Yes.
Sunni Muslims and Shia Muslims do not live in the same areas. The strife between the two offshoots is documented heavily.
As a very recent example, when liberating Mosul in Iraq which is a Sunni Muslim population, militia that was of Shia origin was originally forbidden from entering battle to liberate due to alleigences.
When a government needs to take these kind of steps, it's enough proof for me of the continued strife.
The Muslims that die in majority Muslim countries are dying because of division between different offshoots of Islam. This is common knowledge I thought?
Islamic State are pushing basically an even more conservative version of the Sunni line.
The Taliban, again conservative Islam. They aren't terrorists to most Muslims.
Saudi/Wahabis just another conservative strain of Islam,
Iran and Saudis are fighting it out because of their interpretation of Islam over Yemen. The Rebels and the government there....Shia vs Sunnis.
Saudis side with Sunnis because it's more conservative.

Uhm, you didn't answered my question.
Definition of racism:
[mass noun] Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior
As Vivster already said, "Those are religious disputes".
Religion/belief is not a race.
That Sunnis and Shia's are killing eachother off is nothing new, but that wasn't the question.
You claimed that most Muslims are racists. But I suppose the better word would be intolerant.

Yes the better word would be intolerant. I am wrong to use racism, as per my own niggles with calling others out on that.
Regardless the end point is the same. Prejudice against others for their beliefs, and background.
Anyways I'll withdraw from this particular line of discussion as I'm derailing the thread and not being helpful at all pushing my views as they aren't really related.
