Prophetic family and Sunni-Shia intrafaith
Love poetry of Ali bin Abi Talib for his wife
Post righteous kingdom and trinity/antinomianism of Ishmaelites
The bloodshed in Syria is in the name of hatred of first post righteous king named Ameer Mu’awiyah and the bloodshed in Yemen is in the name of love of this post righteous king making it the political trinity of Ishmaelites. Or like Paul who is loved by Gentiles and hated by pronomian Semites. Both appear to disagree with the idea of genetic primacy of righteous Semites and Ishmaelitic Prophetic descendants. This line of thinking makes it plausible that Jewish Einstein had a tendency towards Shia Islam. I am a semi-Shia pro-Zaydi Sunni like Nasai and Shawkani.
Shia non-neutrality between wise revolt and narcissistic anarchism
In Islamic history, a non-neutral person is called a Shia. But a non-neutral person can become a narcissistic anarchist if he lacks empathy and respect while changing the status quo. Some Sunnis can become narcissistic Uthmani Shia.
Silent treatment of unjust brothers
Ishmaelite Prophetic descendant Imam Sadiq peace be upon him said: An oppressed brother should say to the unjust brother:” I am the oppressor” and should not give him silent treatment. God is just and he will give back the oppressed person his right.
فليرجع المظلوم إلى صاحبه حتى يقول له : يا أخي !.. أنا الظالم حتى ينقطع الهجران فيما بينهما ، إنّ الله تبارك وتعالى حَكَمٌ عدل يأخذ للمظلوم من الظالم
Advice to an ignorant narcissistic sectarian Shia
Learn Arabic and grow in ilm and hilm. Sheikh Mufid narrates that Imam Sadiq(as) taught: man qallada fi deenihi faqad halak. Who does blind taqlid destroys his salvation. There is ilm outside Khomeini and Sistani.
Zayd bin Umar the son of two Caliphs was martyred
When Busr insulted Ali, Zayd reacts violently. Zayd was very handsome.

وقال جويرية بن أسماء كان بسر بن أرطأة عند معاوية فنال من علي وزيد بن عمر بن الخطاب حاضر وأمه أم كلثوم بنت علي فعلاه بالعصا وشجه فقال معاوية لزيد :
عمدت إلى شيخ من قريش وسيد أهل الشام فضربته ؟
وأقبل على بسر فقال تشتم عليا وهو جده وهو ابن الفاروق على رؤوس الناس أترى أن يصبر على ذلك ؟
فأرضاهما جميعا .

زيد بن عمر بن الخطاب ، القرشي العدوي ، وأمه أم كلثوم بنت فاطمة الزهراء
. قال عطاء الخراساني : توفي شابا ولم يعقب
. وقال أبو عمرو بن العلاء ، عن رجل من الأنصار ، عن أبيه قال : وفدنا مع زيد بن عمر إلى معاوية ، فأجلسه على السرير ، وهو يومئذ من أجمل الناس ، فأسمعه بسر بن أبي أرطأة كلمة ، فنزل إليه زيد فخنقه حتى صرعه ، وبرك على صدره
، وقال لمعاوية : إني لأعلم أن هذا عن رأيك وأنا ابن الخليفتين.
ثم خرج إلينا زيد وقد تشعث رأسه وعمامته ، ثم اعتذر إليه معاوية ، وأمر له بمائة ألف ، وأمر لكل واحد منا بأربعة آلاف ، ونحن عشرون رجلا . يقال أصابه حجر في خربة ليلا فمات .
Political theology of apolitical psychological resistance to spiritual democratic resistance
Houthis follow Zaydi political theology of armed resistance by Prophetic descendants against Muslim oppressors. But the loophole in the current movement is that they do not have a unifying moderate leader. Iran is based on a political theology of apolitical psychological resistance to Muslim oppressors but a Prophetic descendant Syed Khomeini brought Twelvers closer to Zaydi political theology. A Pakistani Prophetic descendant Syed Mawdudi taught a political theology of democratic resistance against Muslim oppressors, but lack of charismatic leaders of spiritual democratic resistance after Banna and Mawdudi makes young zealots succumb to seduction of armed resistance.
To 8 million starving Yemenis
We are children of Ramadan. Fasting to death can kill us but cannot destroy our will and faith in God of Abraham. God bless Yemeni theologian Shawkani who taught his Zaydi nation not to bow to oppressors.
An ex Ismaili criticizes Irish convert to Islam
Ireland has a violent history like Ismailis. Which creates a profound sense of self hatred. I hope she follows a middle path between traditional Islam and Sola Scriptura Islam to avoid the errors of Catholics and Ismailis. Both have the concept of successive unifying leaders in common, while for Ismailis, unlike Gentiles, leader must have a chosen DNA. As far as infallibility of the leader is concerned, it creates problems. In Sunni Islam, the Caliph Umar considered himself fallible and valued moral and Scriptural feedback as a gift worthy of prayer for the one who offers it.

As a post Indo-European orthodox Muslim from Pakistan, we share similar spiritual and cultural dilemmas. The local saints of traditional culture form the bridge between Semitic roots of faith and tradition and local audience and Quran 14:4 addresses this and this is similar to Catholic approach which tends to take antinomian forms leading politically to sufi liberal alliance empowering tyrant secularism due to high tradition to scripture ratio. While Sola Scriptura approach make faith international and universal but also susceptible to anti-ecumenical political abuses like Protestant/Talmudic Zionism, Umayyad Salafism and Ghulat Twelverism.
The Twelverism in power right now belongs to pro-traditional Usuli Taqlidi school. While Zaydiism of Yemen is more pro Sola Scriptura currently without a modern nomian state.
