Is it not actually an ethnic difference? Persian versus Arab interpretations of Islam?

And looking at the Ismali view, it is very similar to Catholicism and Protestantism - Sunni relying on a book, Shia on equivalents to Popes! So is the xian split a copy of the muslim one? Or is this how our brains work? Some prefer the alleged rational of something written down, others father figures? What does Pope mean?
