Muslim Sunni-Shi'ite divides and confrontations

Guests Dr. Eldad Pardo, Hebrew University of Jerusalem; Amb. Zvi Mazel, Senior Researcher – Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs; and analyst Mr. Amir Oren.

Islam is the most widely followed religion in the Middle East, with some 20% of the religion's population living in the region. A major source of conflict in the Muslim Middle East is the divisive nature between its two main sects: Sunni and Shia.
