Re: United Muslims: Shia+Sunnis+Wahabis
Bao Bihari, these polemics r not as 1 sided as u think…when u say Shia abuse “wives” of the Prophet then u basically just mean Bibi Aisha…quoting a fact is not abusing…abusing is plain wrong and will be what Muawiya institutionalized against Ali ibne Abi Talib where the later, despite no wrongdoings, was abused for a century …as for Aisha, she did lead army against caliph of her time…and tht resulted in 20,000 muslims (including sahaba) being killed in battle of Jamal alone…we love the other wives and in fact get upset further when we read tht Aisha used to mock Bibi Khadija (sa) and kept on breaking injunctions after another which resulted in a lot of damage to Islamic society…is there any Quranic immunity for these? does Quran not reprimands the wives of double chastisement if they do wrong?.. so it is better not to discuss this as I know tht u respect her and love her…and u r free to do so…after all she narrates like 1/3 of Sunni hadiths…
Such polarization of characters is no uncommon in other religions…take Christianity where they highly revere Saint Paul and he is the central figure for them…but the fact is tht Saint Paul killed the successors of Isa (as) whom Prophet Isa had designated himself!!!
but sunnis wud say …aisha was just asking justice for uthman’s killers
uthman was killed by forefathers of shias
You know the usual arguments on both sides I’m sure, whats the point of a HISTORICAL debate when we cant even agree on the same sources.
