Article: "Prayer, food, sex and water parks in Iran's holy city of Mashad"

[MuslimAnswers]

Salam Alaykum,

An article from the Guardian entitled: "Prayer, food, sex and water parks in Iran's holy city of Mashhad" (http://www.theguardian.com/world/iran-blog/2015/may/07/prayer-food-sex-and-water-parks-in-irans-holy-city-of-mashhad)

It gets interesting when the clash between Iraqi men's desire for Mutah women and Iranian men's views on keeping Iranian women "pure from the Arabs" is mentioned, even if it is a short part of the article.

Wa alaykum assalam.

I have noticed you want to focus on the differences between shias which is excellent.

I myself know an Iraqi Shia who is against "wilayat faqih" and another Shia who is pro. I notice their differences but it's obvious they don't want to show their differences to other people (especially to a Sunni who is aware of their filthy aqida).

Shirazis vs Khameneits     Usulis vs Akhbaris   Wilayat al Faqih believers vs Rejects   Arab shia vs Iranian Shia.    where to even start.

In the comments section, a guy says: Perhaps somebody from The Guardian/CiF, can explain in detail the practice of 'sigheh' to heathens.

Another guy replies: More commonly known as 'muta' among Shia and 'misyar' among Sunnis, the practice is more widespread among Shia but also gaining ground in Sunni countries such as Saudi Arabia.

I say: Misyar has nothing to do with it, the fact that every Jahil Imami Shiite keeps bringing up Misyar in Mut`ah debates is not sufficient to claim that Misyar equals Mut`ah, they're absolutely nothing alike!!!
