what are the main differences between sunni and shia? ibadi?
>>304763
Sunni: Caliph should not be related to Muhammed, Imams are just mosque leaders
Shia: Caliph should be a descendant of Muhammed. Shia supported Ali as caliph after Muhammed's death, but Ali and his followers were killed. Also, Shia believe Imams have considerable power.
Ibadi: All I know about Ibadi is that they apparently supported Ali as successor to Muhammed but had some disagreements with Shia
Shia's think that the leaders who came after the Prophet did not have the right to rule, that his son in law, Ali, should of been the guy to inherit the Muslim caliphate after his death. He got it at the end of his life, but he was usurped pretty quick.
They also believe that the ability to be able to speak to god is passed down, and that there is always one individual on earth who is in direct communication with god.
This does not get on well with Sunnis because Mohammad said he was the last prophet

Sunni: supports radicalization and Islam supremacy
Shia: supports secularization, separation of church and state, and is willing to consider co-existence with other religions

Update: Wrong about Ibadis
Pic related is their beliefs

>upports secularization, separation of church and state
Dude Iran is headed by an Imam
>>304811
Both Sunni and Shia have radicals, modernists, philosophers and moderates - It ain't tied to one or the other
>>304814
Ahmahdinajad ain't no imam
>>304833
But the Supreme Leader is.

These Ibadis seem pretty cool. Are they as violent as the Sunnis and Shi'a seem to be these days? What about the strictness of their shariah?

Oman is the only Ibadi majority country
Oman is pretty fucking cool compared to literally the rest of Arabia. Like Yemen they have no Oil money but unlike yemen they decided not to be mad and civil-wary about it.
>>304875
According to Wikipedia they seem quite chill.
They are the majority in Oman today, so I guess that says something.
>>304909
Going further on this, Oman is strictly opposed to Islamism and abhors terror. They also try to keep neutrality in international issues (like a middle eastern Switzerland) and is pretty much the only Arab state with strong ties to Iran, the United States, and also a benevolent policy towards Israel.
>>304927
they also had a maritime empire and where a massive pain in the ass for the Portuguese and British
>>304927
Man I was Fucking pissed when I got told I'd have Oman, but I'm grateful I got to learn a lot about a pretty cool forgotten country. I encourage you to read up about it yourself.

Ali became a caliph later on, dude

>scumbag Iranian detected
Fuck off you, Ayatollah sucking cunt. Shia radicalize just as quickly as Sunni when faced with any sort of conflict. Look at Hezbollah or how Iran literally just spammed Iraqi mine fields with 10 year olds holding the Quran
Does /his/ know anything about the Alevi of Anatolia?
