Religious Conflict

A reader comments on the conflict between Shiite and Sunni:

Your link to the article regarding Muslim on Muslim violence made for fascinating reading. This passage struck me; "The major difference is that for Shi`is he has already been here, and will return from hiding; for Sunnis he has yet to emerge into history: a comeback v. a coming out, if you will." Sound familiar?

It is unfortunate that the ill-begotten fruit of Abraham’s loins cannot extend the same respect and tender sentiments toward each other that Christians have historically demonstrated toward the Jews.
