Again who cares. You are obviously a Muslim
lol I was wondering when you were going to try to claim that I am a secret Muslim again. You literally JUST said that since I was not a Muslim then my opinion didn't matter a page or two back, but since you think I am a Muslim now then you must think that my opinion not only matters, but is more applicable than yours (being a non-Muslim yourself).
You don't seem very consistent. For the record, I'm not a Muslim, nor have I ever been, nor has anyone in my family. The fact that you need to justify your lack of knowledge of Islamic fundamentals by attempting to characterize me as some sort of subversive figure is pretty telling and makes you look insecure.
which has absolutely nothing to do with reality or history, or facts on the ground.
I can source, through the use of western scholarly and military intelligence works everything related to Islam that I have stated in this thread, which is why I am more than happy to have a formal sourced discussion with you on any of these issues at your leisure. I'd also be happy to provide specific sources here upon request for specific statements as well.
Until the arrival of KHOMEINI guys like Sistani were just respected scholars and basically nobodies. Khomeini (may he burn in hell for enternity) made Islamic Shiism into a powerful expansionist terrorist ideology. Which brought about the rise of radical Sunni groups like Al Queda and others as a counter balance. He is revered and emulated by many hardliners and you will see picture like a mythical figure all over Shia based organizations, including terrorist ones like Hezbollah. So for you to dismiss who he was and his knowledge of Islam is ludicrous at best.
I haven't dismissed him as an important modern Islamist figure at all, I have merely disagreed with your specific characterization of him and your overemphasis of his theological reach and purity in the light of traditional Shia belief structures.
I'm not sure how you can be so sure of yourself when it must be obvious to you how little you know in the grand scheme of things. You've already admitted that you are no expert.
Yes I am sure that nobody is as important as Khomeni, his legacy, and his ideology in shiite Islam today. The current supreme leader in Iran is just maintaning Khomeinis ideology and interpretation of Islam, and continuing the imperialistic terroristic ambitions that Khomeini had. You don't dismiss him as a important figure but you dismiss him as a religious figure and his theological reach. However, all the important Shia Islamist movements today are headquartered out of Iran and based on Khomeinis ideology and game plan of world conquest. Yet Osomir says no go. Ha ha ha you are hilarious.
You also don't seem to be aware of the fact here that most Shias are not Islamists. Once again: basics.
Ya don't say! I bet you're about to say that some Shias are in fact SECULAR non practicing Muslims. Wow, you're just full of factoids today!
No, the reality of Shiism is that it has traditionally be a politically quietest movement; which made Khomeini's brand of political Shiism a relatively new theological concept and practice and limited his theological appeal outside of Iran and among traditionalists (That and his Spanish Sufi leanings). Once again: basics.
politically quiet?
They might be the minority but they are not quiet and never have been.
