Who is more radical sunnis or shiites?

"Radical-ness" operates entirely separately from the Sunni-Shiite divide. There are radical Sunnis, like Islamic State, al-Qaeda, Jubhat an-Nusra, Salafists, the Saudi Government and Hamas. There are radical Shiites, like the Iranian government, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Jaysh al-Mahdi, and Asa'ib al-Haqq. Conversely, there are Liberal Muslims and Conservative-but-Gentle Muslims coming from both traditions. This is because the divide between Sunnis and Shiites concerns who has the right to lead the Islamic World more than some doctrinal difference in behavior.

How do Sunnis and Shiites unite?

Answer 1Dictators do not let they unite. the solution is revolution against puppet dictators who control Muslim nations.Answer 2Historically, Sunnis and Shiites have consistently repressed one another and differentiated one from the other. However, more recently, when Sunnis and Shiite have found themselves both out of power (because of Western colonization or the burgeoning growth of Islam in the West itself), they have finally been able to bond over similar issues concerning assimilation with Western society. This increased closeness, while desirable, provides no help to uniting Sunnis and Shiites where they are each in power. The solution, therefore, is obvious, only a Western secularized system of government could foster a union between Sunnis and Shiites, as it has been the only system under which this has ever happened.
