haha so u think muslims have always been neatly divided into 2 sects shias and sunnis…where does it say in quran and hadith that there are just 2 viewpoints in islam ? or thats ur own assumption based on ur ignorant interpretation
thats a oversimplification and ignorant opinion worthy of bill o reilly and ann coulter.confused are those who believe in infalliability and imamat as pillar of religion even though prophet said nothing of the sort and BLINDLY follow their mullahs like 12ers
my views are very much same as the muslims in those day and age before all the fiqahs were formulated and sects were formed so in this way i am very much a puritin muslim, although i do value judgements of imam abu hanifa over all others as he was the most senior of imams and was from kufa.
