Re: Ali a.s or mavia
sad to know that u think Islam is limited to just one family....
ditto ...what is sadder is that this kind of irrational partisan approach expressed here which u are criticsing is not reflective of Ali or his sons and supporters
plz refer to prayer #4 of sahiffa-e-sajadiyah
re: supporting Ali is concerned it has nothing to do with muawiyah personally, if anyone else had fought him it wud have been the same ...as we know from a variety of ahadith narrated by numerous sources that Haqq was with Ali and his supporters...those who hated him were munafiqs
