Just because two opposing sides in a war belong to two different religions (or different branches of a religion) does not mean that the fight is necessarily fueled by religion. Of course there will be bad apples that fight for all the wrong reasons, but they do not represent the whole, just the same way you have similar cases in every war on every side.
Does this justify death and discrimination? No, not at all, but let's not make it religious and keep it in the realm of politics.
>Countless crimes against Sunnis in the process
The Iraq-Iran war was pretty nasty too, especially for shias. Are we going to ignore that?
Or how shias are being discriminated against around the world?
I'm sure we could go on forever if we were both going to list the discrimination and murders of shias and sunnis, but I think we can both agree that none of it should have happened in the first place, and those that actively hurt their fellow brothers have got Islam all wrong.
This isn't a shia v. sunni thing, it's very much a small part of a much bigger problem that has nothing to do with who thinks which caliph should have been first. I pray that you see that.
