Sunni Shia conflict and the ‘continuum’ of an ideology
Sunni Shia conflict and the ‘continuum’ of an ideology

Sectarian conflict is not only tearing Muslim countries apart like Iraq and Pakistan but also brewing under the surface in London and European cities.
Sunni and Shia groups view each other suspiciously across a widening gap of misunderstanding propagated by Saudi financed British Sunni Mosques and madras’s attempt to label Shias as kafirs or heretics. On the surface there is a form of coexistence, but when the owner of a media group with the ability to influence thousands states “the biggest threat to world peace is Iran and Shias” it becomes a worrying fact.
It’s even more worrying when many Muslims suffering discrimination and treated as the enemy within cannot comprehend that Shia Sunni bloodshed is one of the many aims of the un- ending war on terror unleashed against Islam and Muslims after 9/11.
The west has reduced occupation forces in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, as they watch the rise of sectarian bloodshed which is a far worse weapon, fuelled by CIA and Mossad mercenary groups and drone attacks.
Daniel Mabsout writes in ‘A world called Israel’ “Now the Sunnis are mobilized against Shi’as in a conflict that had no precedent in the history between Sunnis and Shi’as. The Sunnis are mobilized by the world Order to defend Israel under the cover of sectarianism and anti Shi’ism; the war we witness between the two groups is but a sparkle of what is happening actually and daily on the ground.”
The attacks against Hazara Shias in Quetta, Pakistan early January killed nearly a 100 are part of systematic campaign against the community whose particular look and the fact they speak Farsi has made them easy targets for Sunni terrorists like Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, known to have CIA and Mossad links.
Ali Dayan Hassan of Human Rights Watch warned: “Last year was the bloodiest year for Pakistan’s Shia community in living memory and if this latest attack is any indication, 2013 has started on an even more dismal note.”
Last year Dr Ismail Salami in his article “who’s behind the Shia Massacres in Pakistan” wrote “…more than 250 Shia Muslims were maimed and killed in broad daylight. Around 150 pairs of Shias’ eyes were cut out of their sockets; many of them died while their faces had been smashed with stones or sprayed with acid…. the Wahhabi attackers were void of any mercy; the criminals are now free and keep on partaking in their feast of blood.”
The war on terror manufactured and implemented by a cabal of Israel first politicians including Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George W. Bush, Richard Myers and Paul D Wolfowitz is the same group behind the Project for a New American Century (PNAC) which according to Dr Alan Sabrosky, a US strategic analyst, “wanted to use the 9/11 attacks as a catalytic event that ensured the US would fight Israel’s wars” and have been funding sectarian strife and regime change in the Middle East.
General Wesley Clarke, NATO’s Supreme Allied Commander between 1997 and 2000 confirmed in 2007 that the US Secretary of Defense’s Office just after 9/11 had already outlined the destruction of seven governments including Iran and Syria that would take place in the subsequent five years.
The main task to create fear and bloody divisions had been assigned to Al Qaeda, which is a combination of Wahabi Salafi groups and mercenaries controlled by the CIA and Mossad.
In 2009 Press TV revealed that Qari Zainuddin was killed days after he revealed that TTP or Pakistani Taliban under Hakeemullah Mehsud alongside with their affiliates such as Ilyas kashmiri 313 Brigade are CIA and Mossad recruits.
Zaki Khalid a Pakistani security analyst highlights how the “CIA brand of Taliban come with tattoos” and how Islamic terrorists have been caught with American style tattoos on their bodies arguing “ if Jewish American Adam Pearlman alias Adam Yahya Gadahn was successful in presenting himself as an Arab militant, why is it not possible that others can follow his example”?
Prince Harry recently confirmed that ‘he killed Taliban insurgents during his latest tour of Afghanistan as a gunner in Apache attack helicopters, with his fingers on the triggers of deadly rockets…’ Maybe Prince Harry should have checked who he had bombed if we are to go by the number of CIA Mossad men dressed up as Taliban?
It was the Raymond Davis incident that highlighted to what extent CIA and Mossad were involved in creating bloodshed in Pakistan.
