#shia muslim

[marylily-my-beloved]

No I shouldn't be fucking scared that the ISIS killed *six people in mosque in my very peaceful and mostly safe country during ashura because nobody cares that I'm a shia muslim. I should go die bc I'm a shia muslim

if you dont mind me asking, what sect of islam did you join? I assume sunni, but you could be shia or some other variant

nonsectarian and Rather eclectic but basically a mixture of Shia and Quranist, I often find myself Agreeing with the Zaydis an oddball group of Shias

Also Sufism (Islamic Mysticism) anyway I tend to have an Eclectic mixture of Highly Heterodox Beliefs scattered in with all sorts of other things

The "by Allah you people are dogs" meme

Listen y'all I'm not a big fan of cancel culture, nor do I believe in the existence of pure "unproblematic" media. But this meme has been bothering me because people seem to quote it without knowing the context. So imma give the some context.

PSA!!** I am not Muslim, I just happen to know a bit more than the average joe about Islam. If someone more knowledgeable pipes in and corrects me, or has something to add, by all means.

So, the man in the cooking video who made this comment is a Sunni Muslim, referring to the Shia Muslims who keep calling in, heckling him as he's cooking. Not a big deal, if they're heckling him then they deserve that comment. Right?

...But right after, he says, and I quote "If there is a real Islamic regime (in Egypt), you people (Shiite Muslims) will not exist anymore. Allah willing."

Then goes on to say; "I lived in Iraq for four and a half years, and these were the best days of my life. Allah's mercy upon Saddam Hussein. He wouldn't let you utter a single word."

...

Context. There is a violent history between Sunni and Shia Muslims. Specifically, the persecution of the Shia minority (~10% of Muslims), by the Sunni majority. And what this Egyptian man is referring to is the period in Iraq during the 1990's when the then prime minister Saddam Hussein quelled and massacred a Shia rebel group. Since then, many, many Shia populated villages in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East have been targeted.

Yikes!

Now I'm not saying stop using that meme. Do what you will, it's the internet. But maybe be aware of the context behind those memes. Because since that memes was popularised, the views on clips of this meme have skyrocketed. With comments ranging from "haha he shut down those trolls" to "this man has the right idea".

Just... I'd rather people know the whole story than their take away being "haha funny". Because make no mistake (and I think most Muslims would agree with me), this man's opinions are downright vile and from my understanding, completely against the teachings of the Qur'an and Allah.

#WhoIsHe❓✍️ Utopia

[lesorus]

screw the islamic republic of iran. how it has marginalized it's own people, genocided them, and pushed them to the edge. screw the way it has spread it's ideology among the rest of the middle east, radicalizing every smallest shia community for food scraps and militarized them for their own benefit, alienating them from their own cultures and countries. screw the enforced hijab. the islamic police. sharia law and the clergy. may every single organization they built burn to the fucking ground, from hezbollah to their own government. these organizations thrive on the marginalization and brainwashing of women and could not exist without it. and screw the women that support the oppression, murder of their sisters and daughters and thrive from it. nothing makes me angrier. and nothing makes me more proud than the iranian women standing in protest.

Can you make sense of Al-Islam and the Apocrypha legends of Allah? When any society, organization, or association, whether secret or public, punishes those

“Abu ’Abd Allah (a.s), once said to me, ‘You must not buy anyone from al-Sudan, but if you must buy, then buy from al-Nawbah; they are of those about whom Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “Of those who have said, ‘We are helpers’, We took a covenant from them; then they forgot the share of what they were reminded.” (5:14) However, they will remember that share and they, a group of them, will come out with the rise of al-Qa’im with divine authority from us. You must not marry anyone of the Kurds; they are a species of Jinn from which the cover is removed.’”
