You never stated any truth in your comment.. the truth I stated was that there are people (like you) who have misconceptions about Shiism, and they all say the exact same thing as you have posted.. and when we try to educate on one subject they leave it and attack on another subject where they have a similar misconception.  If you really want to get into this.. we can create a group where we can attack each aspect and really figure out the truth and take it seriously deep into discussion.  :)  I will go to everyone of your blog entrys and comment on them Inshallah.

Fisrt of all.... APOLOGY ACCEPTED second,,, i know its hard for u to get in tact with... and i understand it will take some time with u to come with the fact that i do know about 'shia' and the fact that u saw truth in my comment. In ur last post, u have pretty much summed up the facts about Shia... and this u cannot deny as u are the one that stated them, thats fine alhamdullilah :)now that this is sorted out,,,,  we can move on to my other BLOG entrys :) care to comment on them??

I was saying the Ignorant christians say that about muslims... I am putting you in my shoes from experiences you probably have with non-muslims who know nothing about the religion except what they hear from their Priests or family.  I never said you said any of that. And again, you are being ignorant by saying we are the ones stabbing our kids on Ashura.. I will agree that some shia's do that, but 99% do not believe in that and our Scholars say that is haram.  That is the same as me saying "all Sunni's run planes into buildings" just because a few Sunni's had a sick train of thought... of course i wouldn't say that because I know most Sunni's are very nice people and don't believe that.  The whole thing about hitting yoruself on day of Ashura has nothing to do with our religion or the fiqh, you will not find it in any of our books and it's more of an event that shia's participate in.. but it's not part of our doctine to tell us to or not to do it.  But harming ones-self or others is haram, and you should mourn in appropriate manner.   You of course didn't know any of this and this is all new to you. Inshallah you will stop your false judgements about the Shia belief which you know NOTHING about.   Again, ignorance strikes again.  If you want, you can keep going and I can keep cleaning up the mess that you have in that brain of yours.  Wuold you like to move onto saying "you guys pray to stones on the floor like idols" haha, i'm just waiting for that one also.  Hmmm... or there's the one: "You guys believe in Muta, thats like prostitution for women, OMG, you shia's are sick people" Lol..  Please feel free to ask what you want, but I do get offended when you say you "KNOW" what we believe and what we follow when it's not correct.  Sorry for my tone of voice and any offensive words. Peace,Kidman

First off: Stop with that :roll thing, very annoying, lol.Second: you remind me of the Ignorant Christian that tells his/her friends about muslims and how: "Their Koran teaches to kill, and to marry many wives and they are allowed to beat them!!!"  You are acting the same way, you never did any real research, you probably spoke to only to 'shia' experts who are not even shia themselves. Or you spoke to one shia who really didn't know much and based all your claims from that one souce, great job Einstein!!!Third: We follow the Prophet, Imam Hasan and Imam Hussain only followed the Prophet in every aspect, and never innovated anything themselves.  Fourth: Did you know our 6th Imam, Imam Ja'far Al-Sadiq, was teacher of your founders; Abu Hanifa and Malik ibn Anas??  Founders of Hanfi school and Maliki School.Fifth: I do my research before believing anything, or saying anything about others (unlike some people). I was not raised to believe what I do, I believe because I choose to believe because the information has logic... and I am continuing to educate myself in all area's, even currently learning about Hinduism, Buddhism, and Taoism... Please, don't be like the Christians who after 9/11 believe that all muslims are the same way and believe the same train of thought of Osama Bin Laden.
