34 Division of the Sunni and Shia Muslims
SS7G8d

35 What is the reason for the division between the Sunni and Shia Muslims?
Both Sunni and Shia Muslims share the most fundamental Islamic beliefs and articles of faith. The differences between these two main sub-groups within Islam initially stemmed not from spiritual differences, but political ones. Over the centuries, however, these political differences have spawned a number of varying practices and positions which have come to carry a spiritual significance.

36 The division between Shia and Sunni dates back to the death of the Prophet Muhammad, and the question of who was to take over the leadership of the Muslim nation. Sunni Muslims believe that the new leader should be elected from among those capable of the job. The word "Sunni" in Arabic comes from a word meaning "one who follows the traditions of the Prophet."

37 On the other hand, some Muslims, the Shia share the belief that leadership should have stayed within the Prophet's own family, among those specifically appointed by him, or among Imams appointed by God Himself.

38 Sunni- Believe that the leader should be elected (political)
Sunni- Believe that the leader should be elected (political). The most capable to do the job. Shia- Believe that leadership is divine and inherited (spiritual). Must be a descendant of the prophet Muhammad.

39 The reason for division between Sunni and Shia Muslims is based on the issue of
a. the issue of women’s rights within the religion b. who should control the natural resources of the region c. who should succeed Muhammad as leader or caliph after his death d. where the geographic center of the Islamic world should be located

41 How are ethnic and religious groups different?
Religious groups share a common belief system, but are not necessarily composed of a single ethnic group. Ethnic groups share many common characteristics, such as language, physical appearance, customs, and traditions.

42 Conflict Between Ethnic Groups
Trouble also occurs when different ethnic groups come into conflict. For example, like most people in the region, Iraqis are descendants of Arabs who spread out from the Arabian Peninsula in the 600’s. Most Iranians, however, are Persian, people originally from Central Asia who have lived on the Iranian plateau for 3,000 years. Arabs and Persians have different histories and speak different languages. These differences contribute to conflicts between Iran and Iraq.

43 Kurds Most Kurds are found in the mountainous areas where Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq come together. They speak their own language called Kurdish, and have a separate history, literature, music, and set of traditions. Many Kurds hope to have a nation of their own some day, a hope that has caused conflict with the countries in which Kurdish people live. Most Kurds are Sunni Muslim with small minorities of Shia Muslims and Yazidis. Women, in traditional Kurdish dress, dance during a wedding party in what they hope to one day be called Kurdistan.

44 Persians Most Persians live in the modern country of Iran where they are the most populous ethnic group. They are different from Arabs and Jews in that their ancestors came from Central Europe and Southern Russia The country of Persia became known as Iran after WWI. Persians speak Farsi, a language that uses the Arabic alphabet but is actually spoken differently. Most Persians are Shia Muslims even though Shia Muslims only make up about 15% of the world’s Muslim population. Zoroastrianism is one of the minor religions of the Persian people. Persian family from northern Iran

45 Arabs Arabs are the most populous ethnic group in the Middle East.
Arabs believe themselves to be descendants of Abraham through his son Ishmael and originally from the Arabian Peninsula. They speak Arabic. Most Arabs are Muslims, with the majority being Sunni Muslim. However, there are many Christian Arabs as well, especially in the countries of Lebanon and Egypt. Arabs escape the Gaza strip into Egypt for much needed supplies.
