Question: what is the difference between sunni shia and kurds?
Answer: The Shiites and Sunnis are ethnically Arabs (that is, they speak Arabic and share a common culture). Kurds are not Arabs; they have their own culture and language. Most Kurds are Sunni Muslims. ... Supporters of Ali became Shiites or "followers of Ali." Some 90 percent of the world's Muslims today are Sunnis.
