Ok I know a little bit about Al Hufoof geography as well, so tell me where were you?

Well, facts prove otherwise.
Shias believe, according to their books:

What facts would they be?
That you all are far, far, and FAR WORSE-OFF than the shias!
Sure, The shias believe according to their books!
Why?
Should they believe according to your SAHIH SITAH which talks about:
1) The prophet going to namaz in 'sperm-stained clothes'.
2) The prophet having SEX with all his wives in one night.
ETC. (may you all burn in this hell and here-after)
FINALLY, you have NOTHING to offer in your writings other than hate which, btw, is what your creed is based upon. You are useless as human beings and followers of a Religion.
Serial;
I see that you and Khoon are bent upon insulting our shia brothers. You conveniently over-looked the hadiths I posted from our books showing that the way shias pray is in conformance with our holy prophet's (pbuh) sunnah.
With regards to shia hadiths, you will be surprised to learn that they have a very stringent method which they apply to hadiths to see whether that they are authentic, doubtful, or false. This involves tracing the hadith back all the way through the chain of narrators to our holy prophet (pbuh) himself.
The chain of narrators must be complete and the history and character of each narrator transmitting the hadith must be flawless. Anything less and the hadith will be considered of lesser importance.
Al-Kafi consists of many hadiths (more than sunni hadiths) and for each hadith, the shia scholars judge it according to their stringent standards.
In the end, Al-Kafi said it well when he stated in his book to "accept all hadiths that are in conformance with the qur'an and to reject all hadiths which go against the verdicts of the quran". This is much better than our own beliefs which teaches us to accept all of what our Sahih Sittahs contain.
We are in the 21st century and it should be beneath us to accuse a group of people without fully understanding their beliefs. And this can only be done in if we are unbiased in our study of their books.

If you take some time to read Najal Balagah - the sermons of Hazrat Ali - you will know who started the war.
But first, take an unbiased view. This will be better for you.
Gandalf, when you ATTRIBUTE something to me, please QUOTE and SHOW me. Thanks.

What, where, which insult?
AND WHEN IT IS SAID TO THEM: “DO NOT MAKE MISCHIEF ON THE EARTH”, THEY SAY “WE ARE ONLY PEACE-MAKERS” VERILY, THEY ARE THE ONES WHO MAKES MISCHIEF, BUT THEY PERCEIVE NOT"-[Qur’an-2:11-12]
What is wrong here. Does anyone want to go into real Shia Sunni debates - tell me. Its harsh to the last word (but true)
The question was Shia and Sunni Mosques -
Sunnis have mosques anywhere they want of any standard - and hold the regular salat and also Jumat-ul-Mubarak salat in every one. While Shias usually have a combo situation. i.e. Mosque + Imambargah; where prayers are only headed in the mosque and prayers are held as Fajr, Zohrain and Maghrebain. and Jumatul-Mubarak prayers are held at selected mosques that qualify on the standard that is nearly 6 miles distance per mosque for Juma prayers - as per their sharia. Imambargahs are memorabilia of the descendents of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Which originally mostly are in Iraq and Iran.
I would advise that you visit a selection of Shia and Sunni mosques to get your own perspective.
Namaz combos legacy is that After Zohar - the time of Asr starts expiring on Maghreb. and also the same for Maghreb + Isha.
Shia mosques will always be built on land purchased with no holdings or liabilties and will always be managed by a Board. While most sunni mosques can be found anywhere - i.e. in the middle of playgrounds and on illegal occupied property (I have witnessed this in Pakistan)
Shia mosques will always have the Panjetan Names inscribed on the doors, walls - and may also have the names of the twelve Imams (descendents of Ali), will have very uniform looks
Shia Mosque Imams will always be found wearing an Amama as headgear. Black for Syeds and White for non Syeds. The Amama would be wound cirularly and would be canted aft - very slightly.
I hope this somewhat answers the original question of the thread
And my heart throbbed with an exquisite bliss
They think the books are authentic. none of them have stated in a 100% way that the books are exactly accurate. All of them use the word if. doesnt it seem kinda strange?