Jonathan Aziza in an article ‘26/11 Revisited Raymond Davis and a Travesty of Justice’ explained that Davis was “tied to infamous hunter-killed mercenary firm Blackwater (Xe)” and was “acting head of the CIA in Pakistan” carrying out “a long-running false flag terrorism operation known as the ‘Dragon Policy,’ run by the Zionists and its confederates inside RAW the CIA and Blackwater.”
He argues “This highly sophisticated operation is a multi-faceted cohesion between intelligence, military, media and politics, all for the purpose of fragmenting nations that are seen as threats to the global agenda of international Zionism. Excluding occupied Iraq, no nation has been hit more ruthlessly than the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. “
The blame also lies with Pakistani politicians and its elite who are linked to International business and Jewish owned multinationals aiding and abetting as they suck the blood of the poor to fill their Swiss coffers.
The PNAC group has not changed their agenda but changed its name to FDD ‘ The Foundation for Defense of Democracies’ and released a new document calling once again for an attack on Iran. Pakistan is an important cog in the wheel as Iran cannot be attacked unless Pakistan is sufficiently destabilized and its nuclear capabilities neutralized.
It is argued that Israel’s territorial ambitions are dependent on war with Iran to distract Muslim attention away from Al Aqsa Mosque which Netanyahu and Likudists are in a hurry to destroy so they can build the Third Temple on its site in order to make way for the expected Jewish Messiah who will take the ‘chosen people’ to world domination.
The war with Syria and Iran is also the Saudi/ Qatar agenda and as a result Saudi and the Gulf states are funneling large sums of money and weapons to militias inside Syria, and killing Shias is part of that agenda.
Franklin Lamb in Damascus writes:”It is their “agents,” the jihadist groups, who have turned on the Syrian civilian population increasingly resorting to theft, kidnapping for ransom, rape, sale of children and killing hundreds according to UN agencies
Journalist Alastair Crooke in ‘Putting Match to Tinder’ highlights how the Gulf States ambitions “. . .clearly extend well beyond the mere destruction of Iranian political power to a much wider ambition not only to subvert real reform in the region, but to restore a Sunni conservative primacy throughout much of the Arab world…….”
As the bloodshed continues in Syria what has become of Islam, which is supposed to be a religion of mercy and justice, contrary to what the Zionist media would have us believe through thousands of Hollywood films and dramas?
Writer Daniel Mabsout asks the same essential question that Muslims also need to ask if we are to prevent a path of sectarian blood bath.
“What is happening to Islam? Who is Muslim and who is not? Why so many crimes are being committed under the banner of Islam? Hideous crimes in Lebanon, in Syria, in Libya ….Slaughters happening in Syria where entire families are killed by sectarian Muslims, by armed thugs who say there is no god but God!”
Gilad Atzmon attempted to ask a similar question about humanity when he said: “If Israel defines itself as the Jewish State and drops bombs on civilians from airplanes decorated with Jewish symbols then it’s our moral duty to question what this Jewishness is all about”. In his book ‘The Wandering Who?’ Atzmon unravels many sensitive issues regarding Jewish Power.
One of the most interesting analyses that Muslims and Christians could also learn from is about the ‘continuum’ of an ideology.’ In a past interview when the Mavi Marmara was attacked by Israel he explained: “The ideology that carried out execution-style killings on the Gaza aid flotilla the ‘Mavi Marmara’ is the same ideology that carried out the massacres at Deir Yassin, Qibya, Sabra and Shatilla, Qana, Gaza, Jenin and the murder of Rachel Corrie — more than that it is the same ideology that killed Christ.”
He continues: “there is no biological, racial or ethnic continuum between the ancient Israelites and the contemporary Israelis. The attack on the aid convoy is a continuum of the same ideology that killed Christ. Christ’s killing is a symbol of a brutal assault against goodness, in the same way the attack on the aid convoy was against humanity and compassion.”
Muslims also need to ask how the message and teachings of the Prophet Muhammad changed, where we have groups roaming around as jihadists killing and beheading other Muslim’s without humanity and compassion.
Prophet Muhammad prohibited torture and urged equal treatment for prisoners of war at a time where enslavement, beheadings and mutilation of corpses was the norm.
If we look closely at Atzmon’s analyses we may reach an understanding of how the real message of Islam also changed or became subverted.
This continuum of an ideology dates back to the continuum of evil forces of oppression and tyranny that reared their ugly head as soon as the Prophet Mohammad died.
