(salam) I recently joined a website Ummah.com. But I was sad to see that it was just like Sunni Forum. The same hatred. The same violence. The same offensive attitude towards Shia Muslims. When somebody asked me questions about temporary marriage and I answered him, people began to ask dirty questions. I was very grieved. Is this what Islam teach us? Islam teaches us to keep ourselves in our limits and don't cross moral values. Alas! People claim to be believers but act like disbelievers. Well, I'm there with the name Muslim Modesty.

This is copied from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prophets_in_Islam "Muhammad is important for sealing prophecy in Muslim belief and reinforcing the same faith that started with Adam. Muslims don't view Muhammad as the beginner of a new religion, but the Quran states that Muhammad simply preached the same religion as Adem (Adam), Ibrahim (Abraham), Nuh (Noah), Musa (Moses), Isa (Jesus) and all the other prophets, and continued the holy religion. Sunni Muslims follow Muhammad by following his sayings, what he had told them what to do and not to do, and doing all the things that he did. Shia Muslims follow only few of Muhammad's sayings, but are focused on his cousin and son-in-law, Ali who only promoted Muhammad's teachings. Whereas Sunnis focus on the practical application of Muhammad's Sunnah, as recorded in Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim and other books, Shias believe that the leadership of Ali should be emphasized. Shias believe that Ali is the successor of Muhammad and that Ali is the first of The Twelve Imams. Shias also believe that Muhammad al-Mahdi is the last Imam and is currently alive and is hiding in the Major Occultation, and that Mahdi will return near al-Qiyamah along with Jesus to rid the world of its evil." I feel this was written by a Sunni who doesn't like Shia somehow! It needs to be corrected. As Shia, we only follow the hadith we believe to be true; to suggest we don't follow or listen to Nabi Muhammad aleyhissalaat wassalaam is insulting! We don't believe all of Sahih Bukhari and Muslim for reasons such as evidence some is untrue, not because we don't follow an-Nabi! It's just making them out to be correct and we just reject it. It's written from the typical ignorant viewpoint, verging on a lie, that Imam Ali (as) is above even al nabi! Astaghfir'Allah. We can't have unfair untruths in something unbiased and accessible as factual knowledge. Can this be changed somehow?
