Ignorant and lazy is no way to go through life. It took me less than one minute to find this for your edification (if such were possible).
You cannot even take one minute to challenge your own preconceived notions ... I mean, that might require learning something!
Sunnis are a majority in most Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, China, South Asia, Africa, most of the Arab World, and among Muslims in the United States (of which 85–90% are Sunnis).

Oooopppsss
looks like Dump-alumpacus may have spoke too fast... Or rather should have taken his own advise about looking past you own preconceived ideas.
Again, look at what I said not what you are arguing. I said Muslims are not splintered like Christians (meaning Christianity has been subdivided into 30K different sects. with 30K different rule sets.) Islam has 4 divisions. The primary being sunni Islam (which contain 90% of the world population of muslims.) these 4 divisions in no way compare to the 30K of Christianity.
I then said the majority of the US population is indeed Sunni... Which is the Same Sunni that contain ISIS fighters.
The schools of law subdivision with in the sunni religion are not 'denominational' differences as Baptist Methodist Catholic share with in Christianity. (meaning we are right and all other groups are wrong.) The schools of law in Sunni Islam govern the different 'callings' or Madhhab. "The differences between these schools of thought manifest in some practical and philosophical differences. Sunnis generally do not identify themselves with a particular school of thought, simply calling themselves "Muslims" or "Sunnis," but the populations in certain regions will often - whether intentionally or unintentionally - follow the views of one school while respecting others."

So again, Not a denominational difference, but acceptance between the different Madhhab. Those Madhhab manifest themselves in the 3 prescribed ways to full fill their great commission I outlined yesterday
There are laws that govern the intellectual/evangelist laws that govern the breeder/family man, and laws that govern the Jihadist. The laws do not contradict nor do they circumvent each other. They simply speak to the philosphy of Islam a muslim is seeking to live out.
So again if a Sunni Muslim receives direction or mandate like from the Imam in the channel 9 video this would be a kin to a bishop or cardinal coming to a local church and telling the congregation to "kill all gays, don't be ashamed this is what God demands and it is their only way to be redeemed." If in fact 90% of all Christianity were indeed catholic.
