The Shi’a and Sunni are the two great branches within Islam. Their separation grew out of a dispute over who was the legitimate successor to the Prophet Muhammad (see
Chapter 3
). The Shi’a are a majority in four Muslim nations—Iran, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, and Iraq. The Sunni are the majority in the others.
