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.

Misunderstood. Closer in doctrine.

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

I have seen this a dozen times. "How dare those [insert group here] do that to me. Who do they think they are?? I will show them!"

The fact they were Muslim may not have been the primary reason, but I am sure it factored into his rage. There is no doubt in my mind.

They want to send investigators with bombs strapped on their backs! We need to stop coddling these fucking psychos and tell them to deal with the shit in their own backyard. The US can deal with the shit in theirs. I sure don't see them sending "investigators" to Paris or Denmark! I doubt this NC incident was an act of terror or a even hate crime-but even if it is, do they really think they are the only ones who can continuously kill people in the name of religion and be immune from retaliation. It is just ridiculous!
