i think retarted part is when i open a hadith which is found only in shia books and try to convince a sunni to agree with me over it. and then claiming "I have got a point against sunni's" coz shia books say so and so
I can only calim sumthing like that when i have found something in Quran or Sahi Bukhari (or other sunni books) and reffering to that when i say "i Have got a point against sunnis"
Convincing is not the only reason people debate. I think debate gives us a reason to learn. If a sunni tells me that i have got this point against ur religion and if it makes just a little sense to me i will go out and ask questions to my aalim's or people who know more about Islam than me... and gain a little knowledge about islam. Now it depends on people how they debate some use curse words and make it personal issue which is a wrong way but if we try to keep debate sweet therez alot we can learn... Even if we talk about this forum i know debates go no where but we learn y shia's have such and such believes and sunni's have such and such believes.
I pray that everyone see's light but i also think that most of the times a person will go out and seek who is rite if he thinks he is wrong at first place. and for us to know we are wrong people have to tell us why do they think we are wrong.
Wasalam.

Salam,
To be honest, I dont believe in that one bit. Its easier said then done, something that hasn't shed light in 1500 years, isn't going to be understood and accepted by couple of people on a forum. Its just impossible, for that reason, sab apni apni fikar karein, and pray that they're guided before they go out to guide others.
Tolerance needs to spread, and people need to keep to their own values and beliefs, as long as respect and virtuous acts remain between them. Debating (even positively and in a healthy manner) is not the answer. Perhaps instead of asking another Sunni, you may want to research on it yourself. Or a sunni instead of asking a Shia, may want to research himself and ask Allah for guidance.
Bro, no one will let go of their books and beliefs. Unless Allah guides them.
It doesn't matter if you bring something from the Quran and Bukhari or wherever, sunnis will bring something from the same sources too! Its cyclical.
If the sahabas weren't tolerant with each other, ISlam wouldn't have spread out of Medina!
