This "Ibn al-Hussain" and his kind are deluded and obviously on some hardcore damage limitation/control trip.
Firstly, there is no obsession with regard to the refutation of Rafidi Shi'ism, that's a simplistic observation from their part, subjective and far from the truth and the reason for such a false judgement is because they see people/projects like the Sunni Defence as only that i.e. a project targetting Shi'ism. They don't realise that it's simply a matter of dividing work, it's fardh kifayah for the Ummah to defend the beliefs of Ahlul-Sunnah wa Al-Jama'ah and refute all sorts of heretics like the Rafidah. So you will have a group refuting modernist and liberal shubuhat and then a group that is specialised in refuting Qadyani or Rafidi shubuhat.
The mere existence of these brothers/projects is no proof of them being obsessed, it is their religious duty (if they are capable of doing what others can't) to work in these fields, thus I myself, as an Ex-Shia have worked in several languages refuting and exposing the Rafidi religion, I see it as a duty, people don't know my personal life, I even keep all the Rafidi stuff away from my family as much as I can, but that's the problem of a world where people judge others based on social media and other online platforms. Fighting the people of Bid'ah with the pen is of the greatest of Jihad, never will and should we stop, and the latest TSD documentary has certainly hit a nerve, otherwise trust me, they wouldn't care.
I wanted to comment on some lame claims on this thread that are from Shiachat:
If you notice, the Salafis live foremost in history. Majority of their quotes from influential Shia scholars go back to what scholars had said centuries ago - particularly the Safavid era (like what Majlisi says, or what Karaki says or Ne'matullah Jaza'iri said, or what Mufid said, or what Saduq said and so on), or at the very earliest they rely on material from the middle of the last century (like this quote from Imam Khomeini). But, because they are engaged in propaganda, they strip these quotes and present them, and the audience has no idea about the different notions that dominated the world at those times or what were the scholarly backgrounds of these scholars (for example if you understand the era and personalities of Majlisi, Ne'matullah Jaza'iri or Karaki you will realize that what they were saying was not absurd at all for their times and the type of interpretation they were doing from the religious texts). You can very easily do the same with their scholarship if the game is being played dirty. This is similar to Islamophobes taking out laws and narrations that talk about slavery and present them - they have to resort to works written centuries ago generally to argue their case. This is polemics for you.
This one's my favourite, that's some next level apologetics. First of all, Non-Salafi scholars in the past and present have written extensively in refutation of the Rafidah, Ash'ari Shafi'is and Hanafi Maturidis, it's an old Shia trick to present their modern day opponents or Shia opposition as some Salafi-Wahabi thing (or Ibn Taymiyyah one). Secondly, as stated earlier in this thread:
This is inaccurate and TSD documentary alone disproves his claims. For every Safawi "scholar" we can bring 5 living scholars of them, including non-Shirazis who openly do takfir and curse the Sahaba just as the Safawi "scholars" did, so who is living in the past? Why isn't he blaming his own cursed "scholars" of today?
So it has nothing to do with living in the past, for Rafidi Shi'ism is based on the takfir on the Sahaba and their cursing, that hasn't changed a bit and this is why it is so easy to prove, not just by providing decade old quotes, but actually footage of their jurists doing exactly what their book carry of kufr and takfir (thus, the analogy with Islamophobes and them quoting old books is nonsensical).
As for the filthiest of filth, the likes of Majlisi and N. Al-Jaza'iri (Safavid palace/court scholars)...
(for example if you understand the era and personalities of Majlisi, Ne'matullah Jaza'iri or Karaki you will realize that what they were saying was not absurd at all for their times and the type of interpretation they were doing from the religious texts).
I agree in a sense, for the first time in history the Rafidah (not just moderate Shias or half-baked Rafifah like the early Buyids) during the Safavid were able to live and express Imamism thoroughly, with no fear and compromise, no more Taqiyyah, all years of (rightfully) being humiliated for their Zandaqah were over, things that were not discussed in open in the past (or at best metioned vaguely like replacing Sahaba names with "1, 2, 3.." were now propagated on state level, and all of that is of course not "absurd", it's perfectly reasonable if you contextualise things. So the following Safawi kufr makes sense to the Rafidah:
- N. Al-Jaza'iri (revered Safawi scholar by the Twelvers) believing in the distortion of the Qur'an (based on mass-transmitted narrations in Shia books and not some flimsy narrations of shadh readings, mansukhat and what not that Shia polemicists love to quote from Sunni books in order to try to turn the table) and making mass takfir on Sahaba and Sunnis.
- Majlisi (revered Safawi scholar by the Twelvers) the kafir not just believing in the distortion of the Qur'an but for the first time in Shia Imami history making it clear that logic itself dictates that the Qur’an has been distorted:
https://shiascans.com/2017/05/20/shaykh-al-islam-of-shiism-mulla-majlisi-on-the-distortion-tahrif-of-the-quran-collection/...after all it was compiled and transmitted by apostate Sahaba! He was simply being consistent with the Shia narrative and as a reward, they built him a big golden shrine and he even received the Shia knighthood by being given the title of "the seal of all Muhaddithun"! Imagine, such a wretched kafir being the top hadithisist and Shaykh Al-Islam of a sect that claims to represent the Ahlul-Bayt (A)!
