What Shi'ites say about Sunni Muslims So when a Shi'ite Insults a Sunni he is also Insulting all the Scholars and all of those pious people in Islam, can't these Shi'ites see what is wrong with their own beleifs??? Dear Brothers and Sisters in Islam, what I am going to show you is the truth about what the Shi'ites think of us Sunni Muslims. The Shi'ites say this regarding Sunni Muslims "Although Allah, the Exalted, has not created a creature worse than a dog, yet a Nasbi (ie. islamicweb.com /beliefs/cults/shia_sunni.htm   (327 words)

Asia Times - Part 2: Slowly building bridges Now it is for Shi'ites and Sunnis in other parts of the world to build on the Iraqi example and seek to bridge the gulf separating the two sects to promote harmony and peace undeterred by the bigotry of extremists and the machinations of imperialist powers. In fact, in the early days of Islam, mainstream Shi'ites were not excluded from the life of the Muslim community, even though Sunni and Shi'ite scholars used to engage in quite heated debates even then. While the basic scripture, the Holy Koran, is the same in the case of both sects, the Shi'ites prefer to rely on some different sayings of the Prophet and different narrators. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/EH28Ak03.html   (1855 words)

IranExpert:Muslim Extremists Entering Iraq Modest numbers of Iranian Shi'ites have also managed to enter Basra in southeastern Iraq to support Iraqi Shi'ites there; British and U.S. troops have warned them to stay out of the way of coalition forces. And Iraqi Shi'ites and Iranian Shi'ites are not ideological soul mates; fears after Gulf War I that the two would join up to carve out a separate state aligned with Iran proved to be unfounded. Intelligence reports aren't conclusive about the number of terrorists who have entered, but small groups of Islamic Jihad and Hizballah agents have already infiltrated the country, and "we've got people paying attention to both approaches, from Syria and Jordan," says a U.S. counterterrorism official. www.iranexpert.com /2003/muslimextremists7april.htm   (1855 words)

Faith, Practice, and Law in Sunni and Shi'i Islam The Isma'ili Shi'ites (or 7-Imam Shi'ites), diverged from the majority Ja'fari or 12-Imam Shi'ites since they regarded the seventh and last Imam to be Isma'il, the eldest son of Ja'far al-Sadiq. In contrast, the 12-Imam Shi'ites do not accept Isma'il, who predeceased his father, as their seventh imam.

Religious cults, sects, movements and doctrines - Shi'a The Shi'ites, as those comprising the Shi'a sect are called, splintered from the Sunnis primarily over the question of the Caliphate. Though there are various interpretations, Shi'ites generally believe that the wilaya has been passed down through the subsequent generations of `Ali's descendants. In fact, the word Shi'ite means ''partisan'' and indicates that Shi'ites are ''partisans of `Ali'' (Rood, 1994). www.apologeticsindex.org /s31.html   (530 words)

Boston.com / News / World / Middle East / Fractured Iraq sees a Sunni call to arms Sunni sheiks claim that Iran sent millions of people across the border posing as Iraqi Shi'ites to pad the vote totals of Shi'ite Islamic parties during the recent election. ''The Americans aren't the problem; we're living under an occupation of Kurds and Shi'ites," Sattar Abdulhalik Adburahman, a Sunni leader from the northern city of Kirkuk, told a gathering of tribal leaders last week, to deafening applause. BAGHDAD -- For the first time, Sunni Muslim sheiks are publicly exhorting followers to strike with force against ethnic Kurds and Shi'ites, an escalation in rhetoric that could exacerbate the communal violence that already is shaking Iraq's ethnic communities. www.boston.com /news/world/middleeast/articles/2005/03/27/fractured_iraq_sees_a_sunni_call_to_arms   (530 words)

APPENDIX III PRACTICES IN RITUAL SHItISM The religious rites practiced by Twelve-Imam Shi'ites are es sentially the same as those of the Sunnis with certain minor modifications of posture and phrasing which are little more than the differences that are to be found among the Sunni schools (madhhabs) themselves, except in the addition of two phrases in the call to prayer. The visit to the tombs of Imams and saints plays an integral role in the religious life of Shi'ites, one which in fact is compensated for in a way in the Sunni world by visits to the tombs of saints or what in North Africa are called tombs of marabouts. Shi'ites also perform supererogatory prayers and prayers on special occaions such as moments of joy, fear and thanksgiving, or when visiting a holy place of pilgrimage. www.balagh.net /english/shia/shia/14.htm   (1004 words)

Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source for the Middle East More to the point, the Americans were to safeguard the Shi'ites' right to be the dominant group, and were to protect them from the re-emergence of another form of Sunni-dominated tyranny at the end of Saddam's tyranny. By urging the Shi'ites to sit on the fence in the initial days following the ouster of dictatorship in Iraq, Sistani has assured a dominant political status for the Shi'ites in the Iraqi arena of power. Sistani refused to grant audience to the foreign viceroy, thereby creating even a semblance of endorsing the US occupation. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/FA17Ak02.html   (1004 words)

The Origins of the Sunni/Shia split in Islam The phrase "Twelver Shi'ites" is used interchangeably with "Ja'fari Shi'ites" and "Imami Shi'ites" in various literature. Muslims must know this, and ought to refrain from unjust prejudice to any particular school of thought, since the religion of Allah and His Divine Law (Shari'ah) was never restricted to a particular school of thought. The term Shia or Shi'ite derives from a shortening of Shiat Ali or partisans of Ali. www.islamfortoday.com /shia.htm   (793 words)

View topic - Muslim Denominations Jesus Christ Forums Some of the differences between the Sunnis and the shi'ites is that Shi'ites believe in the 12 Imams,they differ on political issues,and some reject the hadiths. All sects except Sunnis, Shi'ites, Sufis, and Wahabbis have their own prophet and their own writings. Wahabbis are mostly found in Saudi Arabia, they follow a more strict Islam close to this of those in Afghanestan (Taliban). www.freejesus.net /home/viewtopic.php?t=4021   (854 words)

Asia Times - Asia's most trusted news source for the Middle East At first Hassan disputed Muawiya's claim to leadership, but he finally compromised, and this reference can only be directed at Iraq's Shi'ites, who are the descendants of those who wanted Mohammed's family, starting with Ali, to lead Muslims, asking them to compromise and let Muawiya's descendants, the Sunnis, maintain power. The divide between Hussein and Yazid split the Muslim world into Sunnis and Shi'ites and centuries of fitna, or strife, between the two communities, with Shi'ites revering Hussein and hating Hazid while Muawiya and the Sunnis defended them while disparaging Hussein and his followers. Hassan was the son of Ali, who expected to succeed his father as caliph but was turned down for Muawiya, a man from a family that rivaled the prophet's Hashem tribe. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/FC23Ak02.html   (1948 words)

Had Shi'ites been a part of the resistance movement at this stage, the US would have had a difficult time in keeping its presence in Iraq. Sources in the Afghan resistance movement informed Asia Times Online in written material sent through ordinary mail that the mujahideen decided before the US invasion of Iraq to make that country a hub of their activities. www.atimes.com /atimes/Middle_East/FK13Ak01.html   (1020 words)

Rice Downplays Prospect of Theocratic Rule in Iraq While many Sunni Muslims boycotted the elections or were afraid to vote because of the insurgency, the country's majority Shi’ites trooped to the polls in large numbers and appear poised to win control of the country's new National Assembly. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says she does not think Iraq is headed toward Iranian-style Islamic rule, despite what she said was an extremely strong showing by Shi’ites in the January 30th election. Rice said everything U.S. officials are seeing suggests that the Shi’ites understand their responsibility not to do to their fellow Iraqis what was done to them during the Sunni-based dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein. www.voanews.com /english/2005-02-08-voa75.cfm   (489 words)

Pepe_Escobar-part2 The turning point, as far as the Shi'ites are concerned, may have been expressed by the funeral oration of Abdul Aziz al-Hakim, brother of slain Grand Ayatollah al-Hakim, in front of a crowd of half a million grieving Shi'ites in Najaf. Slightly before his assassination in front of the Imam Ali Shrine in Najaf on August 29, Grand Ayatollah Mohammed Baqr al-Hakim, the moderate spiritual chief of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution in Iraq (SCIRI) warned that "some groups wanted to create conflict among Shi'ites, and others want to create conflict among Arabs".

