Dianavan,

I am posting somewhat off topic to say that I take exception to the negative phrasing of the title for this thread.

First off, from a strictly grammatical sense, I'm not sure 'who' is applicable for divisions of a particular religion.

Secondly, "Who is worse-Sunnis or Shiites seems on par with a question starting from a negative premise like "When was the last time you beat your wife?".

If someone asked "Who is worse the Methodist or the Baptist?" wouldn't you take exception to that?

BTW, [not that it matters, but for the record]I am not now nor have I ever been a Muslim although some people have mistaken me as a member of that religion because my first name is similar to the Arabic female name "Aziza" and the Arabic male name "Aziz".

On the other hand, I have read that the word 'Muslim' means"one who submits to the will of God". In that context only I would consider myself a Muslim.
