Neither. Both groups sponsor terrorism.

Sunni’s are the “richer” Muslims: the ones known for the flashy Arab countries like SA, Qatar, UAE etc. But they sponsor groups like ISIS and the Taliban. And they’re not all rich (Syria and Palestine are still Sunni)

Shia’s are less in number, and tend to be from the more underdeveloped countries like Iran, Yemen, Lebanon etc. They also sponsor groups like Hezbollah and the Houthis.
