So you're warning me about all these things about Twelver Shia, and I agree, they are pretty bad them, but Abdullah Yusuf Ali was not a Twelver. He was an Ishmali. So he is different from Twelvers. He believed different things to Twelvers. But thank you for your information about Twelvers. I can use that if I happen to speak to one. Maybe I will switch to Arberry Quran in the future anyway.
If all of the Twelvers and all of the Wahaabis fought and killed each other then world would be a better place then? I am happy for them to continue to kill each other so that we have less crazy people around. Is that bad of me? But can you even reason with people that crazy? I am not sure I could have a sensible discussion with them.
The point you seem to be trying to make is that Shias receive less criticism. I was just as shocked as the next person when found out Yasser Al-Habib was quietly broadcasting from a quintessentially English village. If Zakir Naik is banned from U.K. they should ban Yasser Al-Habib too, if only to be fair. But we should not be banning opinions, even if it's someone Zakir Naik who lies constantly, because it will just activate the persecution complex. Opinions should be where people can see them so that they can be exposed as wrong, rather than silenced.
Funny that they banned Zakir Naik, but not the people who fund him. They even put the flags half-mast when the Saudi king died - and I wanted to be sick. People cheer and clap even when Zakir Naik says the stupidest things because they are braindead.
There's a shop near me that sells Hookahs (probably owned by an Arab) and I really want one... Then all I need is a Fez. But smoking is pretty bad so it'll just be for show.
