  17. Mr. Weiss Islam Presentation – Sects of Islam The two major groups within the Islam are the Sunni and Shia (Shiite) – the Sunni considered by many the “orthodox” branch of Islam, making up the majority (90%) of practitioners in the world. The Shia are concentrated in a handful of nations including Iraq and Iran. Islam split into the two factions after the death of the Prophet Muhammad. The Sunni backed a series of appointed caliphs as head of the faith – the Shia believed a series of Imams descended from the Prophet were the true leaders of Islam. They get their name from one of those descendants, Muhammad’s cousin and son-in-law Ali, considered the first Imam. http://muslimvoices.org/islam-sects/
