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.
