Oh, they do. In a nutshell, it's an argument over succession, and who's really supposed to be in charge. Sunni ("The True Path") vs. Shiite ("Partisans of Shi'a Ali", the guy viewed by Shiites as Mohammed's true successor)

There is really not a dimes worth of difference between the Sunni and Shiite Muslums.
