Can the Sunni-Shia schism be resolved? With Dr Tareq al-Suwaidan

Frequently requested episodes will be transcribed first

The Sunni Shia divide remains an open wound and a means by which our enemies meddle in our internal affairs. Since the war on terror, and the horrible sectarianism unleashed on Iraq, this divide has got even bigger and has often led to bloody violence. However, amidst this turmoil, we often hear voices from within the Ummah and beyond, dreaming of unity to confront the misery, humiliation, and suffering of the oppressed, especially in the current situation with Palestine. But it’s a difficult topic, there are a host of theological and political concerns and the current tussle between Saudi Arabia and Iran makes any talk of reconciliation or an overlapping consensus politically charged.

Dr Suwaidan is a profile writer, speaker, trainer and in many ways has brought much needed intellectual thought to our age.
