> So what do shites teach that differs from sunnis?


Short answer: Shiites have a person equivalent to the Pope, so (roughly speaking) Shiites are like Catholics and Sunnis are like Protestants.


For a slightly longer answer, check out the following summary which I posted on another website a few years ago ("IOL Watcher" is me):


The diifference between Sunnis and Shiites.


For a loooooong explaination which is both very fascinating and very depressing... check out the cover story from the March 5, 2007 issue of Time Magazine:
