No, No No, these are just the School of Thoughts!

Comment:
not sects at all;

SAMARRA, Iraq - Insurgents posing as police destroyed the golden dome of one of Iraq's holiest Shiite shrines Wednesday, setting off an unprecendented spasm of sectarian violence. Angry crowds thronged the streets, militiamen attacked Sunni mosques, and at least 19 people were killed. With the gleaming dome of the 1,200-year-old Askariya shrine reduced to rubble, some Shiites lashed out at the United States as partly to blame. The violence � many of the 90 attacks on Sunni mosques were carried out by Shiite militias � seemed to push Iraq closer to all-out civil war than at any point in the three years since the U.S.-led overthrow of Saddam Hussein.

All praise is due to Allah, alone.

Dear Brother

That is the result of dividing us amongst groups and sects. We don't know how to agree on the disagreements. However I do think and believe that some one is playing on us and we are following on his/their instructions blindly. A Muslim is not permitted to destroy anyone's shrine or Holy place. So if this is an act of some Muslim then I am afraid he has ceased to be a Muslim.

Salam,

As long as we follow the person who teaches us something other than what Allah Subhana wa taala commands us in Quran, we will be keep fighting;

Every one of us says;

My Imam is better than yours!

My Sects is better than yours!

My Thoughts are better than yours!

My method and manners of religious rituals are better than yours!

My approach is better than yours!

In fact what we say to each other is;

**My Way or HighWay**

There are some groups that claim to be Muslim, but are not accepted as Muslim by most Muslims. For example, neither Sunni nor Shi'a Muslims accept Ahmedis as fellow Muslims. This is also true of other groups as well. An agnostic of Islamic background may refer to him/herself as a "cultural Muslim", but this is likewise unacceptable to most observant Muslims, but it is a common practice especially in secular Muslim countries like Turkey and other parts of the former Ottoman Empire. Some Sunni regard the Shi'a and the ʕAlaw� sects as non-Muslim. There have also been numerous instances in which some Sunni have declared other Sunni to be unbelievers, some Shi'a have declared other Shi'a the same, and so on.

The act of calling another a disbeliever is called takfir.

And we all like doing it.

May Allah bless us all,

ameen.

Alhamdulil'lahi Rabil Alameen,

Ameen.
