You're a Shia Mystic, aren't you ? bashing Sunna secretly through referring to them as the "majority" ? Big Grin

Gotta love today's Muslims

They aren't two different things, reason and God's Name, nor is reason totally without a mystic/spiritual aspect.

That's why I never believed Shia stuff in my life.

Believing stuff because it's written in a story book is not reason. It's the opposite of reason.

Shouldn't you, then, move on from Islam, Mystic?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

This proposal of yours doesn't seem to be working on you.  I really thought, for a moment there...we might be on to something...lol.

I didn't get answer yet.

I just did a miracle. Is that enough proof?

The 'War on Terror' created more terror, ironically. For Westerners is a guise to take away hard fought for freedoms. For those in Africa and Asia it's an excuse for the United States war machine to spread imperialism. The arms manufacturers must love it!

When innocent people are killed by stone strikes what do they think will happen? Malala even told Obama, when she net him in the White House, "No more drone strikes in Pakistan please, because you're making the situation worse." You get these morons, Republican voters, who talk about freedom but then actually would love a Fascist police state for America.

We hardly agree on anything, but on that you're spot on.
