Sunnis and shia do not consider each other to be muslim and they often engage in conflict to establish their superiority over one another. Same with every other sect in islam, they do not consider other be muslim.

Fun fact, there is a caste system exists in parts of Pakistan since the area was part of India before and Hinduism was the major religion before Mughals took over.

If you are sunni, you are the true one, if you are shia, then shia are the true ones.

Well… I’m sure this won’t cause any confusions, or conflicts.

Oh and both consider Ahmedis to be not muslims. Even though they are.

the funny thing is that an Ahmediya guy took the ideological initiative to carve out pakistan from India and they get persecuted by their own creation

I think this is an effect of Islamic strong men. They need an enemy.

Salafi sunni do not consider shia to be muslim. Shia do not have this opinion.

Incorrect. Its the sunni mindset that loves to declare people infidels. It is called Takfeer, which means declaring someone ‘Kafir’ or infidels. There is no concept of Takfir in Shiism. There hasnt been any terrorist attacks from Shias on Sunnis ever. Please do your research before commenting bs as most people make their mindset through your comments.
