There were many Shi'a government/kings/dynasties in the past

If in some xyz country, an Islamic leader is voted to power and rule according to law of land honestly and God-fearing, then there's no issue. He can later bring good things from Islam. However, to suggest that you establish Islamic government in a non-muslim country, say: US or France, then that is not possible. The point is if you are living peacefully and able to practice your religion then one should not rebel. I'm sorry brother but it should be the one who claims something give proof. Our brother in OP has consistently claimed and encouraged something for which he failed to provi

There are many common sunnis converting everyday. One recent example -

I don't know how much if I understand you correctly but I'm advocating for three major points in the context of this thread. 1. Dawah is good. There should be more of it. 2. No Imam (عليه السلام) asked us to strive for establishing any government. I requested one hadith from Aimma (عليهم اسلام) and didn't get anything except claims. 3. If an Islamic scholar is elected leader of country then there's no problem. Problem arises with uprising against a country you are living in peace.

May Allah (سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى) bless his soul.

There's whole chapter in book Gunahane Kabirah (Greater sins) for music. Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq(عليه السلام) reports from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said: “I prohibit for you dancing and playing flute, drums and tabla.” Amir ul-Mu’minīn ‘Ali (عليه السلام) says, “Angels do not even enter a house that has wine, drum, tambourine or a flute. Even the prayers of the inhabitants of this house are unacceptable. They are deprived of barakat.” Hazrat Imam ‘Ali ar-Riďa (عليه السلام) has said, “To listen to a musical instrument is one of the Greater Sins.” https://www.

Truth has not reached to them is one thing and they didn't made any effort to find out the truth is another. The latter (Jahil al-muqassir) is fully responsible for his/her lack of knowledge on the matter.

Both of you are constantly mixing things. No one is denying doing dawah to Islam. Start wherever you are. Do dawah with your words and actions and spread the teachings of Ahlulbayt (عليهم اسلام). What we are talking is establishing Islamic government. This thing would not be established unless thousands are either put behind bars or killed in rebellion. Even if you get into power in one country and make shariah laws then there's no guarantee you would be able to implement and run true shariah law without an infallible. Infact, there are chances it would come back to same old ways with he

How can you guarantee the Baitul maal used under today's Islamic government will be in a fair manner as in the time of Ameerul Momineen (عليه السلام). Can you guarantee justice would be given to innocent or the leader of such government use his authority under garb of religion. Since you have cited Iran as an example for Islamic government, Iran has one of the highest interest rates given by their bank.

Defending yourself is necessary. Amr bil Ma'ruf and nahi anil munkar is necessary. But revolting against a country where you are living in peace is foolish.

Below is the list of only few famous personalities. There are lots of people converting to shi'ism everyday. Many are on Shiachat. https://uncoveredsunnism.wordpress.com/2020/04/07/sunni-shia-converts/ Edit: https://theshiiteoffensive.blogspot.com/2020/04/a-list-of-some-sunni-to-shia-converts.html?m=1

These scholars are as fallible as any other ruler. They can oppress and kill the same way. Only Imam (عليه السلام) can do justice. May our Imam (عجّل الله تعالى فرجه الشريف) reappear soon.

Anyone can rule. If a country elects a scholar then no one has any problem. Problem arises when you want an uprising to establish Islamic government. This action is in contrast to the actions of our Aimma (عليهم اسلام).

This is the best explanation by far.
