Just like civilians in Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 but we killed over 500,000 of them and called it collateral damage.[/quote]
Why are you changing the subject?  Christians, Armenians and Yazidis weren't collateral damage for ISIS and you know that perfectly well. Collateral damage is what happens when you don't mean to kill but do.  ISIS targeted Christians, Armenians and Yazidis deliberately.  You know that also. Your comparison is entirely unwarranted.

Well, I don't know how any Muslim can just declare the blood and wealth of another human being let alone Shia halal. I am Sunni and would never ever dream than anyone's blood is halal. Anyone can say anything, doesn't make it so. So the fact that it is written in a book somewhere in Saudi Arabia or Arizona doesn't make it so. The Shia-Sunni issue goes beyond the scope of this thread and can't be summarized in a few lines, but your approach is very simplistic! Sunnis and Shias have lived in perfect harmony for years, and still do in many areas of the world today. The original split of Muslims in the first place, that gave birth to Sunnis and Shias was Political not Religious, so to make this just a matter of Religion is misleading![/quote]
You wouldn't dream of it? What does it matter what you dream about?  "A book written somewhere in Saudi Arabia or Arizona"? Are you deliberately being dense or what? It's not a book written "somewhere".  It's an official textbook used by all, yes ALL schoolchildren in public schools of Saudi Arabia, in all schools in the country of the major Sunni power that has successfully sold its version of Islam around the world because it could afford to do so.  Oh, and don't forget all Saudi-sponsored Islamic schools around the world. If you have never seen it, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Please do name "many" areas of the world today where Sunnis and Shia live in perfect harmony today.  Might that be KSA? Where Shias are marginalized and kept from the army, government, diplomatic corps and any position of importance? Might that be Bahrain? Where the peaceful Shia MAJORITY population was sprayed with bullets when they asked for more power? Might that be Pakistan or Afghanistan, where bombs routinely go off in Shia mosques and markets?

Yes, the original split of Muslims was political in the first place.  But it has since been very well-metabolized into the Sunni religious discourse. If you're Sunni, you should know it. [/quote]
