I learnt Shiite muslims are the followers of Ali.
What make Shiites believe in Ali?
Some Sunnis say that Shiites are not really Muslims. Why is that?
Could you please explain with some exmaples.
Thank you.
The disputations between Sunni and Shiite are over the succession of the califate. The Shiites believe that a descendent of the prophet (Ali was the nearest descendent) and according to the Shiites the rightful calif which they call an Imam. The closest companions of Mohammed took a vote and elected Malik (I think his name was but my Islamic history is very rusty). Sunnis believe the succession of the califate is an electoral issue not a hereditery inheritance.
Shiites worship poop.
Sunnis worship sunkist raisins.

Well it’s not too important to me because I think it’s all Shiite.
If you have heard of the 34,000 different types of christians, or even just the conflict between everbody else and the catholics about whether they are really christian, then the whole Shiite versus Sunni thing shouldn’t be very difficult to understand.

Shiism is a cult, and minority, they do lots of peculiar things, and their teachings are misguided basing on hate and revenge. It was started by a Jewish apostate to split the Muslim community. They beat themselves up, curse and swear, wail at graveyards ectra..
And advise of the Prophet, pbuh, to all Muslims:
The holy Prophet(Sallal laahu alaihi wasallam) said "Without doubt my Ummah will never be gathered in misguidance. Whenever you see disagreement, then hold fast to the Sawad-e-Azam (the great majority)" [Ibne Majah]

Shit-ies believe that Allah made a mistake and that Ali should have been the prophet. They also sometimes call upon Ali and Hussein (which is Shirk). They also beat the crap put of them selves in the mosque (which is a sin). They also have many sects (Ismaelism, Druze, Ahmedya). I don’t understand how they are Muslims when they are completely against the Koran.
Sunnies are the followers of Muhammed. It is a simple sect, they do whatever Muhammed used to do. They do not have any offshoots and other sects.
Druze is an offshoot of Ismaelism (which is a kind of Shittiesm), almost like Shia. But they don’t do all the crap that Shia do.
Suffies are more like a cult. They can be Sunnies, Shia, Druze, or Ismaelies, but they are always worshiping, and they do not think about life. They always think about the second life. (They are very peace full).
