How and why do Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims differ?

History
1 answer:
Kitty [74]2 years ago

Answer:

The main difference is their view on who Muhammad's successor should/should've been.

The people that believed that anyone with the right qualifications could take over insisted that Muhammad's father in law and friend, Abu Bakr, success him and became known as the Sunni.

The people who insisted that only someone blood related to Muhammad could take over, they wanted Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law, Ali ibn Abi Talib, to take over; and they became known as the Shi'ite.

They both follow the foundational practices and beliefs (Fice Pillars) of Islam though there are differences in the way they do some things and their views on the world. For example: Shi'ite Muslims complete all five daily ritual prayers but squeeze them into three sessions instead of five. Shi'ite Muslims also believe in the 'ten obligatory acts' in addition to the Five Pillars.

What leader ship quality that you believe is most important did Franklin D. Roosevelt demonstrate or fail to demonstrate?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

For me, the most important character that Franklin D. Roosevelt demonstrated is "charisma."

Explanation:

<em>Franklin D. Roosevelt is America's 32nd president.</em> He was a charming man who stood at 6 feet height. Being good-looking made him able to connect with different people. This charisma made him very confident. Together with a good tone of his voice, Franklin D. Roosevelt reassured the people and this made him very popular. The fact that he had a good image made him build up his confidence, thus it was easy for him to disagree with matters even with his superiors.

Such leadership quality made him an important figure in the society. It truly inspired people and they followed him sincerely.  Being charismatic is an important quality of a leader, since he needs to negotiate with other countries regarding several matters.

Answer:

Explanation:

If this is the cold war, then these people were of some influence. Children were influenced by teachers. Labor leaders could lead strikes that would cripple parts of America that were dependent on labor. Government workers could do two things:

1) They could pass on information that the Government of America would not really like passed on.

2) They could influence other Government workers to see the world that they (the instigators) did.

That was the second time in the 20th century that people in certain professions were targeted and made to answer for their political beliefs. The other instance was during the McCarthy era where Joseph McCarthy went after people in high positions. Movie stars, movie directors, and movie writers were all fingered. Their courage was tested: all they had to do was name someone who was also a member of the Communist Party. McCarthy was brought down, but the hatred he generated lingered on.

Was all this right? The most sacred part of the Constitution of the United States is the First Amendment. Many have died for it, believing strongly in its sanctity. Many of those accused of being communists were ordinary citizens exercising their right to speak. The did not threaten to overthrow the government. They only wanted everyone to be treated fairly and not be subjected to the brutality of those in power.

It is never right to loose your livelihood for peacefully expressing your opinion.

There is some connection between the work of Martin Luther King Jr. and the McCarthy hate movement.  J. Edger Hoover always had it in for King and tried very hard to make the connection between King and the Communist party stick. Fortunately he couldn't

The first time was after the first world war. I don't know much about this, but I do know that it was a brutal time and the confrontation between labor and the government officials was oppressive and many lost freedoms, family and jobs over the conflict. Try to find Attorney General Palmer to learn more.
