WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SHIITE ISLAM AND SUNNI ISLAM?
The difference between these two major sects is that they disagree about the legitimate successors of Mohammed. About 85 percent of all Muslims are Sunni and only 10 percent of the Muslim world is Shi’ite. (The remaining 5 percent are affiliated with other, minor sects.) ARE ALL MUSLIMS RADICALS? No. Although Shi’ites tend to be more radical, the average Muslim is like the average Christian. They know enough to call themselves Muslims, but basically they are materialistic, want a good job, and hope to live a good comfortable life. DO MUSLIMS UNDERSTAND WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS ALL ABOUT? The average Muslim around the world has a tremendous misunderstanding of Christianity. This is largely due to fact that their only understanding of Christianity comes from movies and television shows such as “90210,” “Dallas,” “Dynasty,” etc. Because they believe America is a Christian nation, they assume everything that comes out of America is Christian. HOW DO THEY VIEW CHRISTIANITY? Muslims think Christ
