This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

The two main Islamic factions that have been at war with one another for hundreds of years are the _____.

Kurds and Sunnis

Sunnis and Shiites

Kurds and Shiites

Answer: Sunnis and Shiites

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunni and Shia are the two main sects within Islam. They agree on most major ideas and traditions of Islam, but they became profoundly divided over who would succeed the Prophet Muhammad as head of the Islamic religion.

Their dispute worsened since the late 20th century, with growing violence in the Middle East as they fight for religious and political domination.