These forces ignored the fact that the Prophet stood at Ghadder O Qum in front of thousands and declared that his cousin Imam Ali was his successor, a fact that was later suppressed and misinterpreted.
Imam Ali was no ordinary man he was known for justice and his courage was legendary; this is the same man the Jews never forgave for breaking down the doors of the impregnable Jewish fort called Khaybar and for defeating them in every conflict and confrontation which led them to vow revenge against him and his progeny.
Imam Ali did not fight for his inheritance as he did not want divisive conflict amongst Muslims. However Muawiyah the corrupt tyrannical ruler known for debauchery and oppression proceeded to kill and torture anyone who openly supported Imam Ali.
Muawiya a respected figure amongst Sunni’s killed Mohammed Al Bakr the son of Abu Bakr because he supported Imam Ali’s legitimate right to rule. In revenge Muawiya then proceeded to put his cut up body into the stomach of a donkey and roasted it on a spitfire. Imam Ali was also eventually killed.
Yazid took over after Muawiya’s death, he was a cruel and depraved character, far worse than his father he continued to change not only the message of Islam but also its practices. It was becoming clear to Imam Hussein who was Imam Ali’s son that he had to stand against his tyranny or Islam will become a religion of corruption and decadence. Imam Hussein with his family and supporters numbering 72 were ambushed at Karbala by Yazids army of 10,000 and brutally killed.
He was beheaded and his head was paraded around in Yazd’s court. Imam Hussein became a symbol of truth and justice against oppression and Shias have kept his message and teachings alive.
It is this message that has inspired millions over the centuries to fight against oppressors. It led Iran in1979 to overthrow American Zionist imperialism and regain their dignity from enslavement and also inspired a spirit of resistance that led Hezbollah to throw nuclear armed Israel out of Lebanon.
Over the centuries every Imam who was from the line of Prophet Muhammad has been killed, tortured and silenced, as well as anyone who followed the teachings of the Imams. At the time of Muawiya it was mandatory to curse Imam Ali after every Friday prayers.
Over the centuries Shias Sunni’s have learnt to live with each other and built on their similarities united in their love for the Koran. Unlike Christianity the only thing that has not been changed is the Koran (though there is evidence that Zionist have been busy setting up Islamic websites misrepresenting beliefs and manufactured hadiths while printing Korans with changed meanings). If anyone thinks this is not possible just look at the fake Islamic terrorist videos with Israeli’s dressed up claiming death to all westerners or the Wikipedia Jews rewriting their version of events and meaning on the internet, supported by Google and face book.
It is the continuum of these evil forces that have attempted to weaken Islam and are reflected in the practices of modern day Saudi Arabia, perpetuated in Muslim countries through Saudi financed schools, mosques, and learning centres.
Over time the Koran could not be meddled with but hadiths which are based on practices of the prophet were misconstrued. The main hadiths followed by the Sunni’s are from Bokhari a man who was born a 100 years after the prophet, while the hadiths from the family of the Prophet, people who had spent years with him have been destroyed or suppressed kept alive by the Shias.
The Saudi’s who revere Muawiya and Yazid have destroyed nearly every historic relic connected to the Prophet, for example turning his beloved wife Khadija’s house into a public toilet while building gleaming Las Vegas style shopping malls giving Zionist owned businesses like Starbucks prime positions.
Every anti Islam film has got most of its material from Bokhari’s book, a book that does not make clear that when the prophet married Aisha she was 20 not 9 and is a book that prefers the prophet to be weak and fallible and portrays the rightly guided Caliphs Abu Bakr, Umar bin Khattab and Uthman bin Affan as the infallibles.
The true message of Islam has been subverted, through the promotion of distorted hadiths, in the same way that Gordon Duff senior editor at Veterans Today asks about the real message of Christianity in “American Slaves our real destiny” questioning the validity of the bible when he states: “……Were many to have a clue where that document came from, the editing, the mistranslating, the bizarre things in it….
Any group that followed the original teachings was wiped out in centuries of slaughter, human pyres, mass burnings, executions, hundreds of sites all over Europe and the Near East.”
