One cannot make such a generalization. Both are peaceful groups, but in each, there is a small group that is violent. The same is true for any religious group, or for any group at that matter.

What are the sunny and the shia?
The sunni and the shia are two different branches of Islam. They had the same belief at one point, but then the beliefs changed. Some differencess are, sunnis believe everything in the ocean is halal (halal means clean for Muslims to eat) while shias eat no shelled fish (except for shrimp) or fish without scales. Sunnis cross their arms while praying, shias keep their arms at their sides. Sunnis believe abu bakar was the first caliph after prophet muhammud, shias believe imam ali ( they believe he's prophet muhammud's successor) was the first caliph.
Who does Shia support?
The split between the Shias and the Sunnis is based on one thing: who they believe should be the next caliph. Other than that, they are pretty much the same. Remember that this split occured years ago. The Shias believed that the next caliph should be a blood relative of Prophet Muhammad(sw). The Sunnis believed that the next caliph should be selected my leaders of the Muslim community.
Why all practice of sunnis are anti Quran and shias are per Quran as Sunnis are washing their foot in wuzu while shias doing masah as in quran?
No Muslim, who ever, can claim that Sunnis are anti Quraan and Shias are followers of Quraan or vice versa. Both Sunnis and Shias are Muslims and brothers in Islam. Both worship God the only one God. Both are followers of prophet Mohamed the Messenger of God. Both observing the five Islam Pillars. Both have the same basic Islam beliefs. It is very sinful for any Muslim to accuse another Muslim of being anti Quran. The only differences between Sunnis and and Shias are in the details of some practices and never having differences in the basic pillars of Islam. Now we come to the issue of washing feet for Wuzu (or Wudu). In Quran, said that: "O ye who believe! when ye prepare for prayer, wash your faces and arms to the elbows; wipe partly your heads and (wash) your feet to the ankles" verse 6- chapter 6. In Arabic , grammatically washing is not only for faces and arms but also for feet while wiping is only for heads and partly (not necessarily full head). However, if anyone- whether Sunnis or Shias - has another different view or explanation of the verse (or other prophet saying) than the above, then no other Muslim has the right to accuse him that he is against Quran or that he nonbeliever.
How are sunni and shia diffrent?
They are different in their rituals and practices and in their understanding of who was the successor of Muhammad; Shias say Ali and Sunnis say it was Abu Bakr. They differ in how they pray, with Shias praying with their hands by their side and prostrating on a piece of clay, and they believe in twelve imams, the final one of which who is hiding.
What religious sect in Iraq is causing the US the most trouble is it the Shi'ites Sunni or the Kurds?
That's not really a valid question since Shia and Sunni are beliefes and Kurd is a race of people, but anyway the Kurds are not causing any trouble at all - so that leaves Shias and Sunnis. Between them the sunnis are causing ALL the problem against the US. Take Al-Qaida (sunnis) for instance they hate usa and the shias equally. In fact they have a saying - "kill 10 shias and you will be given a pass to heaven". Doesnt make any sense since the Koran (islams holy book) says killing is prohibited unless it's done in self defense.
How did Muhammad's followers respond to his death?
They split into the Shia and the Sunnis because they didn't know who the leader should be. The Shias believed it should be blood relation, while the Sunnis believed the leader should be chosen.
How might the conflict between sunnis and shias eventually be resolved?
The conflict between Sunnis and Shias can potentially be resolved through dialogue, mutual understanding, and promoting respect for each other's beliefs. Emphasizing common values, fostering interfaith relationships, and encouraging tolerance can help bridge the divide between the two groups. Additionally, efforts to address socio-political grievances and promote inclusive governance can help mitigate sectarian tensions.
Who is shia in Bollywood?
None. Sunnis are very much talented and goodlooking than shias, shias population is one tenth of Sunnis so its rare to find shia celebrity as they are minority. shias are very easy to distinguish, There names easily suggest they are shia as there is only one shia actor I guess is Javed Jaffri. Jaffri is a shia surname plus shias appearances and looks are weird or to extreme, Ugly. There Religious expressions can easily highlight them. Till date bollywood have not come across any famous shia celebrity.
