Peace
Im not arguing that some shia worship Ali, God be with him, and/or the Ahlul bayt, God be with them, however, I know that the Twelvers and Zaydis dont worship Ahlul Bayt, even their adhan and shahada is there is no god but (the) God.
Alawis treat Ali, God be with him, as divine, however they say that “We are Alawi Muslims. Our book is the Quran. Our prophet is Muhammad. The Ka`ba is our qibla, and our religion is Islam." Ali Sulayman al-Ahmad (syrian alawi muslim)
I cant say for sure they could be considered Muslims (Alawis at least), but Twelvers and Zaidis are muslims because for them, Ali, God be with him, is a righteous man, even, in terms of divinity less than the prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.
This also includes some Ismail sects.
as for others, i dont like to accuse them of being non believers because:
1. I'm not 100% sure (who can be), they could be just misguided, God knows best, its his judgment
2. Isn't it a sin to accuse those that call themselves Muslims to be believers or polytheists?
Anyway, God knows best, however, it think that you should at least change the name from "shia" to "Islam (Shia).
As'salamu Alaikum dear brother,
Let me ask you this very simple question:
Do not the Shias, with ALL OF THEIR SECTS, celebrate Ashura in a bloody way? The answer is yes. Their pictures are all over the internet! And in every Muslim country these pests exist in. So the question here: Why? What right do they have to beat the day lights out of their bodies (which is strictly forbidden in the Holy Quran as I demonstrated above), and cut their children?
And again and again I ask: If they're indeed geniune, then how come they never once came out and denounced these practices and their books that call for these evil and blasphemous and idol-worshiping practices? Aren't they liars playing taqiyyah on us? I hope that you know that a shia is 100% permitted to lie to anyone and everyone anytime they wish. It's in their book, and lying is a main pillar and foundation in their religion.
And what about the Holy Quran? In part 2 of the video, which is only available in Arabic on my website, I have their top scholars also say despicable things about our Holy Quran. You see to them, when the Mahdi returns, he will bring with him the True Quran, which is called Mushaf Fatimah. It was named as such, because they believe that the Angel Gabriel came down to Fatimah after her father (Prophet Muhammad) died and dicated to her and to Ali the REAL QURAN. I've see several debates on Youtube akhi regarding this subject. They don't believe that the Quran that we Sunnis have as the 100% perfect Word of Allah Almighty.
By the way, most of the Arab Shias declare themselves to be twelvers. So even the sects that you refer to are mixed up among them. And their theological views are what I mentioend earlier:
1- They come for pilgrimage to the grave of Hussein crawling on the floor and bowing down to him in worship.
2- They beat themselves and their children with bloody beatings for Hussein and what happened at Karbala 1,400 years ago.
3- They call unto Ali and the rest of Ahlul Bayt for:
(a)- Help.
(b)- Guidance.
(c)- Protection.
(d)- Mercy.
4- IT IS VERY COMMON to see their names such as "AbdulFatimah", "AbdulZahra", etc... They clearly elate these creations on the same level as Allah Almighty. It's like me calling you brother
Zulfiqar Subhanahu Wa Taaala.
5- They call Ali Amir Al-Kawn (The Ruler and Lord of the Universe).
These are the mainstream shias in Arabia and in Iran. This is what their top scholars who graduated from Qum and Najaf say akhi. It doesn't get higher than that in authority akhi. These are their top and best.
This is like graduating from the Vatican to the Roman Catholics. It doesn't get any higher than this.
I hope this helps, insha'Allah.
Take care,
Osama Abdallah
