The majority of Persians (today, that's Iran and Iraq) are Shia Muslims.
Iran and Iraq consist of primarily Muslims adhering to the Shiite (or Shia) sect of the Islamic religion. In Iran, about 90% of people are Shia (the rest being Sunni), and in Iraq, about 55% are Shia, and 45% are Sunni (with ethnic Kurds being 15% Sunnis of total population of Iraq).
The countries where there are more Shia than Sunni and where sunni muslims are persecuted for their beliefs are mainly Iran and Iraq, where the shiia population is over 90%
Sunni Islam and Shia Islam.
Yes the Muslims there are 70% shia and 30% sunni
I think they are the Shia Sunni and Kurds or possibly Sufi
Sunni
The Shia (Shiite) and Sunni
for Shia Islam Iran and Iraq for sunni Islam Egypt and Saudi Arabia
In all Muslim countries. percentage of shia and sunni differ in each Muslim country. for example Saudi Arabia and Egypt are mainly Sunni and Iran and Iraq are mainly Shia.
I would assume there are more Sunni Muslims in Austria than Shia Muslims as in general the split is around 90% Sunni and 10% Shia worldwide. Shia's are mostly found in countries like Iran, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan. So they are a minority sect unlike the Sunni's who are mainstream and represent orthodox Islam.