This continuum of an evil ideology may explain why Atzmon a tireless supporter of the Palestinians cause is not only attacked by Zionists but by the Palestinian activists living in the West with their bellies and bank accounts full signing documents labelling Atzmon an “anti Semite”. These so called activists are more worried about who is an anti Semite than about 10 year old Palestinian children held in Palestinian jails suffering mental, physical and sexual abuse.
Over the centuries Sunni Shias coexisted peacefully most of the time, often intermarrying. However the evil forces that led Muawiya and Yazid to set a precedent for future generations to warp and suppress the teachings of the Imams found a new lease of life through Mohammed ibn Abdul Wahab, who was paid by a British government spy to distort Islam by labelling those Muslims who resisted as heretics, kafirs and should be killed.
David Livingstone’s ‘Terrorism and the illuminate’ a three thousand year history’ he explains how “the British devised a method that would create a new interpretation of Islam that would sanction murder under the guise of “Jihad”. He explained how British spy Hempher worked with Abdul Wahab to implement a strategy that will further subvert Islam, by encouraging “…sex, sports, alcohol, gambling, and interest banking” a penchant of the Arab sheikhs and the Pakistani elite.
Wahab also made a pact with Ibn Saud pledging British financial assistance and arms for his military support in the enforcement of Wahabism. Saudi Arabia’s oil wealth made it possible for them to spread Wahabism through religious propaganda and finance to mosques and schools in Pakistan India Indonesia Philippines and western countries.
In London most of the media outlets, mosques and learning centres have been financed by Saudi Arabia. The funding of many organizations to propagate a Wahabi style of Islam has resulted in tension and discrimination, with Shia’s feeling they are a minority under attack. If a Shias whose method of prayers differs slightly attempts to pray in a Sunni mosque, he will have to take the risk being attacked or abused.
Saudi Arabia is aiming to build a huge $100 million dollar Islamic centre in Afghanistan; we can imagine what its real purpose will be, intolerance and churning out more foot soldiers for the Taliban.
The purpose of this article has not been to create a sectarian divide but rather Muslims need to take a factual look at history in the same way that Americans are now waking up to all the false propaganda fed to them throughout history about the Red Indians being savages; about who was really behind the slave trade?; and who really killed JF Kennedy?; who did 9/11 and who really runs Wall Street and Congress?.
The Muslim world has to also wake up and prevent this march into sectarianism that is tearing communities apart, a trap set by the advocates of the New World Order to divert attention while they steal their land and their civil liberties.
It’s also about the unspoken alliance between Saudi Arabia and Israel and how both are carrying out a continuum of a philosophy which under different names and methods has one aim, to subvert all that is good in religion, while glorifying evil, oppression corruption and enslavement of humanity for the benefit of the few – and those who think they are the ‘chosen ones’

whatever shia call themselves but they are not muslim at all.
oh yeh 12 imam? ur tweth imam went to gaar with ur full quran?? big mouth shia u r just hypocrite as ur scholars.
Actualy Jafferi Shia Belive the Quran is complete as the auther has mad reference too, however its the Suni Sect that don’t even realize its mentioned that a peice of the quran is missing as it is stated in there Lies and Chinese wisper books, here is the reference from Sunan Ibn Majah, Book of Nikah, Hadith # 1934)
Narrated Aisha ‘The verse of stoning and of suckling an adult ten times were revealed, and they were (written) on a paper and kept
under my bed. When the Messenger of Allah (SAWW.) expired and we were preoccupied with his death, a goat entered and ate away the paper.”
People Sunni islam books are created by Liers and devients there Sahih Bukhari and other books are from enamys of prophet Moahmmed PBUH so for non muslims keep this in mind those books were composed and narrated by many currupt people who wanted the prophet to look bad so they could carry on with there hypocracy, lastly im tired of kicking your ass up and down this page you realy are a sad little man you can’t even answer or state a single fact man it must suck to me a wahabi
PS.Aisha who was 20 years old at marrage was the narrator ironcaly she was involved in a power strugle after the death of the Prophet PBUH known as the battle of jamel so I wouldn.t bank on what she states as well as the fact that many claimes made in there books are refuted
Shiaism is biggest Fitnah in Islam:
1. It is Shias (early scholars) who believed that Quran has been changed by Sunni Muslims (because they could not find any support to their heretical belief).
2. It is Shias who curse wives of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) when Quran clearly mentions that they are mothers of believers (they automatically remove themselves from the category of believers by cursing Ummul Momineen).
