It is the fault of the Church.
Everything that has happened in this direction in the last 2,000 years is because a very weak Church has never shown any real strength to promote morals.
And this applies to ALL Christian denominations.

Yes, brother, he could.
But since he is Christian, I think he would quote the Bible, if he did quote anything at all.
And in any case, it would be more useful to quote the Bible, because most countries that have embraced homosexuality have a Christian history and background.

This is a lie.
Many Sunni scholars, especially in India and Pakistan, such as Dr. Tahirul Qadri and Maulana Tariq Jameel, have great love and respect for Imam Ali.
But some of them also accept hadiths that place Abu Bakr and Umar above Imam Ali.  
In their hearts, they might believe that Imam Ali was the greatest but they will never say it in public.
And that is a big problem.

Found this by accident. The stage actor Ed Winn has this inscribed on his tomb: "Dear God:  .   Thanks"

عيسى بن مريم عليه السلام: 
طوبى للمتراحمين، أولئك هم المرحومون يوم القيامة
"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be the ones receiving mercy on judgement day"
Jesus Son of Mary (عليه السلام) 
Tuhaf al U'qool 501

But he is not strong enough to denounce homosexuality publicly, citing biblical references, etc.

Subhanallah I am 22 and have been experiencing the same thing for years now. anyways hamdullilah I follow my religion parents exactly like yours but we didn’t really live an Islamic life but what I realised is talking just would annoy your sister even mine. don’t over mention religious things. It will go through one ear and out the other. Honestly from experience of myself and others is it takes something Bad to happen for someone to realise or change for me salat gave me a purpose. Just focus on yourself follow the lifestyle of Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) be humble nice kind loving and inshallah they see that and would catch on. 
 
 
Remember everyone has their own story maybe Say for example you sister gets heart broken she will realise what am I doing and pull up etc. 
 
 

Never give up faith and that your family can change, and keep them in your prayers do that inshaallah Zareey will be guided. But even if they don't, know that an understanding person and/or their family that is considering to marry you knows that they shouldn't judge your iman by your family's iman. The fact that you've kept your iman despite being surrounded by people in your family and community that aren't practicing Muslims says a lot about your will to hang on to your iman mashaallah and alhamdollilah! Inshaallah you fill find an understanding and good spouse one day when it's right! 
P.S. many religious people have family that aren't religious, so it's not as uncommon as you may think!

Salam.
Brother protect your younger sister who's 12 who wears hijab and prays. Don't just be an older brother and strict on her, it might make her repel from you. Be her older brother and guide her but also be her best friend so she can be honest with you and ask your for help when needed.
As for your other sisters unfortunately I don't know what advice to give.
Many families have their siblings who don't do their wajib acts unfortunately. All we can do is live by example if they don't listen.
 
 

Salam,
Let me just start by saying that you already did your part. Insisting only makes things worse. Use less words and more action. This includes praying infront of them, or reading the Qur'an loudly if you want to. Islam is all about encouragement, and unfortunately I believe that one of the reasons why the youth do not consider faith is because a lot of our families either make it seem like our religion is forceful or that they're not bothered to teach their kids at all. When forcing a child to pray by using threats or other type of language, it later does more harm than good. Parents should learn to keep an environment that's supportive in faith and other aspects.
I really do not know how to answer this. What is your mum's view about your sisters, considering that she's a convert. I'm not trying to judge here or make an assumption, but I did hear that a lot of converts are not that religious (there are some who are tho). If people are going to talk, let them talk. Between you and Allah is what matters.
There are a lot of good potential women out there. Just give it some time and Insha Allah khair
No mistakes brother your english is perfect mashallah
fee amanillah

What global warming!.
Iraq seems to be cooling down.
The good thing is that the snow is adding to the beauty of the otherwise arid desert landscape in Iraq.    

Salam many times similar case happened for  Shias that due Taqyia , they forgot their Shia roots & ancestry even they became  anti Shia after generations , I think this video can help you to understand it better 
Reborn - Searching for my father led me to finding Shi'ism
 

I think Islam would expect you to tell her that
a) she is committing a great sin and b) if she persists, it might be better to separate. I believe you do have the option to forgive her.
But if you don't trust her, it may be foolish to take that option and better to go your separate ways.
Best wishes, my friend.   
May Allah guide you and help you resolve your problem.

Why did you marry this man?
You don't have to answer if it's too personal, but at least think about it..

Shiachat is a public forum from many different nationalities and age. Don't take the responses as guidelines, since it can affect your situation in bad ways.
Do you have any siblings that can help you out and maybe talk to your husband.

If Arabic is so important to you, why didn’t you marry someone who knew Arabic? Did you expect him to learn a foreign language as an adult and teach it to your kids too?
Kids don’t necessarily end up like their fathers or their parents. You do your part by teaching them the religion and the language, and putting them in a good environment. What is most important are their prayers and their morals. All they really need in Arabic is some reading comprehension, otherwise you can live a righteous life treating it as a liturgical language. 
As for your husband, perhaps try introducing him to religious families, going to events, watching lectures or reading books together, watching a religious tv series or movie. You can’t just nag someone into religiosity, it must be inspired and cultivated. 

The heavy rain has not been able to extinguish all the fires. A few are still burning but are expected to be put out shortly. 

In fact, it is not just Hindus & Sikhs who have lavished their praises on our Imams.
 
As just one example, the Christian scholar George Jordach says about lmam Ali as follows:-
