I think it's rather dumb that this happens. Shia and Sunni people are both Muslims, and they should know better than to fight over their own religion. And that doesn't look good on Mulims if we fight over our own sects. That could show other people that Muslims aren't sure is one religion if people are fighting over Islam. Not only is fighting bad, but the fact that some people died make in even worse!
