sunni Islam isn't a very accurate description of the matter. as Islam spread there were several parties that started to appear. basically sunnis where the ones that remained loyal to the Muslim nation and didn't change the teachings of the earlier scholars. as there were many parties, these people needed a name so they were called "ahel al sunnah wal jama'a" or what is refered to as "sunni".
