The widespread believe in the mainstream mind, is that Islam is one thing; a "central" ideology that is believed to be true by 1 & a half Billion.
But the truth cannot be any close to this, than water's closeness to acid.
Islam in reality, is actually more 2 religions, each claims being original, and each claims being authentic. The ideology differs so much between the distinct religions, furthermore they are spread in specific geographical locations that add a nationalistic/racist side to them, let alone the tribal nature that each version of Islam has.
In direct & strange act of embedded blasphemy, central "councils" act as the main referential of the chosen faith; the leaders and big figures in each referential are the main motivators for the wheel of the faith; keeping it fresh through a system known as "the fatwa system"; that is, a system of issuing a certain order to the followers of the faith in order to execute.
As interesting as this might get, let's discuss the biggest religions:
1-Shia Islam:
This religion is mainly the conclusion of a noble family's misery and grief; the Prophet of Islam -Mohammed-'s daughter -Fatima-, marrying Mohammed's cousin -Ali-, gave birth to two male kids: Hassan & Hussain.
Their father, Ali, was chosen as the man in charge -caliphate; leader- in the newborn Islamic empire, since Ali came to the throne right after an assassination that took the life of the previous caliphate -Othman Ibn Affan-, Ali faced a pretty tight situation:
1-He must find the killers of the previous Caliphate, before the caliphate's tribe revolt
2-He must fix the disasters that Othman did in terms of wealth destitution
3-He must build a strong council
Ali chose cutthroats and wackos for allies -Whom would later turn into the infamous "Khawarij"-. As Ali proved failiure in ruling, he failed in all three objective: he delayed the investigation in the murder, he failed to fix what Othman did, and he failed in controlling his council.
He was confronted by the Prophet's widow; Aisha, the mother of all Muslims, his followers -well known for their brutality-, led the battle that was known as "the battle of the camel", despite the Quran's mentioning of the position of the prophet's wife -being the mother of all Muslims; including Ali-. 8000 from Aisha's army was killed.
Ali -consumed in his failure- couldn't hold, and another leader from the family of the ex-caliphate Othman came to power, Ali was assassinated, Aisha's companions were assassinated too, and Ali's son -Hussain- was assassinated too. During these troubled times, Mecca and the "Ka'aba" was bombarded with catapults; in a terrible unholy action.
The remnants of Ali & Hussain companions formed the Shia cult, with the word "Shia" means "the group of"; summing up their name to be "The Shia of Ali; The Shia of the Prophet's household". Or as it is pronounced in Arabic "Ahl-Al bayt".
They believe that there are "12 Imams"/Successors that would inherit each other and nobody but them should be obeyed; until they are finished with the "Mehdi" who would fill earth with the blood of the followers of Aisha. (if the Imam currently absent, a representative from the prophet's family is chosen; like a royal system).
Indeed, we can observe the tribal aspect in this cult.
2-Sunna faith:
The Sunna faith is the opposite of the Shia: Sunna are the people who either stood with the new leader who replaced Ali, or with Aisha,or the people who quit the warfare that was happening, and the people who blamed both parties -Aisha, Ali & Othman- for committing mistakes.
Sunnies too believe that the caliphate that should be obeyed must satisfy a tribal feature: coming from the tribe of "Quraish"; the same tribe that inhabited Mecca and gave birth to the Prophet.
The majority of Sunnies believe in the advent of the "Mehdi"too, but unlike Shia, they don't have an obsessive compulsive disorder regarding the Mehdi butchering the Shia; though cults like the Wahhabi cult, view Shia as infidels that should be butchered.

3-Both parties smell bad:
Shia smell the worst, but each party is built on racist fundamentals, without tribalism and racism, both cults will never exist, it's a case of a religion that got mixed with tribal warfare between ancient Arabic noble clans. No wonder they can't agree.
Shia obviously lost over the long run -since the Shia cult is literally all about combating the followers of Aisha-, while the Sunni cult is pulvarising Islam through the worship of the tribe of "Quraish".
Frankly, I, despite going back to "Quraish", feel so sick, and choose to throw both cults behind my back, and fight their racism instead.
