As we all know problem is already out there...it would only be appreciated though...if u have any solution for this issue..

Start small. Why are we, in this FORUM, brothers in Islam, and yet label ourselves as "Hanafi" and Shafi'i, etc? Why are we segregating ourselves even at the small points that have nothing to do with the core? What USE does this segregation serve other than to divide Islam?

And the Shiia and Sunni getting together is not a battle for this forum or even for today -- the cracks between Muslim brother are big and deep! Notice that nobody here in this forum would refer to Shiia as our brothers in Islam because they almost consider them to be a different religion. Perfect example is the person that posted the 2nd map saying it is more 'Correct', as if that kind of division is more proper than other divisions.

People have to free themselves of the herd instinct of following the crowd and get rid of the mentality of "them vs us". Throw out the differences and embrace the common core. I admit, it is a utopia vision in such a messed up situation that we live in now... but that is how I feel and that is why I despise those "books" that only create conflict...
