Shia (/ˈʃiːə/; Arabic: شيعة Shīʿah), an abbreviation of Shīʻatu ʻAlī (شيعة علي, "followers of Ali"), is a branch of Islam which holds that the Islamic prophet Muhammad's proper successor as Caliph was his son-in-law and cousin Ali ibn Abi Talib. Shia Islam primarily contrasts with Sunni Islam, whose adherents believe that Muhammad's father-in-law Abu Bakr was his proper successor.
Adherents of Shia Islam are called Shias or the Shi'a as a collective or Shi'i individually. Shia Islam is the second-largest branch of Islam: in 2009, Shia Muslims constituted 10–13% of the world's Muslim population.Twelver Shia (Ithnā'ashariyyah) is the largest branch of Shia Islam. In 2012 it was estimated that perhaps 85 percent of Shias were Twelvers.
Shia Islam is based on the Quran and the message of the Islamic prophet Muhammad attested in hadith recorded by the Shia, and certain books deemed sacred to the Shia (Nahj al-Balagha). Shia consider Ali to have been divinely appointed as the successor to Muhammad, and as the first Imam. The Shia also extend this "Imami" doctrine to Muhammad's family, the Ahl al-Bayt ("the People of the House"), and certain individuals among his descendants, known as Imams, who they believe possess special spiritual and political authority over the community, infallibility, and other divinely-ordained traits. Although there are myriad Shia subsects, modern Shia Islam has been divided into three main groupings: Twelvers, Ismailis and Zaidis, with Twelver Shia being the largest and most influential group among Shia.
"Want To" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music duo Sugarland. It was released in August 2006 as the first single from the album Enjoy the Ride. It was their first single not to feature former member Kristen Hall, although Jennifer Nettles had previously been featured on Bon Jovi's Number One country hit, "Who Says You Can't Go Home", the song was also the first regular Number One hit of Sugarland's career in the U.S., spending two weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in late 2006. The duo's members, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush, wrote the song along with Bobby Pinson. The song has sold 856,000 copies in the US as of April 2013.
In the Middle East, the battle between the Sunnis and Shiites has been going on for quite some time. With one and a half billion Muslims in the world, it is extremely unlikely that they are ALL involved. In fact, this age-old conflict isn't even about religion.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES Shiite Muslims gathered in the Afghan capital Kabul to mark the holy day of Ashoura. Crowds of men whipped their backs to commemorate the 7th century death of Imam Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson. "He (Imam Hussein) sacrificed his life for all Muslims, not only for Shiites, it was for all Muslims, and today we honour the sacrifices that our beloved prophet's family made for us and we mourn this day," said Ghulam Sakhi, one of the Ashoura mourners. The Shiite mourners congregated in front of the Abul Fazl shrine, where last year an attacker detonated a suicide vest among the crowd of mourners, killing at least 80 people. It was the country's first major sectarian attack since the fall of the Taliban regime. Saturday's commemoration events were held amid tigh...

Sunni and Shia Muslims have enormous conflicts, but the differences between them are frequently misunderstood.

My name looks unfamiliar on this barky marky sign
And the love that I've been gettin' I can't really call it mine
This blacktop ribbon winds me down an unforgivin' road
When I think about my baby on the other side of home
I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, I gotta go
I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh
Hey, hey, hey, on my way
23 days gone by, why can't eagles fly
Hey, hey, hey, love don't break
23 nights of blue carry me back to you
Yeah
Another song gets crippled on this napkin in my lap
As we burn another circle on this god forsaken map
The droaning of the engines and the moaning of the wheels
It's a fortuneteller's melody, it's how you make me feel
I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, I gotta go
I say oh, oh-oh-oh, oooh
Hey, hey, hey, on my way
23 days gone by why can't eagles fly
Hey, hey, hey ,love don't break
23 nights of blue carry me back to you
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Yeah, Albuquerque's never felt colder
One mile higher all the way to Boulder
Okalahoma City always looks pretty
'Cause it's half way home
Yeah, windshield wipers, broken white lines
Lord, don't let me loose my mind
'Cause 23 days of Tennessee time
And I'm back to you
Ooooh, oh-oh-oh, oooh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, on my way
23 days gone by why can't eagles fly
Hey, hey, hey, love don't break
23 nights of blue carry me back to you
Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh
Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh, oh
Whoa-oh, whoa-ooooh
