    What does a shia mosque look like inside and outside in comparison with a sunni one?

    Salam. Could you brothers just discuss things in related threads and not derail them? Edit. Sorry, I was too quick to judge and I thought you are still arguing, then I saw this is an 8 year old thread which I believe is not like you guys now. :) And salam jerzybg. :) Though you may not be...

    Who is this guy?

    Who is this guy?

    Salam. I watched a man (I don't know who he is) make fun of Erdogan, the president of Turkey, mainly because of the palace he made, which in Turkish is, "Ak Saray" (The White Palace) and which I think is "The White House" (Cancer) of the Middle East. And the video is not surprising to me...

    Iran to whip dog owners

    Wa alaikum salam. Sorry for the delay. The differences are on the continuation of Imamah/Leadership after Imam Jafar Sadiq.

    Shi'a-Sunni war: which side would America take?

    There is no sunni-shia war. Yet, that is the expectation of Islam haters. Check North African countries (Tunusia, Libya, etc.) for example, and you will see that there are no shia Muslims there but there has been fights among the nations. And the USA takes the side of subserviant...

    Islamic Iran is a Sharia country. And since most of the Iranian citizens are Jafari Shia Muslims, the regional laws are accordingly (i.e. as per twelver jafari-shia Islam). And there is no punishment on having dogs in shia Islam. And it is suggested that people have them (but not inside the...

    Iran to whip dog owners

    "The news" is not from an Iranian source, thus not to be taken seriously. As for the dogs in Islam, some of sunni and shia madhabs (jurisprudential sects) agree that they are considered impure. However, you are allowed to have them especially for reasons such as protection, hunting, etc. Taking...

    Welcome To The New Religious Forums

    XenForo is the new favourite forum template I guess. I used to have a VBulletin forum in the old days. But, now that I see xenforo, I can say, if it had been there that time, I would probably have picked xenforo also. And I hope, as you promised, can fix the problems in the update, such as...
