Theological difference is a gloss on underlying tensions and fears of domination and power struggles. It is sectarian politics and in most places Shias and Sunnis get on fine. I asked a Pakistani friend about this and he said that his family has Shia members, not a problem. bananabrain

Its not about real Muslims. You either are one or you are not. I dont believe most Shiites are Muslims. Especially the IRanian brand.
