You getting a bit a personal, eh? Sunnis not using their brains! Well I can retort in kind but my faith does not allow me being abusive.
Peace brother. I am not being personal or attacking.
That is my opinion and confirmed by someone to me who was a Sunni. The person told me that as Sunnis they are always taught to ignore what Shias are saying as they are misled and listen to no evidence or argument. Just ignore them.
As a shia, we were always told to listen, understand and then respond - though i have never found that courtesy being reciprocated.
I am not saying all Shias are saints and there are black sheep, but being abusive is not our trait but of the other side. You can check history to see who abused our Imam Ali from the pulpit and ordered others to do the same. Had Hujr (a companion) and his associates to be slaughtered brutally.

So please keep it respectful – I am not trying to convert you – Hidayyah in the hands of Allah (swt). He it is who guides whom He wills.

I reserve the right to present views backed by authentic references even if they are not to your liking.

I reserve the right to question their authenticity. I have seen this kind of analysis of sources in Sunnis - "this person is thiqa but we cannot accept his transmission since he was on Ali's side."
I think this destroys all claim of objectivity and reliability of the "sahihs".

Please don’t state of Sunni beliefs of what you are ignorant of – Please first go and learn what Sunnis Believe in and then comment – don’t swallow lock stock and barrel what your Ayatullahs/Zakirs feed you in their colourful sermons.

I dont listen to Ayatullahs and definitely Zakirs. I think a college education, inquisitive mind and passion to read is enough for me.

Of course it's Allah (swt) who has taken the responsibility for preserving the Quran but He has used these noble pious servants of His for this noble task.
Please go and read up on compilation of the Quran – Then go up and read what many Shia scholars have said about the authenticity of the present Quran that we have. Please don’t touch this subject as you have said we are going off track.
You are welcome to open a new thread on this topic.

So Allah needed the help of these "pious" souls and Prophet (SAW) left the job unfinished. It defies logic my dear friend.
[quote]
See what happens to those who abuse whom the Prophet (saw) befriended and those whom he married. Famous ayatullahs and Zakirs must have been happy to be graced by your presence and then saddened to see you depart.
[/quote]
By the same logic Allah befriended Iblees and elevated him to the level of Angels. I will leave it here.

So far it was going quite civil so let’s leave it like that otherwise I’ll say Salaams and leave you to it carry as you want. I like company of pleasant people even though we may not agree.
I have so attention to convert/revert you. I am stating what Sunnis believe in and you don’t have to accept it. And am certain that you won’t.

Ok then please answer my questions or clarify on my observations about the SUnni Faith
- Prophet (SAW) was not a masoom or he could commit error
- All Sahaba are Aadil
- Respecting people who shed blood of thousands of muslims and caused Fitnah and giving them Sawab for it since it was "a mistake of Ijtihad"
- When there is anything against Ahlul Bayt at face value and creating lengthy and twisted justifications for numerous violations of their opponents.
- The issue of matn only arises in the case of praise of ahlul bayt and when exposing the truth about their opponents and not vice versa.
- Any Fasiq/Fajir can be an Imam of prayer and Ummat

Please pray that Allah (swt) keeps me steadyfast on my faith that leads straight to Jannah - I have no attention of visiting Hell even for a casual visit to meet friends/mentors.

trust me you will not find me hurling abuse at any point. I have already clarified what I meant in the top section.
W'salam Brother, may Allah guide you to the right path and take you to Jannah. That is my sincere prayer.
Cheers
