It all begins with who Muhammad tapped as his successor. After his death in 632, one group (Sunns) backed this cat named Abu Bakr (Muhammad's friend) and another (Shi'a) backed Ali ibn Abi Talib (Muhammad's son-in-law).

And so thirty years after the death of Muhammad, be prepared to gasp in astonishment, the two factions fought a war about it. About two decades after that, they fought ANOTHER war about it.

No kidding, their internal shit is just as retarded as the spat between the United Atheist Alliance, Allied Atheist Allegiance and Unified Atheist League in that Southpark episode.
