of sects. You may call them different schools and teachings and not sects. All Shiite Muslims and Sunni Muslims believe in same God, read same Qur'an, pray facing same direction, practicing pilgrimage (or hajj) to same places, and fast same month of Ramadan. The differences between different Islam schools are minor differences that never related to main faith and beliefs. It is not like the different Christian denominations and sects. Shiite Muslims could be led in praying by a Sunnis Muslim and vice versa. They can pray in the masjid (or mosque) irrelevant to being related to Sunni or Shiites Muslims. All Muslims belong to one Islamic world. Nation of Islam is the only exception as it was originated in USA and abandoned basic true Islam beliefs and teachings.
- Be careful that the Westerners are trying to widen the gap between Shiites and Sunni Muslims and to create conflicts among them only to allow themselves to have control on the resources of both of them.
