 * //For a very long time, the Sunnis had political and religious power. However, when the Abbasids, who were Shiites, got into power in 750 A.D. we controlled the Islamic empire for hundreds of years.// ||

 * //We live by the Qurran and, like most Muslims, do not eat pork. We cover most of our bodies with clothing, especially the women. We celebrate Muslim holidays such as Ramadan.// ||

 * Since we are a Muslim group, we are all Muslim. Muslims believe that there was a Prophet named Muhhamad who ​spread the word about Allah, our God. We believe that after the Prophet Muhhamad died, Ali should have been named caliph, not Abu Bakr. The Sunnis, another Muslim group, thought that Abu Bakr was suppose to be caliph. This made us and the Sunnis split into two different sects of Islam. ||

The Prophet Muhhamad has died today and it is a very sad occasion. We believe that he may have been poisoned but we are not sure yet. If he was poisoned, then Allah will surely punnish the people who did this to him. Now we must choose Ali to be the first caliph. He will be very pleased with this.

632 This is an outrage! How could people let Abu Bakr become caliph? It should be Ali. Because of this, we Muslims have divided into two groups, the Shiites, who think Ali should be caliph, and Sunnis, who think it should be Abu Bakr.

656 || Finally! Ali is the fourth caliph. It's about time.
