Overall religions advocate to submit to God, so 1-3 proves that the claim we ought to submit to God to be true. So it proves in general, then the premises get more specific as to why 12ver Shiism is the correct one.
Simply advocating something doesn't make it true, and 1-3 are the claims (well, they are more like incoherent ramblings, but for arguments sake let's acknowledge it as claim), claims don't prove themselves, no matter how much you narrow them down. The claims that you think prove islam, I can provide similar "proof/claim" from hinduism, and hinduism being much older and broader has much more vague bs than islam. You need to realize philosophical ideas aren't proof of anything, and neither is the language or method you use to assert those claims. If you truly believe in the divine, ask the divine to convince the heathens here, and if that fails, please consider the remote possibility that maybe you are wrong.

With religions of this size, holes are easily taken advantage of. Who cares about the Quran when you got 16000 Hadiths?
That's why places like the Middle East have grudges that never are quenched, if somebody's religion is hate that is 1400 years old, or 2000 years old or heck: more; how is there any hopes for peace?
They will keep fighting forever.
The founding "prophet" tried peace, failed utterly, then moved on to violence, why would the followers be any peaceful?
