War based on Sunni and Shia identity becomes a trend in contemporary conflicts in the Middle East. Unlike the Sunni-Shia conflict in the classic period as a result of theological dispute, the current conflict between the two groups are more influenced by political, economic and social variables. Therefore, it is necessary to analise the Sunni-Shia conflict comprehensively. The analysis provides steps to reconcile relations between Sunni-Shiite in the contemporary period. Reconciliation can be strengthened through dialogue among Sunni-Shia, construct common enemy and open socio-political access.
