Shi'ites (4)

The estimated Shia population ranges from 300,000 to 1.3 million, so I wanted to experience this big part of Kuwait culture. I went to the Imam Hussien Mosque, the largest Shia mosque in Kuwait. Despite the bombing at a Shia mosque earlier this year the divide seems to not exist in Kuwait between Shias and Sunnis, because the whole country is so diverse in many ways. This is what I enjoyed so much about Kuwait, the diversity of the population gave a different perspective than in other arab countries. Kuwait is a very secular country with a large population of muslims and few minorities because of the secularism minority religions are not persecuted or singled out. This makes a fantastic environment for learning about all religious sects without hate or fear.
