      More appropriately, [Shia] or [Shii]. The second largest sect of Islam, founded by followers of Ali, the fourth [Sunni] caliph (successor to Prophet Muhammad) who married [the Prophets] daughter Fatima. About ten percent of the worlds Muslims are Shia, and prefer to call themselves Ahl ul-Bayt (the People of the House, i.e. family of Muhammad). The largest Shia denomination believe in twelve imams, Ali being the first, and the last, al-Mahdi, is in hiding and expected to return to prepare for the second coming of Jesus Christ. The differences between Sunni and Shia Muslims have more to do with politics and culture than faith and religion.
