It is extremely important to know the difference between a Sunni and Shiite. We need to be able to predict what other people around us are going to do if there are issues. We are fighting in the Muslim world in the Middle East. We need to know our enemy and our friends. It is unacceptable for anyone to not know one or two basic differences. The biggest thing that everybody should know is that we are mainly fighting the Shiites. The Shiites are more extreme and have some differences with the Sunnis even though they are both branches of the Muslim religion. If we do not know the ways of the Shiites we may not know when they are most likely to strike. If we know when they are most likely about to strike so we can increase security. Knowing their nature and way of life we can also track down terrorist in the Middle East and know what region they may be hiding in. It is also important for officials to know them extremely well in case there was some kind of negotiations or talk between them and the religious groups of Muslims. Especially the United States government should know the difference between them because one day there may be a Muslim civil war, and everyone knows the United States will have to get involved and save someone. We would need to know who to side with and save. It is important for United States citizens to know the differences basically so we know what our government is doing.
