When I say discover i don't want say "heard About" but rather How/when/where have you
really understood what is shiisme? And what was your attitude after that...
I begin,
Me it's during the last eid el fitr . It's recent. I was looking quietly a documentary about coran on a public channel.
After, I have understood that the author was talking about "various coran". coran of Ibn Massud etc... and most of all coran of Ali...
Of course I did some research and I have seen that it's whatever...
But the shock for me it's that it's was the first time I heard what is shiissme in reality... Falsification of coran...
It's was a double shock because after I appreciated shiisme... . but when I have understood their creed ...
Then, I discovered the rest ... sahaba, Aisha, Omar, And OF COURSE on Abou Hourayra
... while the classic
I felt betrayed me... I say to myself "what is this ugly religion?" It was and it is always the SHOCK! It is still amazing. I still shake my head. It's incredible....
At the beggining when I knew nothing about shias I thought it was à sympatic religion around Ali, very kind etc... but I could have imagined that!
etc etc... And you what is your experience? How did you discover Shiisme?
