On a lighter note I have a great recipe for a Persian Love Cake.
Brother,
This is a forum. It can be very informative. What is so sad is the fact that you have made poor deductions. In the vast world of Islam, by the way Islam is not limited to east or west; In the Quran Allah swt has told us that Islam is the deen for all ages and peoples; As He, swt, is the Creator, I go with that!!!; however, Islam is the faith of those with reasoning abilities. There is so much knowledge on reasoning. It is the gift given to mankind.
To disagree with a person is OK. But, to draw conclusions as you have is poor thinking. Do not do that. It reduces respect.
Your points are weakened by you being emotional. If you are not, I apologize , but your words are weak.
You have me very confused. You conflate democracy with Shias and the West. I have very little knowledge on the Shias. Thus, I can not speak about Shias and Democracy. Some of the most prominent thinkers in Islam are Westerns. I am amazed by the scholars of the "West". These scholars have walked away from the "Dream" to practice their deen. Given up big time things. ( I admire reverts so much).
Lastly, you have reduced yourself to redundancy. That is boring.
The Prophet, swas, always used the best of manners. That is the way of our deen.
