All you say is sadly true. Sunni and Shia? Islam has way more divisions and sects than just Sunni and Shia. And at the head of most of them are the devils of humans. This is not what I say...nay! This is what the Prophet himself prophesied would happen and that's just the way it is.
Now as to why this is happening is simply because many Muslims today have ceased to seek out knowledge about their religion and instead chose to blind follow their families, communities, Imaams, etc. And they feel great pride in doing so. The kind of tribulations, atrocities and injustice you see widespread among the Muslims today are a result of ignorance,misguidance, arrogance and power hunger, all disguised as piety and the love for Allah and the Prophet! Hence wars and torments prevail with each sect fighting the other.
Blosted you talk about being labeled infidels and pigs? These evil extremists would even refer to Muslims who shun their ideologies as infidels, scholars for dollars etc. If that's the kind of name calling they spit at Muslims themselves then do you expect them to be very tolerating and merciful towards non Muslims.
In fact one should never judge Islam by the actions of the Muslims of today. The truth is God helps those who help themselves. So unless the Muslims of today, from around the world, work towards stamping out the ignorance, malpractices, disunity, and injustices among themselves, no one on earth can ever really avail them!
