Not understanding Arabic, I found the comments on the latter videos more interesting, especially one stating "I know the Shia are evil but is this real?" , talking about the mini-Ka'ba built supposedly in Iran. It is interesting that one Muslim is supposed to think of any other Muslim as a brother, yet the Shia and Sunni seem to be at polar opposites, or is my understanding flawed. Actually, I guess a good parallel would be the views of Catholics and Protestants a few hundred years ago.
