    Though the Wahabist Saudis are explicitly anti-shia. They even despise preserving cultural heritage because they see it as praying to false gods(haze what they did to mekka fuck the saudis). They are the most hardcore of the hardcore sunnis.

    Contrast that to hanafism which is badically the opposite and pracriced in every turkish-sunii group(from xinjiang to istanbul), which is basically like "just saying you believe in god is enough for us.".

    Iran, just to complete it, follows the 12er Shia. The believe in the 11 dead Imams and the one who is "escaped" and will return at the promised day. Not to be confused with the ismaelites who i don't actually know how relevant they are today.
