Sure, lots of people know a lot about a lot, but then again lots of people don't know a lot about a lot. Neither you, nor I nor anyone on this forum will claim to know everything. FYI Writing a lot (that is useless BTW) doesn't make you look smart
So when you said that the Prophet (saw) asked Caliph Abu Bakr to lead the pray, it was just stating a fact and had no relevance to anything one way or another.
I have this problem that I need to understand why things are being said.
Shias quote indirect evidence such as Ghadeer Khumm and Sleeping in the bed incident that Imam Ali (as) should've been the leader. He has done the same with Imam Abu Bakr (as) leading the prayer.
Brother - i wasnt trying to look/act smart. I was just letting muslim720 know that he shouldnt be surprised if someone doesnt know something.
12er Shiaism survives by antagonizing Ahle Sunnah. The more a 12er Shia mosque attacks Ahle Sunnah by using tactical taqiyyah methods the more khumms they receive from the Dozeners. Whereas as Sunnis they don't really have much of 12er Shia problem in local neighborhoods. Its just online where the fights start. However, upfront 12ers are good with taqiyyah where they can disguise their hatred against Sunnis very well.
The Paranoia is strong is this one. Let me guess, you too believe that shias are persecuting sunnis across the world, right?
Listen to the moderates such as Rajabali and Nakshawani. They blame it all on Umar and the Sunnis. When Yassir Habib does it bluntly he is supposedly an agent, but those who do it under taqiyyah are not?
What Rajabali and Nakshawani do is relate facts (as they see it) while taking all emotion out of it. What Yassir Al-Habib does the opposite - a lot of emotion without facts. Therein lies the difference.
Iraqis thought getting rid of Saddam and bringing a Shia government was a solution. However, the same shia government is looting their own people.
No argument from me.
But you know a lot except what you know holds more nuisance value than beneficial information. What you will pass on to your children, for example, will be stories that will lead them to develop hatred because the Shia paradigm is almost completely empty of mercy, love and salvation.
It is funny that you mention shia hatred on a site that is meant to degrade and insult the shia.
I am amazed at how paranoid you are. As an example of shia hatred, while salafis and wahabis were chopping people, and burning them in Mosul and Fallujah and other places, Sistani opened the city of Najaf to host all refugees regardless of their faith INCLUDING Sunnis. If/When you find a mass Sunni grave in Najaf or Karbala, then we can discuss shia hate.
Move over to Pakistan, shias are taken of buses, and shot dead point blank.
I am truly serious when I say that you need to be on medication because this paranoia will lead you to hurting yourself or others.
As said previously, if Imam Ali [ra] would have been the recipient of this merit, you would have been dancing to a different beat.
Imam Ali has plenty of merits and more than the merits of all other sahaba combined that I dance too.
Your problems do not end there.