3. It is Shias, who believe that wives of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) are not people of the Prophet’s household (they again misquote ayah 33:33 and say that the reference is not for wives, one has to read Surah 33: ayahs 31,32,33 to see how ridiculous their claims is).
4. They like Jews manipulate Hadiths and Quranic ayahs to suit their false claims. Hadiths presented above are all misquoted.
5. There is not one place or ayah in Quran that clearly mentions Imamate (Shias core belief) but when questioned, they will provide tens of reference by misquoting Quran.
6. Politically, they have always been the beneficiary of the crusade. The Persian peninsula became Shia after Arabs lost against Crusaders. Recently case, Iraq was ruled by Saddam Hussein and after the modern crusader’s invasion, the new puppet rulers are Shias.
7. Shias have never fought against the crusaders or never participated in battles for the cause of Palestine or Islam, it was always Arab Muslims like Hazrat Omar (RA) and Salahuddin Ayyubi to name few, who fought against the crusaders to liberate Palestine and successfully. Unless they have written new history to prove this claim wrong.
8. Persia which is today dominated by Shias, was liberated by Hazrat Umar’s (RA) army, instead of thanking him, these hateful Rafizis curse and abuse him.
9. The author has conveniently missed the only and key reason behind Shia killing in Pakistan which I strongly condemn, it is because these munafiqs openly curse and abuse the great companions of Prophet who 90 percent of the Pakistanis consider great religious personalities. Imagine Sunni Muslims cursing and abusing Khomeini or some other Ayatollah in the square of Tehran. And by the way Tehran is the only city in the world where there is not a single Sunni Mosque, and Iran talk of Shia Sunni brotherhood, this is the sign of Munafikeen.
10. Even today, the enemies of Islam will never attack Iran or Shia country, the drama of US/Israel v/s Iran is going on for the last 10 years, and in this very decade, millions of Muslims have been killed – almost all Sunni Muslims.
Actualy everything you have stated is a Lie firstly the 12 Imams have been quted not only in Sahih Bukhari sunni hadiths but also also in Quran here is the reference and proof,
Sahih Bukhari:
Narrated Jabir bin Samura: I heard Muhammad saying, “There will be twelve Muslim rulers.” He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, “All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish Sahih Bukhari 89.329
Also stated in Sahih Muslim : Book 020: Number 4477, 4478, 4480, 4481, 4482, 4483
> Sunan Abu Dawood : Book 36: Number 4266
> Sunan al-Tirmidhi (Arabic) Chapter of Fitan, 2:45 (India) and 4:501 Tradition # 2225 (Egypt) Hadith > #2149 (numbering of al-’Alamiyyah)
> Musnad-e-Ahmad, vol 1, pg 398
Versus from the Quran
yes we do have proof from the Holy Quran:
5:55:
“Only Allah is your Vali and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow.”
we know (based on history and hadith) that “those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow” is Imam Ali (as), as he took his ring off and gave it to the poor person WHILE praying. so it shouldn’t be a question when in our adhan we say “ash hado anna Ali (as) an vali ol Allah”.
also:
17:71:
“(Remember) the day when We will call every people with their Imam;….”
38:43:
“And We gave him his family and the like of them with them, as a mercy from Us, and as a reminder to those possessed of understanding”
5:3:
“…This day have I perfected for you your religion and completed My favor on you and chosen for you Islam as a religion; …”
(this verse was sent when Mohammad (PBUH) had choosen Imam Ali (as) as the leader of muslims after him when they were coming back from the last hajj)
Chapter 76 specially verses 7 and8:
“(7)They fulfill vows and fear a day the evil of which shall be spreading far and wide. (8) And they give food out of love for Him to the poor and the orphan and the captive”
(this was sent because Imam Ali (as), Fatima (as), Imam Hasan (as) and Imam Hussain (as) had fasted for 3 days but each time when it was time for iftar a person in needed came to their house and asked for help and they gave their food to them)
37:83:
“And lo! of his persuasion verily was Abraham”
(the original word used in the arabic version instead of “persuasion” is “Shia”)
28:15:
“And he went into the city at a time of unvigilance on the part of its people, so he found therein two men fighting, one being of his party…”
(again the original word in the arabic text instead of the word “party” is the word “Shia”)
5:12:
“And certainly Allah made a covenant with the children of Israel, and We raised up among them TWELVE chieftains…”
42:23:
“That is of which Allah gives the good news to His servants, (to) those who believe and do good deeds. Say: I do not ask of you any reward for it but love for my near relatives; and whoever earns good, We give him more of good therein; surely Allah is Forgiving, Grateful.”
