Many jokes have been said about McCain not knowing the difference between Sunni or Shiite. But many times we make the same mistakes that we laugh at others for. Time to turn the page and check your own knowledge on the subject. How well do you know the difference? Eight questions and eight answers. It's actually quite educational. Let the games begin!

Click on link to begin. Take the Test: Sunni or Shiite?

I also added a poll to see how well informed we are as a forum. It is a private poll, so let your conscience be your guide.

I only got six out of eight correct. Actually, I thought I would get all correct LOL So much for the power of self-importance LOL

However, I don't want to be POTUS. I don't have to know the answers.

I also don't know how to fix a carburator, but I sure want to know that my mechanic can do it before I decide to choose him for the job! Because I know that if he doesn't I could be the one in trouble in the long run!

That was easy. I got eight out of eight.

I am guessing the question about Pakistain being Sunni or Shia tripped up most people.

I got that question right, but was stumped by three others. Good job! Are you sure you didn't have a cheat sheet?

Eight of eight correct.

6 out of 8 for me, I'm disappointed actually i should've got 8 but never mind. AD the thread is interesting but like Tristan says we are not running to be president and commander in chief of the most powerful army in the world we don't need to know the differences, McCain does.
