Simply not true. You need to apply scientific method in determining cause. The existence of reverse proof - that is Sunni and Shia who live together in harmony - is evidence that the causes are more political than theological.

The current situation in Lebanon, where "Christians" were fighting "Muslims" in the civil war years ago. Yet now you have a coalition of Sunni/Druze/Christians (supported by the USA) Allied against the Shia and a prominent Christian and his supporters (supported by Syria/Iran).

Faith has nothing to do with it. Politics has everything to do with it.
