A verse from the Quran:
"Verily this Quran doth guide to that which is most right"
So please shiraz, no hard feelings but all of your text and all the books were you got the text defaming the Sahaba are CRAP! Nothing but works of shetan in order to deflect us from the right path.
Another verse from the Quran:
"We only send the Messengers to give glad tidings and to give warnings: But the Unbelievers dispute with vain argument, in order therewith to weaken the truth, and they treat My Signs and warnings as a jest"
There is no point in disputing on arguments that are of no use, especially disgracing the first person who accepted Islam with text that has no proof of its authenticity. Give me proof by the Quran! I could promise you that you would never find anything in the Quran disgracing Abu Bakr (as). Also there is no proof that there were fights between the sahabas, it is only vain arrgument.
I respect Ali (as), Fatima (rz) and Ayesha, as they were all very close to the Prophet.
I believe that this discussion is meaningless, if you really want to understand which belief is better than visit the "shias, sunni?" thread.
Remember the main idea of Islam is to follow the five pillars, and yes, the five pillars are mentioned again and again in the Quran.
AOA,
Yahya

Brother Shair, how rude of you to say something like that to a Muslim brother!, age is not a factor in measuring wisdom, Allah gives knowledge and wisdom to those who seek for it and he goves to those whom he wants.
Watcher also don't insult any sect, give your point of views in an explanatory manner. I don't know if you hav e done that, but if you haven't please forgive me.
Allah knows best...
