What’s the difference between a Sunni and a Shiite? There are many answers to this question that are important for everyone to know the answer to. The main difference between them is there religion. They are both Muslim, but the Shi’ believe that the “Mahdi” has already come and will return again. Meanwhile, the Sunnis believe he has yet to come onto earth. Also, the Al Qaeda leaders are Sunni. Sunnis and Shi’ are very like and there are many reasons why we should know the differences between them. One reason is we should know who are enemy is. The Al Qaeda is a terrorist group opposed the United Sates; therefore, we do not like them. The leaders of Al Qaeda are Sunni. It is important to know that we do not like Sunnis because they have created a terrorist group completely opposing to our country. It is mainly important for our F.B.I. officers, C.I.A. officials, and any other branch of government dealing with crime to know the difference between a Sunni and Shiite. This is because we want to protect our country from terrorism and the best way to do this is for everyone to know right away that a Sunni wants to terrorize our country, and a Shiite does not. If we don’t know the difference between them then that just makes our chances slimmer from protecting our country from the scare and horrors terrorism arises on us.
