Ashura was not the cause of the Shia/Sunni split, this has been repeated in the media since John Kerry incorrectly stated this on the floor of the US congress. The Shia/Sunni split arose shortly after The Prophet (SAW) passed away.

I have gotten rid of a sentence that claimed Ashura caused the Shia/Sunni split. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.223.241.21 (talk) 20:11, 11 September 2019 (UTC)Reply
