Solutions for the Sunni and Shia Conflict
By Dastan (Ed.)
After 2003, a new conflict has arisen in Iraq, which is the conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims. In this short essay, I will talk about this conflict and offer three solutions to minimize it.
In my opinion, the first solution for this conflict is to make people listen to each other. If they listen to each other and talk about their problems, they can easily understand why they fight and realise the damage of their conflict. In contrast, they cannot find a solution for their problem, and they cannot feel the harm they do to each other when they are in battle with each other.
Another solution for this battle is building peace between people in many ways. For example, many times love was a great solution for this problem. When a Sunni boy got married to a Shia girl, the battle stopped between those two different families.
Teaching students in school how we can live peacefully in the same country is a third solution to the problem. For instance, we can teach students how to communicate without using violence, so we can solve conflicts without offending or killing each other.
In brief, there are solutions which can solve the conflict between Sunni and Shia Muslims, but the important point is that people must realise the high price of this conflict. Otherwise, they will never know peace.
