ESSAY ON: Similarities And Differences Between Sunnis And Shi'ites

Number of Pages 7

This research paper: 7 pages in length. Aside from their defense of respective nationalistic identity, the primary difference between Sunnis and Shi'ites is how the former respects the fundamentality of power in a pragmatic sense as opposed to how the latter looks at it as it should be within the context of an ideal world. It is important to point out, however, that these differences did not always define the relationship between Sunnis and Shi'ites, who lived peacefully as interwoven offspring of mixed families until the social, cultural and political upheaval that accompanied Muhammad's death. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
