Duno but doubt it is haram, but I can tell you it tastes surprisingly pleasant, kinda earthy.

Sorry if I misunderstood, but can you clarify or expand on this? When you say "he" are you referring to Ayatullah Sistani?

Amal which predates Hezb is also represented in parliament. They are more associated with siyasah than Hezb if anything, the latter primarily being a social movement above all else.

You may mean well but you are sugar-coating and that does not do him or anyone favours. Being a Quranist is not a solution, secondly falsely claiming the Prophet "forbade slavery" (pretty sure you ironically will need to rely on ahadith to even try to make this claim) is disingenuous. And FYI the Qur'an referring to those whom our right hands posess is widely understood to refer to slaves. OP should ideally seek help from a learned person in his community. If not, hopefully someone here can address these points individually.

We all know which demographic this is aimed at.

Zainab, although figuratively means flower of paradise, literally it is Adornment of the Father (Zain + Ab). Zain al-Abideen - Adornment of the Worshippers. Sakura - Cherry Blossom in Japanese Carlos - Spanish/Portuguese version of Charles, means "free man". Sounds so gangsta though. Awesome name.

Yes, I was pleasantly surprised to know the 12 Imams names are displayed in the Prophet's mosque in Madinah from Ottoman times, and moreso is still there (for now) despite Wahabbi rule.

Was cool though how it mentioned la fata ila Ali la saif ila Zulfiqar in the first episode. A later episode has Ertugrul explaining to his eldest son the significance of the double tipped blade of Zulfuqar, one for Justice the other for Knowledge. Also one episode references Imam Hussain's as stand against oppression and Karbala.

One of mine, Smokey was a bit uncivil, he was a lost cat and found his way to mine. He was aggressive and distrustful at first, but over time he is your typical housecat now and very affectionate.
