shia and sunni have mostly same beliefs and both believe in fundamental beliefs of Islam. today there is up to 260 sect in Islam that are in two category of shia and sunni.
shia believes in Allah, prophet and all fundamentals of Islam.
shia believe after death of prophet God selects the successive for prophet who is the leader of Muslim community and people can not select it.
shia believe the Caliph (Representative of God in earth after prophet) is appointed only by God and can not be selected by people because God said in Koran: "Indeed, I will make upon the earth a successive authority." (Quran 2:30)
this means only God can select an Islamic leader.
in shia they are only fourteen infallible (12 Imams and prophet and his daughter Fatimah Zahra (sa))
and all of them are the same and have no mistake and have the knowledge of everything (this knowledge is from God and by permission of God and is not absolute knowledge. absolute knowledge is only for God and they still do not know many things. but they know anything human may need to know.) and they never die and they hear all sayings and even thinks of all humans after their death by permission of God and they are intermediates between God and human.
and shia Muslims always support them and forgive their lives for them.
shia Muslims do not consider selection of Abubakr as Caliph valid because God did not select him. they believe God ordered prophet to declare Ali is selected as successor of prophet (Quran 5:3) and prophet did this mission in Ghadir event that was in last Hajj of prophet in his life and prophet did a speech for 120,000 Muslims participating that Hajj with prophet. the famous shia book Al-Ghadir is a collection of evidences and proofs for Ghadir Hadith from 100,000 sunni references and read all of 10,000 sunny books. one sunni scholar said if we want to reply Al-Ghadir book (by Allameh Amini) we should first destroy all our books.

Is Hamas sunni?
YES. Hamas claims that they are a Sunni Jihadist organization. It is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood (Ikhwan al-Muslimin) and, as a result, has the same religious policies as the rest of the Brotherhood, which is Sunni-oriented.
Was Khomeini a British agent from British freemasonry and Freemason Moslem Brotherhood?
NO, he was not. First, the Muslim Brotherhood is opposed to Freemasonry. Muslim Brothers have attacked and destroyed Masonic Lodges in Egypt and several other countries. Second, if Khomeini was a British agent, he was the worst kind of agent in that he toppled a pro-British regime and replaced it with a regime categorically opposed to all British interests. Khomeini was also opposed to Freemasons, effectively hunting them out of the country. Khomeini also opposed the Muslim Brotherhood since the latter was a Sunni Islamist organization as opposed to a Shiite Islamist organization; this led directly to the creation of Hezbollah to be a Shiite option in the Islamist Militant sphere.

Most Westerners do not really have an opinion on the Muslim Brotherhood. Those who aware of what happened in Egypt in 2012, when the Muslim Brotherhood took over Egypt and tried to impose Islamic Law rather than make important changes to improve the economy, have a rather negative view of the Brotherhood. Those who know that Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and that the Muslim Brotherhood is trying to equate criticism of Islam with bigotry against Muslims as people have an increased level of revulsion towards the organization.However, there are Westerners who support the Muslim Brotherhood seeing them as "Moderate Islamists", even though none of their political positions are actually moderate.
