Whats with the Stereotypes on Shias?

[Qasim Amin]

Ok so I don't understand why there are so many ridiculous stereotypes against Shias. Some of these ridiculous stereotypes and allegations are like Shias putting blood in their food and spitting in water. And for some reason Many Deobandis and Wahabis in my area say that Shias don't do salah and that they eat pork. (Nauzbillah). Where the hell do these allegations come from in the first place? Another allegation which is obviously false is that Shia Muslims exploit Mutah for intercourse only. When will these lies ever end?

lol, yeah.

People mostly lie but one or two things are either true or done by a certain amount of people.

Either way though, I don't know why people give two about what or what you don't do as a community. Like Abu Britaniyah can really do anything to change the world by whining about turbahs.

Salam brother all these stereotypes are obviously nonsense ,but about Salah it’s true not lot of our Shi’a brothers take Salah seriously infact they don’t take any wajibat seriously ,goto to any of our mosque imambargah and just see how many brothers have beard just only beard it’s sad ,u will see a lot of brothers  wearing Kara/kalawa in their hands and other Hindu Sikh stuff but when it comes to namaz having beard and doing stuff which is related to our Islam    Is wajib mustehab and Sunnat you will find very few who follow properly ,I just pray Allah give hidaya to all brothers and sisters and myself we are going away from real Islam that our Imams(عليه السلام) taught us ,Salam

Even our infallible Imams (عليه السلام). were blamed by general people. Remember the repentant shami old man, who at first cursed Imam Zainul Abedin (عليه السلام). due to his ignorance? People of that time was made to believe that Ahlul Bayt (عليه السلام). were the enemies of God. These practices of those morally corrupted scholars have not changed much.

(Kind of relevant)

Some common questions I've been asked:

"Why do you think that Imam Ali (عليه السلام) is above Prophet Muhammad (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)? 

"Why do you [the Shia] hit yourself?" 

"Why do you [the Shia] always cry?"

"Why do you hate Abu Bakr?" 

"Why do you curse Aisha?"

"Why do you worship Imam Ali (عليه السلام)?" 

"Why do you commit shirk by visiting shrines [of the Imams]?

"Why do you allow prostitution?"

"Why don't you pray properly?"

Etc....

This morning I was asked "do you like bricks" referring to the turbah

Tell them you do push ups on bricks so bricks are your thing

Our Kuwaiti friend over in London is one of the reasons
Did Sunnis hate us before he rose to prominence? Yes. As much as after he became famous? No

[ShiaChat Mod]

One stereotype of Shias are that they’re friendly and smile a lot.

I'm not one to defend him as I wholly disagree with his approach, but I must also point out that the changing point where the Shia became the 'enemies' was not because of him, he certainly plays a part but the changing point in the Sunni world was the events of Syria.

The Fitnah that started in Syria in 2011 as part of the 'Arab spring' 

[Ali Abbas Rizvi]

one that I heard is we pray 3 times a day

[3wliya_maryam]

These were the questions I'd get asked in highschool:

"Do you guys believe that God made a mistake by sending the revelation to Prophet Muhammaed (sawas) and not Ali (عليه السلام)?

"Do you guys hate Ali and Fatima?"

"Did Shias kill Ali, and thats why they hit themselves with rocks?"

"Do y'all have a different Qur'an?"

and so much more

They say that because we combine our prayers. Altho we pray at three different periods and not five, technically we still pray 5 times a day

how can you exploit something for what it was created? lol.

you mean exploit naive young women.

anyway, last I checked these same people, particularly the affluent/royal family members, exploit permanent marriage just to sleep with the woman then divorce her the day after - literally, and what's worse is that many women go into these marriages knowingly for the $200,000 mahr.
