	Early Debates on the Integrity of the Quran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Hence it was not known that many of the ideas that were later labeled as Sunnite, Shi'ite, or the like were originally held by a different group or, at least in the early period before the sects took on their final shape, were shared by various mainstream elements of Islamic society.
		Sunnite literature contains many reports that suggest that some of the revelation had already been lost before the collection of the Qur'an initiated by Abu Bakr.
		The Sunnites, however, put forward that excuse as the real cause and denied that 'Ali was unahppy with the Quraysh process of Caliph making.

		An allegorical and mystical interpretation reconciles the words of the Koran with the inordinate respect paid to All; the Sunnite doctrine of the uncreated Koran is denied.
		While they naturally reject the four Sunnite schools of jurisprudence, the Shiites also derive all law from the Koran, and their trained clergy (nwllahs) are the only class that can give legitimate legal responses.

		L'hégémonie sunnite a encore été renforcée durant le règne brutal de Saddam Hussein, où les communautés kurdes et chiites étaient considérées comme des menaces potentielles pour le régime, et persécutées sans merci.
		Début janvier 2004, plusieurs Arabes sunnites de Kirkouk ont été tués dans des heurts avec des milices kurdes, ce qui a contribué au ressentiment dans la population sunnite qui craint que les Kurdes ne réussissent à incorporer la ville et ses environs riches en pétrole dans un territoire kurde, partiellement autonome.
		Les habitants arabes sunnites de Hawija ont interprété cette opération, qui a duré toute une journée, dans des termes communautaires (ethniques), en disant que les Kurdes cherchaient à absorber la ville dans la région kurde.

	Iranica.com - GÚADÈR KòOMM
		Many Sunnite authorities likewise consider GÚad^r K¨omm the site of a Prophetic announcement regarding ¿Al^, but do not recognize it as a political appointment; in fact, some of the most extensive collections of GÚad^r K¨omm material can be found in three Sunnite sources, namely the Mosnad of Ahámad b.
		The fact that GÚad^r K¨omm is related by many prominent Sunnite compilers on the authority of numerous Companions, many of whom were not ¿Alid legitimists and some of whom are usually considered to have been enemies of the ¿Alid cause, is put to good use in these two genres.
		Sunnite authorities are frequently cited as sources for the tradition and a common motif is that of the anti-¿Alid Companion who is reminded of the GÚad^r Kòomm tradition, to which he was a witness, and who then expresses either regret or fear of God's punishment for having thereafter abandoned the wala@ya of ¿Al^.

	Some Observations on Islamic Revolution (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Inasmuch as the Sunnite clergy represented as a class the consensus of that truth, the responsibility for the unity of Islam fell upon their shoulders.
		Theoretically, then, the Sunnite clergy recognized a limited right to rebel against temporal tyranny, but as a result of the separation of their religious functions from the exercise of state power, they were more prone to take a passive attitude toward unjust authority.
		The clergy had at its disposal from the times of Sunnite hegemony sources of revenue derived from a tithing of the faithful and from religious endowments established for the care and renovation of mosques, holy shrines, and Quranic schools that had been kept out of the reach of the rapacious shahs.

		Indeed, the role of the Sunnite pro-al Qaeda militiamen in the insurgency is beyond doubt.
		Yet, curiously enough, and in parallel with all that media concentration upon Al Zarqawi and the like, the role of the Iranians has gone almost unnoticed, although it is obvious that their influence has grown to an unimaginable degree in a country that had sustained an 8 years long war with Iran.
		The point is that with the Sunnite factions (followers of Zarqawi) occupying the field on the military and media levels, although the regions of trouble concerned with their activity are much smaller than the rest of the Provinces, the observers know little about the Shiite inspired activism.

	Sufism what is it ? Sufism, Mysticism, Esoterism.
		As such, it has the special disitinction of being found in the sunnite as well as the shiite traditions of Islam.
		In spite of Sufism claiming to be strictly muslim, traditional Islam, both sunnite as well as shiite, looks upon Sufism with the greatest distrust.
		In Iran, the vast majority of the mullahs are strongly opposed to it and in sunnite Islam, most of the Ulemas are much more interested in the letter of the Koran and its juridical interpretations than in the speculations of the Sufis which to them are highly suspect.

		With the foundation of the Fatimid state in 297/909, the potential challenge of the Isma¿ilis to Sunnite "orthodoxy" became actualized, and thereupon the ¿Abbasids and the Sunnite ulama launched what amounted to an official anti-Isma¿ili propaganda campaign.
		The earliest Twelver Shi¿ite heresiographers Nowbakòti and Qomi, who were better informed than their Sunnite counterparts about the internal divisions of Shi¿ism, were less hostile towards the Isma¿ilis while upholding the legitimacy of the rival H®osaynid line of ¿Alid Imams recognized by the Twelver Shi¿ites.
		The revolt of the Persian Isma¿ilis led by H®asan-e S®abba@há (q.v.) against the Saljuq Turks provoked another round of Sunnite reaction against the Isma¿ilis in general and the Neza@ri Isma¿ilis in particular.

		During this time, which was that of Ghaz~l§, a strong attempt was underway by the Fatmides of Egypt to supplant the sunnite Abbasid Caliphs in order to assume the religious and political leadership of all Islam.
		Like the Ash'ari facing the Mu'tazilites two centuries earlier, he was forced to rethink for himself and his contemporaries sunnite dogma, and thereby to renew the religious spirit.
		It might be noted further that even late in his ten year period of retreat, when he was considering how to respond to the tepidity abroad in Islam, he considered it important to have an authoritative patron.
