after the death of the Holy prophet, A small minority, following Ali, refused to pay allegiance . at the head of the minority there were salman, Abu Dharr, Meqdad and Ammar. at the beginning of the caliphate of Ali also a sizable minority in disagreement refused to pay allegiance. among the most persistent opponents were saad ibn As , Walid ibn Uqbah, Marwan ibn Hikam, Amr ibn As, Busr ibn Artah, samareh ibn jundab , mighirah ibn shubah,
the study of biography of these two groups and meditation upon the acts they have perfumed and stories recounted of them in history books, reveal fuly their religions personality and aim. the first group were among the elite of the companions of the holy prophet and among the ascetics, devout worshippers and selfless devotees of Islam who struggled on the path of Islamic freedom. they loved by by the prophet.
history is , however, full of acoounts of unworthy acts commited by some of the second group. the various acts committed by some of these men in opposition to explicit Islamic teachings are beyond reckoning. these acts cannot be excused in any manner except the way that is followed by certain groups among the Sunnis who say that God was satisfied with them and therefore they were were free to perform whatever act they wished and that they would not be punished for violating the injunctions and regulations existing in the Holy book and the Sunnah.
the first war in the caliphate of Ali, which is called the battle of the Camel, was caused by the unfortunate class differences created during the period of rule of second caliph as a result of the new socio-economic forces which caused an uneven distribution of the public treasury among members of community. when chosen to the caliphate, Ali divided the treasury evenly as had been the method of the Holy prophet,but this manner of dividing the wealth upset Talhah and Zubayr greatly. they began to show signs of disobedience and left Medina with Mecca with alleged aim of making the piligrimage. they persuaded the mother of the faithful, Aishah who was not friendy with Ali, to joined them and in the name of wanting to revenge the death of the third caliph , they began the loody battle of the camel.this was done despite the fact that this same Talhah and zubayr were in Medina were the third caliph was besieged and killed but did not nothing to defend him. furthermore, after his death they were the first to pay allegiance to Ali on behalf of the immigrants as well as on their own. also the mother of the faithful, Aishah did not show any opposition to those who had killed the third caliph at the moment when she recieved the news of his death. it must be recommended that this main instigators of the disturbances led to the death of the third caliph were those companions who wrote letters from Medina to people near and far inviting them to rebel against tha caliph. a fact which is repeated in many early muslim histories.

What sorts of crimes did the Sunnis perpetrate against the Shiites?
Answer 1There was no Shia or Sunni even till the days of the Caliphate of Hazrat Ali Ul Murtaza (RAU). The last Prophet of Islam was neither a Sunni nor a Shia. A hypocrite Jew, Ibn-i-Saba conspired against the Muslims and they fell a prey to his conspiracy dividing the Muslims into different sects. May Allah Karim guide us to the right path and make our hearts free from hatred against each other. The Enemy bombers and guns make no distinctions between a Sunni Muslim or a Shiea Muslim. The people of Koofa were Sheean-i-Ali who betrayed the dearest Imam Hussain (RAU) along with the dearest Ahl-i-Bait. Were they the Sunnies?Answer 2Many of the historic Sunni Muslim Empires actively repressed and persecuted Shiite Muslims. As Answer 1 notes, the seminal event beginning this persecution was when Yazid I of the Umayyad Caliphate ordered the execution of Imam Hussein and a large remnant of the Ahl-al-Bayt (Prophet Mohammed's family). The Umayyad Army followed through with this. Additionally the Umayyad government wanted to create a Sunni Arab aristocracy and therefore applied the jiyza tax not only to Jews and Christians, but to Mawali (non-Arab Muslims) and the Shiite Muslims, regardless of whether they were Arab or Mawali. Shiite Muslims were also banned from most government positions under the Umayyads. Finally, the Umayyads continued to seek out the Shiite Infallible Imams, torture them and murder them.Shiite Muslims joined arms with the Sunni Abbassids in 750 CE who promised a better situation for the Shiite Muslims, but they were later deceived. The Abbassid Caliphs continued the Umayyad trend of torturing and murdering the Shiite Infallible Imams, but extended this as well to Shiite leadership (Mullahs and Faqihs). Shiite Mosques were destroyed and worshipers during Ashura processions were murdered. Shiite Muslims and their property were also periodically attacked as scapegoats for Abbassid military problems, such as the Byzantine offensive in 971 CE. The Abbassid Caliphs also provided financial support to those Faqihs (Islamic Jurists), especially from the Hanbali School, that would propagate anti-Shiite attitudes.The Ottoman Empire saw the Shiites under its purview incorrectly as a fifth column for its rival in Persia, the Safavid Empire, which was a Shiite Islamic State. To prevent Shiite Muslims from becoming a critical mass in the country, the Ottomans massacred large numbers of Shiites, especially the Turkish Alevis, the Syrian Alawites, and many Lebanese Shiite Muslims (mostly Twelvers).Currently, there is government-level repression of Shiite Islam in several countries, including Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. In both of these countries, the Shiite population (66% and 15% respectively) are actively banned from government positions, have many sectors of the economy closed to them, and have minimal say even in their own protection. In Saudi Arabia, Wahhabis have issued fatwas against Shiite Muslims, written textbooks slandering their faith, actively banned Ashura and other Shiite festivals, and in some cases prevented the creation of Shiite burial grounds. In other countries, such as Indonesia and Pakistan, violent Radical Sunni-Affiliated Groups terrorize portions of the Shiite population and the government takes no action to protect the Shiite Muslims. Finally, there are a number of Muslim countries like Malaysia, where Shiite Muslims are on good-footing with Sunni Muslims but are prohibited from open proselytization.Commentaries on the Murder of Hussein and His Family have been moved to the Discussion Section.
What is the festival of mourning during which muslims often injure themselves?
This would be the Muharram (also known as the Tenth of Ashura). This is celebrated by Shiite Muslims exclusively as a day of mourning during the first month of their calendar for the martyrdom of Hussein ibn Ali. It is not required that they hurt themselves, but some Muslims choose to do this while mourning.

