Muhammad Ali Jinnah and Gandhi talk 1944?

Well Muhammad Ali Jinnah wanted the Muslims to be in one country and every one else to be in other when India got its independence. Gandhi was initially upset by this however he agreed and Pakistan was formed. However some Muslims did stay in India for example i am a Gujarati Muslim from India. The reason Muhammad Ali Jinnah wanted to have his own country for Muslims was widely because he knew of the discrimination that was going to come to the Muslim people. I guess he thought it was easier for Muslims t have there own country.

Difference between suuni and shiite Muslims?

The core difference between shiite Muslims and sunni Muslims dates back to the moment of the death of the Holy Prophet Muhammad. This story is rarely recounted, and as a result, there has been growing ignorance within the Muslim community due to the lack of knowledge. The Shiite belief is that before the passing of the Holy Prophet, he had chosen a successor to continue the mission of spreading the word of Islam to his cousin, Imam Ali. This was as commanded by God rather than the Prophet's own will and choice. For this reason, Shiite Muslims believe that the true message of Islam has been sent down through the Prophet's bloodline and close family. On the other hand, it is believed that Sunni Muslims follow the rulings of the close companions of the Prophet. It was decided by the companions that a political vote be held to determine who will lead the Muslim community at the time, in contrast to God's will. Despite this, both Sunni and Shiite Muslims follow the same book, the Holy Quran. I hope this has answered your question :)
