[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend has killed more Muslims than anyone here. 20+ year infantry/artillery officer with many tours.  He tells that Islam is very similar to Christianity, love your neighbors, seek forgiveness, repent, etc. He says you have to dig deep to find the violent justification, and that has been a recent political perversion.

He also said Sunnis and Shiites are closer than, say, catholics and protestants, and normally the Shiites are the crazier ones. The hundreds of millions of muslums in Indonesia, for example, don't consider themselves Shiites or Sunnis.[/quote]

99% of Muslims in Indonesia do consider themselves Sunnis. Your friend is right that most religions teach that you should love your neighbor, who is likely to be your co-religionist anyway--it's in how you treat the "other", the non-Muslim or the non-Christian, where there's a difference. Also, Sunnis and Shiites are closer that Catholics and Protestants - what? True, Catholics and Protestants were at each other's throats in a number of wars historically, and more recently in Ireland, but as a general rule the days of blowing up each other's churches, or Protestant and Catholic states funding armies against each other, are a thing of the past. Thank goodness.[/quote]

Misunderstood.  Closer in doctrine.[/quote]

Oh my. I think you should refrain from speaking for actual Shiites and Sunnis about their doctrines. It goes beyond the Party of Ali.[/quote]