Who are the two leading clerics who were prominent during the Iraq war?
Ayatollah Ali as-Sistani, the Chief Ayatollah of Iraq and Sayyed Muqtada as-Sadr one of the most persuasive Shiite leaders in Iraq. Ali as-Sistani was very important in getting Shiite Muslims and Shiite Clerics involved in the Iraqi political process during the elections and creation of a new Iraqi State. Muqtada as-Sadr famously fought the US forces and created a ghetto in Baghdad called "Sadr City" that spawned numerous militants and violence.
Where do Muslims go during the holidays?
Muslims are not required to go anywhere during the holidays of others. During Hajj, Muslims go to Mecca.
Why do the Sunnis and Shiites not get along?
They get along but Slafi Muslims (like ISIS, Al-Qaede, Wahhabis,...) do not get along with both Shia and Sunni Muslims. they want to make war between Shia and Sunni and media propaganda shows that it is Shia/Sunni war. for example in Iran Shia and Sunni are living in peace and pray at common mosques. but ISIS is a different matter. it is managed by Israel to "Divide and Rule" Muslims.
Who did shiite Muslims want Mohammad to be replaced by?
Hazrat Ali (RAU). But the Shiaism sprang up much later. Hazrat Ali (RAU) remained faithful to the first three Rightful Caliphs. He was an active member of the advisory council (Shoora) of the Muslims during the reign of first three Rightful Caliphs. He was the fourth Rightful Caliph.
What is an example of conflicts between the Sunnis and the Shi'ites?
It depends entirely on which Shiites and which Sunnis are fighting and more often than not it does not require outside interference.Many of the historic Sunni Muslim Empires actively repressed and persecuted Shiite Muslims. The seminal event beginning this persecution was when Yazid I of the Umayyad Caliphate ordered the execution of Imam Hussein and a large remnant of the Ahl al-Bayt (Prophet Mohammed's family). At this point in time, the Shiites were a political faction supporting Ahl al-Bayt over the Umayyad Caliphs. The murder of Hussein began to transform the identity of the Shiites and plays a central role in their beliefs. The Umayyad Army followed through with this. Additionally the Umayyad government wanted to create a Sunni Arab aristocracy and therefore applied the jiyza tax not only to Jews and Christians, but to Mawali (non-Arab Muslims) and the Shiite Muslims, regardless of whether they were Arab or Mawali. Shiite Muslims were also banned from most government positions under the Umayyads. Finally, the Umayyads continued to seek out the Shiite Infallible Imams, torture them and murder them.Shiite Muslims joined arms with the Sunni Abbassids in 750 CE who promised a better situation for the Shiite Muslims, but they were later deceived.

Finally, there are a number of Muslim countries like Malaysia, where Shiite Muslims are on good-footing with Sunni Muslims but are prohibited from open proselytization.However, the Shiites have also persecuted Sunnis under their watch. The first major attack of Shiites against Sunni leadership was in the final days of the Fatimid Caliphate when Fatimid rulers created the Assassins who took down many notable Sunni leaders such as Grand Vizier Nizam ul-Mulk of Baghdad, Mohammed Ghori, the Atabegs Maudud and Zengi of Mosul. The Assassins even targeted Saladin the Ayyubite, but were unsuccessful.The Persian Safavids fought several wars against neighboring Sunnis in Samarqand to the North and the Ottomans to the West. Ismail I (the first Safavid) adopted Twelver Shiite Islam and began to persecute the Sunnis in Iran. This reduced their community to a small minority in the Persian heartland. He destroyed numerous Sunni mosques and grave sites as well as mandating curses against the first three Rightly-Guided Caliphs. He also imprisoned and killed large populations of Sunnis for their beliefs and compelled conversion to Shiite Islam through violence. The Safavids also spread this form of Sunni oppression through conquest Azerbaijan and of southern Iraq and imposing conversion to Shiite Islam there as well.There are also current examples of repression of Sunnis by Shiites. Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Shiite repression of Sunnis has become dominant again in Iran. Sunni Iranian Cleric Abu Muntasir Al-Baloushi has said that the government of Iran (because of its repressive practices towards Sunnis) is a greater threat to Islam than even Israel. In Iraq, Shiites and Sunni militants fight for the attempt to have greater control of the government after America removed Saddam and each group sought to advocate its views to the suppression of the other. As the Shiites are more numerous in Iraq, they seem to have the upper hand in determining policy. In Syria,the current civil war is between a secular Shiite-led government and the majority Sunni population of Syria which has historically been denied the same accessibility to jobs, healthcare, and living-standards.
