shia, sunni difference is in leaership of Islam after prophet (Imamat). Shias believe that the first Khlifa (successer of the prophet) should have been Ali, whereas Sunnis believe that Abu Bakr should be the first, while Ali the fourth. Both acknowledge Ali as Khalifa, but for Sunnis, he's the fourth, for Shias, he should've been the first, but he gave it up, in order that Muslim affairs remain intact and unsplit.
The major difference, however, is between Wahabis/Salafists and both Sunnis and Shias. Wahabis/Salafists are the ones who comprise Al-Qaeda members, found mostly around Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Afghanistan and elsewhere. they are pretty much, the Muslim version of the Evangelical church; only, if they're not kept under control, they can get dangerous. Salafists are the ones who are sniper-shooting Syrians and doing suicide-bombings around Syria and Iraq.
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) has two famous sayings about truth:
1) *** the Judaism nation after Moses (PBUH) became 71 sect that 70 of them are in Hell and 1 in Heaven and Christianity nation after Jesus (PBUH) became 72 sect that 71 of them are in Hell and 1 in Heaven and Islam nation after prophet become 73 sect that 72 of them are in Hell and 1 in Heaven. ***
2) *** Truth is with Ali and Ali is with Truth ***
[en.sahih] O Messenger, announce that which has been revealed to you from your Lord, and if you do not, then you have not conveyed His message. And Allah will protect you from the people. Indeed, Allah does not guide the disbelieving people. [5:67]
[en.sahih] And We have revealed to you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth,
... Had Allah willed, He would have made you one nation [united in religion], but [He intended] to test you in what He has given you; so race to [all that is] good. To Allah is your return all together, and He will [then] inform you concerning that over which you used to differ. [5:48]
no need to know all the sects.
only know and follow Ali (sa)

please look at this intresting real story:
http://www.terrorism-illuminati.com/wahhabis
please distinguish between sunni Muslims and extremist Wahhabi (Salafi).
Salaf literally means "past people"[=Sahaba] and Salafi means who follows Sahaba of prophet. but today Salafi is same as Wahhabi. but they do not like to be called Wahhabi. they prefer to be called Salafi. Wahhabism is founded by Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab based on beliefs of Ibn Taymiyyah in Saudi Arabia. today Wahhabism is based in Saudi Arabia and is propagating beliefs of Wahhabism in world very powerful and with high financial support by petrodollars from Saudi Royal family.
Wahhabi is in fact supported by US, Israel and England to make conflict inside Muslims and finally to destroy Islam.
Ashura day keep the message of Imam Hussein (sa) alive to reach all humans.
Husain (sa) wanted to send his message with his blood to all the world and to all the humans.
the message of Hussain is:
there is two different Kind of Islam.
the pure Islam of prophet and Islam of Yazid (Ummayids) who celebrated killing of Husain (sa) the Imam and real Caliph of their time.
Husain (sa) said:
with Yazid, Salam [bye] to Islam.
please read:
Quran says:
"[en.sahih] Have you made the providing of water for the pilgrim and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram equal to [the deeds of] one who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people. [9:19]"
please read this books to know Wahhabism more:

http://www.al-islam.org/truthaboutshiah/
Wahhabism is the continue of deviated version of Islam made by Yazid and Umayyad dynasty to can control ignorant Muslims for their worldly greeds.
top Umayyad leaders (abu sufyan,..) did not have any belief in God and Quran and revelation.
without Wahhabism shia and sunni have no problem and are friends.
please for sake of Allah ask beliefs of shia from shia:
