It's not a conflict, it's different opinions..
As for Shia and Sunni ect. Unless they have a belief supported by evidence Quraan and sunna and Hadith that was not contain a lier telling it, it's invalid.
So again, two Muslim scholars may take opposite positions on the same idea, right?
In Christianity, we do this all the time. So we have lots of sects. But killing over sectarian differences isn't really the norm in the Christian world.
As for fighting, yes it's wrong just like any fighting and conflict is wrong, just like the 1st and 2nd world war is wrong, that's when people are willing to destroy others for only the gains that they expect, and I'm praying for them to stop it and instead except the differences, and please don't laugh it's not funny, when your people is killing each other for stupid reasons it's not funny at all..
People killing each other is sad at best, and horrifying at worst.
But so much of this is cultural, not religious.
I am Muslim because I studied it, I study it from different aspects and different sources to finally form my belief structure, and did not only follow my family beliefs, in fact when I was a kid I hated Islam because my parents where strict and emotionally neglectant, so I was quite open to many other options, but I finally chose Islam..
Great. I applaud you for your effort to find out for yourself.
And if you had left, would you have been killed like happened to a pair of girls not far from where I live (and the father got away with help of other Muslims)? Can people leave, truly? Isn't there rules against that?
And are honor killings, honor rapes, burkhas, etc Muslim or misguided culture? I have never heard of a Christian honor killing......
As I said, I have never had a problem with any Muslims I have met personally. I have been friends with Pakis, Persians, Saudis, Iraqis, Egyptians, Lebanese, Syrians, and a few others.
Of course, they were most all very secularized......none of them did daily prayers.....
But there is nonetheless a great section that supports jihadism and terrorism, that openly operates in mosques, recruiting and radicalizing. Do you deny this exists?
