Khaled Abou El Fadl: "The Sunni-Shi'i Divide," ICSC Lecture and Q&A 2.25.18

Powerful and eye-opening! Full lecture including Q&A: The divide between Sunni's and Shi'i's continues to plague modern Muslims and has caused a considerable amount of tension and conflict. This lecture reflects on the reason that this divide came about and reviews some of the major differences between Sunni and Shi'i Islam. The lecture particularly focuses on the implications on the Sunni and Shi'i divide for Muslims in America and the ways that it impacts American Muslim identity and politics. Delivered at the Islamic Center of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA on February 25, 2018.

An excellent juristic account of the key issues relating to the Shi'a/Sunni relationship (up to 53:00; thereafter, the video incorporates a lengthy Q&A session) - al-hamdullillah.
