Transcript: The divide between the two major branches of Islam has lasted for centuries -- and the schism is not always just a religious one. It began when the Prophet Muhammad died in 632 A.D. and a clash erupted over who should succeed him. One side, which became the Shiites, believed Muhammad’s successor should be someone from his bloodline; those who spawned the Sunnis held it could be a pious individual who could follow Muhammad’s customs. Yesterday at 12 o'clock two extreme groups of Shia and Sunni Muslims met during a demonstration and that's when all started.

A reason that the government loathed the Hazara people is they are Shiite Muslims. This war is mostly over ethnicicity. The Pashtun people are Sunni Muslims and are willing to do anything to wipe out the Hazara people. The conflict kept going because the Hazara people were willing to fight for their rights and property.

It also said some things I did know, like that people called Hazaras mice-eating, flat-nosed, load-carrying donkeys." $1.25 "It doesn't matter, if he's Pashtun or Hazara. What matters is that we somehow managed to cooperate together and help other person. Maybe in the future this long confict will finally end and seing Pashtun and Hazana people together won't be so suprising", said one of the boys.
