[quote=Anonymous]For the curious DCUM folks, although something is telling me this synopsis is unnecessary, given the overall level of posters' education:

Many Sunnis view Shia Muslims with varying degrees of distrust, from considering them mildly misguided to casting them outside the fold of Islam. At the extreme end of this is the Wahhabi ideology fueled by the Al-Saud that spends millions of dollars annually to spread it across the globe. This virulent strain calls Shia Muslims "rafidah", i.e. "those who reject", referring to the Shias' original rejection of Abu Bakr as the first caliph - a post they think should have gone to Ali as the prophet's only surviving male relative.  Radical Sunnis reserve a special kind of hatred for the Shia, more so than for Christians and Jews who can be tolerated, vs. the Shia who have to be simply killed.  You can see this virulent strain in the actions of ISIS and every other extreme Sunni group worldwide. Any time you see someone say something like "Shias aren't real Muslims", know this: you are talking to someone who is only cosmetically different from the ISIS ideologues. [/quote]
