Look, I am not going to go back and forth with you on the Sunni , Shias and Saudi Arabia's hate for shias. You are the same poster who always brings this into any discussion about Islam or Muslims, you don't get it and will never do,  so it is pointless and sterile and I don't like to waste my time.  Shias have been mistreated in some majority Sunni countries, the same way Sunnis have been mistreated in majority shia countries, the same way, the US, Europe, Asia has been mistreating their own minorities for decades. It is a human problem! Saudi Arabia teaches wahabism and that is reflected in their textbooks, and some did refer to shias as Mushreeks. Most of the Sunnis believe that Shias are misguided, not Mushreek. My grandfather follows wahabism, his wives dress all in black and in niqab, but that is their choice and  they are the most loving people that I know. We do not have hatred in or hearts for shias , just because they are shias, shias and sunnis live in harmony in many places in the world and have done so for centuries . Of course in areas where they fight for political gains, the control of institution, they clash, but the majority of Sunni Muslims don't walk around looking for a shia to kill. [/quote]
I love how you first say that I'm not gonna get it, and in the next breath you actually confirm what I say - that most Sunnis consider the Shias "misguided", incomplete Muslims.   Do we actually have the confirmation from you, the Sunni Muslim, that the mainstream Sunni discourse looks down on the Shia? Is that the political view or a religious view? Glory be!

There is no such thing as majority Shia countrieS.  Before the Iraq invasion, the only country that met this standard was Iran. Iran does mistreat their Sunnis but the religious discourse in Shiaism does not see Sunnis as sub-human.

I am still waiting for you to list places, "many places in the world", where Shias and Sunnis have lived in harmony "for centuries."

Of course the majority of Sunni Muslims don't walk around looking for a Shia to kill.  They just don't see Shia as a fitting choice for any position of power, even in Shia-majority but Sunni-ruled countries. [/quote]
