All this talk of the twelve imams reminded me of this video:
(because apparently some Wahaabis think Jafari is legitimate. wtf?)
Lots of dislikes from butthurt Wahaabis when the lies of their pseudo scholars are exposed. I am sure Yusuf Estes and his gaggle of yes-people are happy about the execution of Nimr al-Nimr.

In regard to my old video, somebody raised that before. It's old. I found some weird Arabic products in a local supermarket and decided to comment. That beef thing I had wasn't too great; there was a chicken version as well. It looked very processed so I was surprised it was considered Halal, considering a nice cut of gammon would clearly be healthier than that garbage.
Maybe you will inform me pork is not really forbidden either now? I remember posting a topic about how the Quran only forbids the flesh of pigs, not the offal. Blood is always haram of course, but it helps to make nice gravy I think (why waste the blood? which is also good replacement for eggs when baking).
N.B. Bacon flavour crisps/chips don't contain any bacon so they must be Halal? They have never been near a pig. Always confused me because if you cook it properly pig meat can be part of a balanced and healthy diet.
A translation would be a one hard job. Religion, language & literature are not my major, hence the English you see me use is self taught. The Quran is 600 pages, after all.
I left the profiting from selling the Quran to the swarms of ignorant Muslims, who clearly missed this verse :
(Sura 3 Verse 77 ) Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their [own] oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter, and Allah will not speak to them or look at them on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He purify them; and they will have a painful punishment.
It should be offered for free. Profiting from it is something I condemn.
And I don't quite understand what you meant by saying "You don't have to have sex with Saudi establishment figures to make millions from Quran."
Anyhow, I don't like to judge, but Estes seems like a smart businessman. He knew how to make millions, religion was the bridge he chose. I'm not judging his belief, but some things he's saying are pretty weird for a "salafi". I also can't get what Twelvers have to do with Estes. I have no info on Jafari Shia, I will read about them though.
As for Nimr, killing him was a mistake. Saudi Arabia is digging its own grave by this.
As for pork, it's prohibited through a very clear verse, so no, I believe that it's totally forbidden to be consumed.
I tend to see my meals as a black/white thingy : it either has pig, or doesn't have pig. You complicate things, ummm I think it's pretty easy to decide if something has pork in it or not.
WOF
there's no danger of somebody getting drunk & run over a group of kids with a Jeep in paradise, that's my theory why it's completely allowed in heaven with no regulation.
