Welcom Michiel! For all those who may be reticent to make a comment because
they feel it may not have been "researched" enough (and may not be "accurate"
with respect to the full spectrum of all Disney, Duck, Mouse or other groups of
stories): Do NOT hold back!!! Boldly make your opinions known, - or ask your
questions! Such comments are what make good fodder for discussions. (Zwijgen
is niet best!)
OFF TOPIC: Although the number of Sunni Moslems in the World is not quite as
large as the official total number of Catholics (they are close enough to be
spoken of in the same way), they should not be considered as analogous terms.
The division of the Islamic worshipers into Sunni and Shi'ite groups is not
based upon differences in religious doctrine. It is based on differing views
on the blood line of the Caliphs as derived from Mohammad's family. There are
only very few, minor differences in doctrine and ritual. These are really not
enough to separate "sects". The ways they worship God, and consider the
relationship to Mohammad, Ibrahim, etc. is, for practical purposes, the same.
The differences between the two groups is much, much more political, than
religious.
