Great primer. “A very conservative Shiite man may be unwilling to wear a tie. … Shiite holy men wear either a black or a white turban (depending on their lineage) and a robe. Sunni clerics would never don a black turban … Sunnis and Shiites also differ in the way they hold their hands during prayer–up toward their chests or down at their sides, respectively.”
