Taliban members are Wahhabi which is a sunni sect.

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.

Who are the taliban people from Pakistan?

The Taliban are not a 'people' in the meaning of ethnic group like e.g. the Pashtun. "Taliban" means "students" (of the Quran) and is the plural of the word 'talib', student. Taliban are fundamentalist Muslims who may come from any ethnic group in Pakistan and Afghanistan - or even from outside that area - and who decide to join that organization and pledge allegiance to its leaders.

Why is Islam so violent toward the US?

it is not Islam which is violent towards the USA, although it is the Taliban and they are Muslims. They are called extremists as they take Islam to the extreme. In Islam we are taught to care and be kind to all religions even atheists. The thing which strikes me is that some people think a group of people who are in the same religion fighting ,means the whole religion is with them. Even the Taliban for example! The Taliban have killed more Muslims and Afghans then anyone else!
