Important to say that IRAN has not always been a centeral group of the SHIITE SECT. In the first century of Islam. they had different centers in KUFEH, YEMAN and even in Medina.

Contrary to the poisonous propagandas of the ommayids and BANI ABBASS dynasties; SHIITE had several centers in Syria too, though not as extensive as that which was in IRAQ.

In Egypt too, there has always been a big group of SHIITE, and for a relatively long period, the FATEME SHIITE ruled the country. At present big groups of SHIITE live throughout the Islamic world. A great many of them livein eastern area of Soude Arabis with nice harmony and good relations with the other Islamic groups.

Islam's enemies have always agitated and tried to stir the good relations the groups have had, in order to turn their friendship and brotherhood into enmity and ill will, thus weakening both parties.

Now that MAN is wearied of; and eludes the material civilization, and finds Islam to have come on the carpet as a great international moral and spiritual power, our enemies do their best to destroy our unity and brotherhood, They create controversies and diversities of opinions in order to make the Muslims busy with each other.

Such a danger should have a sobering effect upon us all so as to make us cautious enough to frustrate our enemy's intentions and endeavours.

If is remarkable to note tht the SHIITE like the SONNIES are divided in differnt groups; but the main and mojority consists of the sect of SHIITE who believe in 12 Imams.

Although not exact, the number of shiite through out the world counts from two to three HUNDRED millions, making a quarter of the the whole lot of Muslims.