3:61:
“But whoever disputes with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and our near people and your near people, then let us be earnest in prayer, and pray for the curse of Allah on the liars.”
(…And when the verse 3:61 was revealed, the Prophet called Ali, Fatimah, al-Hasan, and al-Husain. Then the Prophet said: “O Lord! These are my family members (Ahlil bayt).”

As for your comment about palestine if im not mistaken Shias are the only ones helping the Palestinians such as Hezbollah, Iran
and rather Sunni’s do nothing but aid the Isrealis such as Sausi Arabia, Bahrain, UAE, Kuwait, Pakistan with the US, Egypt so your argument is quite week,
Lastly Umer ibn Khattab opressed the persians and cruly abused and punished them it he was a tyrant and it was love of the prophets family that the Persians and paving the way as we see today,
salman al shia?? do takiya n muta.
I don’t have to do Taqiya you dirty wahabi isreali slave, im Iranian my country could wipe you off the map we are the only TRUE muslims fighting for the ummah, and all you can do is sit and watch while you hate while your dirty Saudi kings make your people clean tilets in the kingdom, while they found all the same people you suposidly hate, you probly live in Europe or American becuse not a single one of your countries practice Islamic Sharia but are also baught and sold by cirtain Masonic Countries, thats all you can do isnt it just sit there and hate on shia while Iran is the only country prcticing Sharia and only the Shia are the true opossition in Lebanon your people are nothing but a joke
and If i do muta could I have done it at the prophet SAW’s time and abu bakers time answer “YES”?,its Umer ibn Khattab Lantullah that changed it and made many Bidas as Bukhari states itself, funny you couldn’t answer a single question
The institution of Hadith has been manipulated as per one’s own leaning just like the window of Talmud was constructed to obscure the teachings of Torah thus you would find fabrications across all divides not only in Islam but also in Judaism and Christianity .. so also are the historical narratives including Shabana’s. Shabana should have also referred to David Livingstone’s book “The Dying God” wherein he bares all about religious Western Philosophy restructured on the basis of Maggis of Persia and its adherents the remnants of which you would amply find in the Muslim world too. Quraan is very explicit in reminding us that the companions of revered Mosaa AS and Eisaa AS were also named by Allah (the God) as “Muslims” just like the companions of Muhammad SAW but it is the Munafiqeen of the times prevalent then and who followed them later who named themselves as Yahud, Nasara, Jews, Christians, Sunnis, Shias etc. While people are being pitted against each other by the followers of Satan so that they can maintain the system of “accumulation” as against the divine system of “sacrifice”, we need to ask ourselves as to what extent we have been influenced and entrapped by the narratives other than explained in the Book. The more we read Quraan without any preconceived narratives the more we would be in a position to differentiate and distinguish right and wrong .. be aware that sheer enmity of the others may mar our judicious judgment.
r u a child of muta?
Ustath Syed. Salam and thank you for your excellent article and message. No doubt what we see today is not only harmful to all Muslims and Islam but crime committed against Muslims and the world. The sectarian conflict is unfortunately sponsored and promoted by religious and political leaders on both sides and it has nothing to do with ideology or faith, but it has every thing to do with with politics dirty politics. The cold blooded murders of innocent Muslims by “Jihadists” from both sides Sunnis and Shiites who commit these murders in mosques, in markets, in public places is a shame on all Muslims. Time for all of Muslims to stand up and put these criminal “Jihadists” out of business. Fighting Sectarianism start with each of us, by declaring there is no such thing as Sunni, Shiite, Hanafi, Maliki, Shafai, Hanbali, Jaafari among others but Muslim. Frankly, I think the religious leaders from both sides are the source of this poisonous evil.
author is hypocrite shia.who wants to raise doubts on bukhari n Khulfa ar rasheedeen. actually this thinking is same as there hypocrite scholars who kept cover this thinking under takiya. u ask any jew who r the best people in ur religion they will answer companion of musa (a.s). ask Christian who are the best people in ur religion they will answer companions of jesus (a.s). now ask any shia who are the worst people in history of islam. he will answer companion of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wassallam).astagfirullah. there is a hadeeth in which prophet narrates that whoever loves my companions because he loves me and whoever hate my companions because be hates me.
