Sunni Vs. Shi'A

There are many ways that Sunni and Shi'a are different. The Sunni believe that Allah has a body, where as the Shi'a think that he/she has no body, always in spirit form, per say. The Shi'a doubt the authenticity of the Qu'ran, so they changed it a little bit to match their beliefs, the Sunni have full faith in the Qu'ran being authentic, therefore they let it be. The Shi'a think the leader of Muslims should be directly related to Muhammed, where the Sunni think that the people should vote. Also, it is known that Sunni are much more violent, where as Shi'a are peaceful. In the past few years, with the terrist attacks and the war, the Shi'a have not fought at all.

I think that the Sunni have an upside to choseing the caliph. I say this because the Sunni have a more reasonable system of choosing a leader. The Sunni think that it's best for the people to decide their leader. I agree with this method, and it makes much more sence. Now, for the sake of argument, lets just say that I am related to Muhammed, that doesn't give me the right to rule all muslims. I may not be a good leader, I may be a crazy lunitic. There are so many ways that it just doesn't make sence. When there is voting, the people can choose the proper candidate for the job, so it's much more fair.

To sum it all up, there are many differences between the Sunni and the Shi'a, such as the way they work their religion, and the way that they think and act. Also, from my point of view, the Sunni have a better chance of deciding how the caliph is chosen.
