The Sunni-Shiite split was at first a political one and began around 630 C.E. The actual Fitna al-Kubra (Sunni-Shiite War) began in the mid-650s C.E.
661AD
Mostly Sunnis But many of them are converting to shia because of seeing successes of Shia Hezbollah.
I fink it's Sunnis.. :)
They split into the Shia and the Sunnis because they didn't know who the leader should be. The Shias believed it should be blood relation, while the Sunnis believed the leader should be chosen.
they are both Muslims and located all over the world.
The split between the Shias and the Sunnis is based on one thing: who they believe should be the next caliph. Other than that, they are pretty much the same. Remember that this split occured years ago. The Shias believed that the next caliph should be a blood relative of Prophet Muhammad(sw). The Sunnis believed that the next caliph should be selected my leaders of the Muslim community.
the majority of people are shia Muslims. but government is sunni.
What caused the split was Muhammad's death in 632.
It is mainly not called two sections. Shia and Sunnis are both Muslims, but they have a slight difference in their way of Islam. A Shia Muslim can't let a Sunni Muslim enter their mosque because he is a Sunni. It goes the same for Sunnis as well.
nothing maby just how the shia's believe that the first kalifeh was abu baker/omar and shia's belive that its ali.
None. Sunnis are very much talented and goodlooking than shias, shias population is one tenth of Sunnis so its rare to find shia celebrity as they are minority. shias are very easy to distinguish, There names easily suggest they are shia as there is only one shia actor I guess is Javed Jaffri. Jaffri is a shia surname plus shias appearances and looks are weird or to extreme, Ugly. There Religious expressions can easily highlight them. Till date bollywood have not come across any famous shia celebrity.
in many countries. but shia Muslims mainly in Iran, Iraq, Bahrain, Pakistan, Azerbaijan and more. other Muslim countries are mainly sunni with minor shia population.