Typical Wahabi big mouth no evdidence firstly you talk about a “hadith” probably weak no reference,
Where the Sahih siter states Abu Huraira narrated:
The Prophet (PBUH) looked toward Ali, Hasan, Husain, and Fatimah (AS), and then said: “I am in war with those who will fight you, and in peace with those who are peaceful to you.”

So where does your precious Mauwiya and Yazeed fit into this, how about the fact that
Sunan Thirmidi: Hadith Number 3800: states
“Abu Huraira narrated that the Messenger of Allah said : “Rejoice Ammar, the transgressing party shall kill you”
So who killed Ameer ibn Yaser Ra it was Mauwiya in the battle of siffin, this shows not all sahabs follow correct However all the Ahlul bayte followd the same path with no disagreement.
So if Sahaba are all correct why are they killing one another ie (the Ridda wars), how about the 60 sahaba that claimed imam Ali A.S was successor as well as Bukhari Volume 8 Page 8 where the ummah (muslim community) did not pick abu baker instead a committee of 4 Ansars Did, Prophet Mohammed SAW stated:
“Whoever accepted me as his master, then he should also accept Ali as his master. O Allah be friendly with his friends, and be enemy”.
Ref.: i) Sahih Muslim, Vol. 2, P. 362.
ii) Mustadrak al-Hakim, Vol. 3, P. 109.
iii) Musnad of Imam Ahmed, Vol. 4, P.121.
Lastly your lies about Quran and Sunna as stated in your own Sahih books state:
“I m leaving among you something which is very important and should be followed, you will not go astray if you get hold of it after I am gone, one part of it being more important than the other: Allah’s Book, which is a rope stretched from Heaven to Earth, and my close relatives, who belong to my household. These two will not separate from one another till they come down to the reservoir, so consider how you act regarding them after my departure.” (Tirmidhi)
Based on the sahih sitter narrated two other times as well as in sahih muslim,
So I Challenge you to find amongst the sahih sitter where it states ‘follow my Quran and Sahabas’
Bravo! All very well explained, i am happy to know more on shias’ beliefs and practices. I am a christian from Quebec, roman-catholic, and i see things pretty much like you see it, thanks to Veterans Today. I am curious, what do you think of Sheikh Imran Hosein teachings about dajjal and El Mahdi?
This article, though very informative, is written with a Shia bias. The Sunnis have a different version. And without a doubt Sheikh Imran Nazar Hosein is an excellent scholar, economist and political analyst that should be heard worldwide. He is a moderate voice for Islam.
My brother I am glad to read your comments, Sheikh Imran Hosein had taken everything from Shia muslims yet bad mouths them, you see as Prophet Jesus PBUH was betrayed by some of his companions so was prophet Mohammed PBUH, not all of the companions some of them, the muslims were meant to be ruled by 12 imams as the prophet stated, this was even documented with strong evidence in sunni books EG. Bukhari, Sahih muslims, Sunan Dawud, and Sahih Trimidi, narrated by Narrated Jabir bin Samura, however the leadership was usurped by certain companions sunni refer to as great men, however amongst 60 companions Imam Ali A.S. still stayed the Imam (leader) of the time, narrations in Bukhari that can comply with Quran and are backed by sound narrators truthful ti Imam Ali A.s are Sahih, however many Narrations in Bukhari are false as the narrators Bukhari took from were against the prophet Mohammed PBUH, as even the Quran states there were hypocrites amongst Prophet Mohammed PBUH’s companions as there were many not just the 3 sunnis like you to believe, all you have heard about the Prophet Mohammed PBUH all the slanders even the child bride all are lies its like you learning about Jesus PBUH through Judus, Listen to Sayed Ammer Nakshwani he’s a great speaker and learn from shias about shias not sunni’s lastly Dejal amoungst many Shias is mora a system and not a person the system of the one eye interest and global domination, backed by the devil to all muslims as we see it
