Alhamdulillah I am Sunni as well

So, what if I agreed with the general Sunni opinion about certain essential matters but went with the so-called Shia opinion in regards to other essential matters?.. to which camp would that throw me? am I guided enough to say "Alhamdullillah"? or am I a filthy infidel according to both sides? and who gets to decide if I'm guided or not anyway?
The line between a Sunni and a Shia can be much thinner than you imagine.. because those things are, for the most part, mere titles. The meaning behind them will continue to diverge as time goes, because as new generations come and go, they will influence their respective doctrines with personal conclusions and this will result in sub-doctrines, deviants, and reformers (as evident in every circle, be it religious or not)
If there was anything I learned from reading and researching, it's how complicated history is and how distant from the truth we are to even begin thinking that we're "on the right path" and everyone else is misguided. The right path is unknown, guess what? that's one of the reasons why I believe in god. I'll never say alhamdullillah in regards to my beliefs until God directly tells me that I had it right ;)

Great post. There are very small differences between sunni and shia's but the religion and Islam's main belief's from the Qur'an are the same for both sects.

To this day I still wish that the Idea of Al Jame'a al Islamiya was adopted by Muslims worldwide. It's what Mohammad (SAAWS) would've wanted...