Short Introduction to Shi'ism Twelver Shi'ites believe that he hid himself, suspended between Heaven and Earth in what is termed "occultation." There, he takes a hand in world affairs by guiding, along with the previous 11 Imams, current Shi'ite spiritual leaders. Twelver Shi'ites believe that one day he will returned as the Rightly Guided One, the Mahdi, to usher in the Day of Judgment. Twelver Shi'ites are the most numerous and follow a line of Imams from Ali down to Muhammad al-Muntazar al-Mahdi: faculty.juniata.edu /tuten/islamic/shiism.html   (349 words)

Najaf, Karbala, and the Shiites of Iraq Shi‘ites commemorate Husayn’s martyrdom on the tenth of the Islamic month of Muharram, by reenacting it in elaborate passion plays. (Twelver Shi‘ites today dominate Iran, constitute roughly 60% of the population of Iraq – though Saddam Hussein and his government were, at least nominally, Sunni &; and have a significant presence in southern Lebanon.) Ever since, Shi‘ites have cultivated a sense of grievous wrong, of oppression by tyrannous infidel usurpers, as well as what can justly be described as a religious cult of martyrdom. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-religion/906196/posts   (349 words)

The Abassid Dynasty As with his predecessors, he tried to incorporate Shi'ites into the Islamic government, but his entire reign was spent in quelling disturbances among Shi'ites and anit-Shi'ites. The 'Abbasids, in adopting Iranian culture in part and in distancing themselves from their Semitic origins (for instance, by instituting Mamluk armies), further accelerated the cultural divisions in the world of Islam. The 'Abbasids remained as caliphs until 1030, but they were only figureheads. www.wsu.edu /~dee/ISLAM/ABASSID.HTM   (1383 words)

As-Saffah - encyclopaedia The Shi'ites had hoped that their imam would be named head of the Caliphate, inaugurating the era of peace and prosperity the millenialists had believed would come. The civil war was marked by millenial prophecies encouraged by the beliefs of some Shi'ites that Abu al-'Abbas was the mahdi. The Banu Hashim had great support from Shi'ites who thought that the family, which had produced Muhammad and' Ali, would produce another great leader or Mahdi who would liberate Islam. www.fulsi.com /Al-Saffah.html   (1976 words)

Hizbullah: The Calculus of Jihad by Martin Kramer Hizbullah did not have the means to turn the world upside-down, but it had fought and bought its way to the hearts of perhaps as many as half of Lebanon's politically active Shi'ites. Hizbullah's war with Amal also caused deep anguish among the clerics, for it involved the killing of Shi'ites by Shi'ites. Hizbullah's progression from suicide bombings to airliner hijackings to hostage holding made it an obsession of the media and the nemesis of governments. www.geocities.com /martinkramerorg/Calculus.htm   (8586 words)

Sobaka :: A Tale of Two Sadrs: Lebanon 1982/Iraq 2004 The Shi'ites in Lebanon, like the Shi'ites in Iraq, were the most numerous people in their country but deprived of political influence for decades. But it is also understood that since the independence of Lebanon in 1946, the Shi'ites were deprived of participation in the "confessional," or the quota system which balanced the religious groups across Lebanon's political system. I was new to reporting in the Middle East in 1982 and I did not understand the meaning of the sleeping giant awakening in the poor Shi'ite slums of South Lebanon. www.diacritica.com /sobaka/2004/sadr.html   (8586 words)

Regnum Crucis One might note that the lack of attacks on US troops should be understood as an utter failure of Khamenei's attempt to spin the bombing as being the fault of the US and Israel (???) given that Iraqi Shi'ites seem to know damned well who was responsible for the bombing. Note that most Shi'ites in places like Karbala, Kut, Tal Afar, and An Najaf are protesting which, despite the Jamaat-e-Ulema-Islami's bitching, is probably a good idea since it gives Shi'ites a way to vent off steam over the attacks without resorting to the gun and machete methods. Of course, if Iraq disintegrates into sectarian violence, it won't matter very much who the Mahdi Army plans on attacking since their sectarian activities will more or less be usurped by other, better-organized militias. www.regnumcrucis.blogspot.com   (6101 words)
