Why the Sunnis fight with the Shiites if Islam is the religion of peace?

Question: Why the Sunnis fight with the Shiites if Islam is the religion of peace?
Allah afflicted Muslims as He afflicted others by some flatterers or adulators who seek this life, leadership, reputation and fame, those can do any thing to reach their goals. The pure essence of Islam has no disputes among all Muslims if they are truthful, the dispute comes when someone adopts a personal view in a verse from the book of Allah, a hadith of the apostle of Allah or an order of Sharia of Allah, such a view the religion encourages on condition that it has no fanaticism that gets him to keep to his opinion thinking that he is the right one and that others are wrong. This inferior view to the verses of the book of Allah, the hadiths of the apostle of Allah and the rules of the religion of Allah is the cause of separation of Muslims, when such a person adopts an idea, though he is not infallible, then he does his best to prove that he and his followers are right and that others are wrong, he can also attack those who are different from him, defame them and even fight them to support the view he follows, so Allah says:
“And hold fast, all together, by the rope which Allah (stretches out for you), and be not divided among yourselves” Surat Ala-Imran, Verse 103.
Allah also says about the group we mentioned:
“As for those who divide their religion and break up into sects, you have no part in them” Surat Al-Anaam, Verse 159.
The prophet (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: (That who calls for fanaticism is not one of us.) It is a fact that Shiites love Imam Ali and his family and this is what all Muslims do, but if a group of them go far beyond this to fight other companions of the apostle of Allah such as Abu-Bakr or Omar or Othman, this is what the Sunnis and the mass reject. Shiites follow the doctrine of Imam Ja’far in jurisprudence and that is not wrong, but they don’t have to think that he is the only right one and that all the other doctrines are wrong, they should do as the Sunnis and the mass do, they admit the four juristic doctrines Maleky, Hanafy, Shafey and Hanbaly, they shouldn’t differentiate among them but let each Muslim free to choose anyone to follow on condition that he never attacks or fights others.
So if we see that there is a dispute that leads to division and fight between Sunnis and Shiites then this is not because of the doctrine and their Islamic principles but because of desire, fanaticism partiality and other sectarianisms Islamic religion annihilated, and they awakened them after death, the prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: (Muslim is brother to Muslim, he never oppresses him, he never lets him down, he never despises him, piety is here (he refers to his chest three times, enough of doing sin for a Muslim if he scorns his Muslim brother, all the Muslim is inviolable to the Muslim his blood, his wealth and his honor.)

Religion has very little to do with violence or love for that matter.
No more than a recipe book cooks food for us.

We can kind of blame the Holy books because it says to kill those who are against you and is your enemy, but man himself decides who is the enemy.
In the end, man is to blame 110% for warring each other.
Take away the Holy book, wont matter, he doesn't need a book to kill with the intentions of gaining power and other peoples goods and land.
All he needs is a weapon, even rocks will do, and come to think of it, the Holy book isn't even much of a weapon, a few good sized rocks and a pointy stick, work just fine.