So basically all of the above and more is perfectly understandable and not absurd to all, it's just us 'shallow Wahabi-Nasibi-Takfiris' who have failed to contextualise these statements of Kufr and Zandaqah as we are 'living in the past' Poor us really.
Anyway, politics and agenda do indeed change, although Iran is strong, it is nonetheless a loner in a Sunni world and Imamism and Iran (especially its clergy) have never been hated so much as of today, be it outside or even inside Iran, so it just makes sense for the Mullahs of Qom and Khomeini to play the Taqiyyah card to the max, they have learnt from the mistakes of the past ever since Sunni Persia has become majority Shia Persia. Their Safawi Salaf received heavy blows and backlashes, like the siege of Isfahan by the Iranic Pashtun Sunnis; the loss of many Persian territories like Sunni Herat/Khorasan, wars with Ottomans and not to forget the huge number of remaining Sunnis inside Iran who have a much higher birthrate than the average super-secular Iranian Shia family and to add to the dilemma (for the Shia clergy and regime) they inhabit most border regions of Iran (that are majority Sunni) i.e. the most sensitive parts of the country! Iran has alot of domestic problems most of the Muslim world is not aware of, from secession movements in non-Persian regions (especially Arab Ahwazis who even according to regime voices have seen large conversions to Sunnism) to the growing demands of the native Sunnis.
Keeping all of that in mind, of course Iran doesn't follow a naive and moronic Shirazi method of spreading Imamism (i.e. abondening Taqiyyah), as an Ex-Shia I'm telling you from my own experience that although a few phychopaths and other die hard mushriks might fall for the Shirazi type of Da'wah, yet trust me, way more effective is what the Iranian regime/Khomeinists do, they are upon Khomeini's manhaj and creed that is nothing but mass-takfir on the Sahaba and the cursing of them, however they know that hiding these ugly beliefs or simply denying them in open will always appeal to some dumb Sunnis who will fall for empty slogans and the farce they call "unity conferences". I remember when I used to be a Shi'i, one Lebanese Khomeinist gave me a disgusting advice, he said:
"Don't curse Abu Bakr, Umar and their Sahaba at the first meeting, feed him with our Shia books and material then he will himself curse them before you get even the chance to advise him to do so!"
This is why people who prayed behind the Zindiq Kafir Khomeini proudly assured others that Khomeini used to curse Abu Bakr and Omar in every Salah, as he himself believed in 'Du'a Sanamay' Quraysh. Even as a Shia back then I was slightly irritated when I heared these things, the only thing they had issues with was the cursing *openly*, they are so shameless, on Iranian state TV and mouthpieces of Iran like Press TV they always add the clause علنی (openly) when speaking about cursing. Like once I saw this Shia priest saying:
"These Shias who curse are British or American agents, we don't curse, our scholars made it haram to curse
openly"
I was shocked and amused at the same time, I even started to get why the Shirazis hate the Khomeinists so much, the sheer hypocracy is disgusting and vile, the Shia priest was not even denying that they curse, he just added the *openly* bit to make us Sunnis feel more comfortable, knowing that they curse what is more beloved to us than our own selves behind close doors of their unity conference of lies/dajjal and deception!
So behind the curtains the Khomeinists are no different from the Shirazis in terms of their hatred of the Sahaba and their takfir on them, this is why the Sunni Defence exposed them so easily in the first place, their 'unity' calls is nothing but a sham and nobody knows that better than us Sunni Iranians and our scholars, the real Iranian Sunni scholars who have chosen torture and death over humiliation (I personally know of some Iranian Sunni Shaykhs that I would not call Munafiqs, however, they are weak and broken compared to those who never compromised, one of them told me that they fear for their lifes and families, i.e. they have to do actual Islamic Taqiyyah. They told me that if they don't participate at those "unity conferences" and other ridiculous Rafidi events and anniversaries they will face all sorts of harassment by the regime, threatening letters are send to them in advance, so that is why I always tell other Sunni brothers to excuse the Sunni scholars inside Iran, they live and are ruled by the enemies of the Ahlul-Sunnah, if anyone is excused, it's them, and despite all of the pressure, here and there you will find those Sunni Iranian scholars who never submitted and have exposed the Rafidah of Qom and their regime like nobody else:
https://youtu.be/AUhIS3PFKnoMy only advice to these Khomeinists, these Neo-Safawis and Rafidis in general is that the age of fooling the Sunni masses is over, our Sunni Iranian satellite channels (launched from abroad as we Iranian Sunnis are deprived of running a single radio station in our majority Sunni provinces and cities, our lands for God's sake, forget about TV) have been broadcasting just over a decade ago, the Da'wah is still fresh and young, it's our age, our turn, every lie will be exposed, all the lies and hypocrisy in the name of Ahlul-Bayt and "unity" will be exposed, no matter how many forced or paid (sell outs) Iranian or non-Iranian Sunni scholars they will present in order to fool the gullible, no matter how many fake "unity conferences" they set up, actions speak louder than words.
