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
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
To a Shia brother who calls me a Nasibi:
When both Umawis and Rafizis oppose you, then know you are upon truth.
Brother may Allah help you grow in ilm and hilm. I have abandoned sectarian labels long ago. You will always fail in proving sectarian labels on me. You don’t know that sectarian Deobandis consider me an undercover Shia because I follow the manhaj of Imam Nasai. But you do not know who are the real enemies of Imam Al-Mahdi. God bless you.
Her father was a liberal Shia. His name means the double edged sword of Ali the Commander of the Faithful. Ali fought a civil war against Mother of Believers called Jamal which shows that Shia faith is the death of political feminism. Ironically his father opposed a democratic Islamist leader who has the DNA of Commander of the faithful, her Shia faith ascribes to. So, her liberal theology is not internally consistent. I admire how she had the self respect to cover her head and how she disagreed with self hating Ayan Hirsi Ali whose country Somalia does not seem to have ecumenical thinkers like in Pakistan. Her symbolic head covering is sufficient for me to conclude that she did not agree with western sexual revolution although her liberal theology makes it nearly impossible to criticize it. I pray for empowerment of Muslim women based on liberation theology rather than anarchist and narcissistic feminism which seems to explain the highest divorce rate in the world in US. His marriage with a secular traditional male of average IQ may be a hint of the psychological fact that narcissistic women prefer weak marriage partners. I respect her more than western feminists but lesser than an American woman of faith Margaret Marcus who sensed the imminent sexual revolution with foresight and migrated to Pakistan.
The disciple said: When I am alone with Satan, I become unhappy but when I remember my love for Prophetic family, I become happy. The scholar said: Religion is all about love as mentioned in Quran 3:31.
أبو عبيدة الحذّاء : دَخَلتُ عَلى أبي جَعفَرٍ عليه السّلام ، فَقُلتُ : بِأَبي أنتَ واُمّي ، رُبَّما خَلا بِيَ الشَّيطانُ فَخَبُثَت نَفسي ، ثُمَّ ذَكَرتُ حُبّي إيّاكُم وَ انقِطاعي إلَيكُم فَطابَت نَفسي ؟ فَقالَ : يا زِيادُ ، وَيحَكَ ! و مَا الدّينُ إلَّا الحُبُّ !! ألا تَرى إلى قَولِ اللهِ تَعالى : إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ
A Prophetic descendant was a professed alcoholic. He once visited a student of knowledge for some help, but he did not allow him to enter his home, so he came back sadly. During journey to pilgrimage, a scholar among Prophetic descendants did not allow that student to enter his presence, so he wept. When he wept he was allowed to enter. He asked why he was refused although he loved the Prophetic family. He replied: Because you refused entry to my cousin. He wept again and stated: I only did this so that he repents from alcohol. The scholar replied: Respect them any way otherwise you will become a loser. When he came back, the same cousin came again. This time the student respected him a lot. The cousin was surprised. Then he told him the story of the scholar during pilgrimage. He felt guilty and repented. He came back to home and destroyed the bottles of alcohol, and started spending time in Masjid until death and then he was buried near a pious female Prophetic descendant.
This is an important lesson for physical Jews.
