Know Your Muslim: Sunni vs Shia



There are many sects and sub-sects within the cult of Islam. The two biggest ones and Sunnis and the Shiites. Let's take a look at the loony Sunnis vs the shitty Shiites

1. Which Muslim sect is larger demographically?

Roughly 87 percent of the world's approximately 1.6 billion Muslims are Sunni. The remaining 13 percent are Shiite.

2. Which sect believes that Muhammad explicitly named Ali ibn Abi Talib, his cousin and son-in-law, as his successor?


Shias regard Ali as the first Imam after the prophet and therefore his rightful successor, while Sunnis recognize him as the last of the first four caliphs (known collectively as the Rashidun). They believe that Muhammad made no official appointment of a successor. This disagreement split the Muslim community into the Shia and Sunni branches.

3. Which sect is more hierarchical in structure?

Almost all religious Shiites follow an Ayatollah, a senior Islamic scholar, who issues edicts on how the laity should incorporate Islamic doctrine into everyday life. Sunni Islam is far less formal and centralized, and is "flatter" in its organization.

4. Which sect observes the holy month of Ramadan?


Both sects observe Ramadan, the ninth month of Islam's calendar. Ramadan is observed through fasting and prayer, in order to promote self-sacrifice and spirituality among the faithful.

5. Which sect observes Ashura as a holy day of mourning that can include displays of self-flagellation?


While Ashura is a minor day of fasting for some Sunnis, for Shiites it marks the martyrdom of Muhammad's grandson, Hussain ibn Ali, whose death was a key event in the Shiite movement's founding. Although Shiite scholars are divided on the practice, many Shiites beat or cut themselves to mourn Hussain's death.

6. Which sect recognizes Mecca as a holy city?


Though located in predominately Sunni Saudi Arabia, both Shiites and Sunnis recognize it as Islam's holiest city. It is believed to be the birthplace of Muhammad, and is the destination of the Hajj pilgrimage.

7. Saddam Hussein, who oppressed Iraq's majority sect, was himself a member of which sect?

Hussein was a Sunni. Despite being only 20 percent of the population of Iraq, Sunnis controlled the government and oppressed Iraq's Shiite majority until Hussein's regime was overthrown during the US invasion in 2003.

8. Osama bin Laden was an adherent of which sect?

Bin Laden was a Sunni, as is his terrorist organization, Al Qaeda. While bin Laden was militantly anti-West, he was equally anti-Shiite, calling Shiites "heretics" and "enemies of Islam."

9. Saudi Arabia is the most powerful country of which sect?

Saudi Arabia is home to the two holiest cities in Islam, Mecca and Medina. Both Sunnis and Shiites consider it a religious duty to make a pilgrimage, or hajj, to Mecca at least once in their lives.

10. Which branch of Islam did Syria's Alawites come from?

Alawites split from Shiite Islam more than 1,000 years ago, and have developed beliefs sharply at odds with mainstream Sunni and Shiite teachings. Among them is an expanded roster of prophets that includes Greek philosophers and a belief that only children whose parents are both Alawites can join the faith, often leading to intense disdain of the “other.”

11. The title Sayyid is used by members of which sect?

The title of Sayyid is used by both Shiite and Sunni males who are direct descendants of the prophet Muhammad, through his daughter Fatimah.

12. The name for which sect is believed to come from an Arabic term that refers to the sayings and actions of Muhammad?

Sunni is a broad term derived from the Arabic word sunnah, meaning "habit", "custom", and "tradition".

13. The Islamist militant group Hezbollah adheres to which branch of Islam?

The Lebanon-based organization has close ties with Shiite Iran. Al Qaeda, Hamas, and the Taliban are all Sunni.

14. Which sect considers members of the other to be apostates?

Most mainstream clerics recognize adherents of the other side as “legitimate” Muslims. But more-radical leaders denounce them as apostates.

15. What is the majority sect in the most populous Muslim country?

The most populous Muslim country is Indonesia, with more than 200 million Muslims. Shiites make up only a tiny minority.

16. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad is most closely associated with which sect?

Assad is a member of the Alawite sect, which broke off from Shiite Islam a millennium ago. Assad and his Alawite regime retain close ties with other Shiite powers in the region, like Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah.

17. The name for which sect comes from the Arabic word for partisans?


Those who favored Muhammad’s son-in-law Ali became known as Shiat-Ali (partisans of Ali). They became known as Shia or Shiites.

19. Which sect is ISIS Sunni or Shia?

ISIS believes that the Shias are apostates and must die in order to forge a pure form of Islam.


20. What Muslims In America really think.

51% of US Muslims Want Sharia Law – 25% Okay With Violence Against Infidels

Dr Gerald Bear: The Big Fat Heretic Opines on Abrahamic Terrorism

Embedded image permalink

Syed Farook the San Bernardino shooter was a devout Muslim and Robert Dear the Planned Parenthood shooter was a devout Christian. Believing in God does not automatically make one insane and or evil but believing in an evil god and devoutly following a depraved and deadly faith does make one insane. Crazy people should not have guns.

While mulling over the two latest terrorist attacks in the US it suddenly dawned on me that the term Islamic terrorist is not entirely accurate. Christians have also committed acts of terror against non Christians. Hitler's holocaust was perpetrated by Christians as was slavery in the Americas. 

Dr Gerald Bear aka The Big Fat Heretic has long been a consultant to Bigger Fatter Politics. Dr Bear is one of these rare people who understands the gestalt of a situations. Putting it more colloquially, Dr Bear (a title I bestowed on him) better than anyone, sees the forest for the trees. 

The following is an email discussion between me Fat Bastardo and Dr Bear, The BIG Fat Heretic 

Good morning Fat Bastardo:

I shall respond in bold purple text.

On Wednesday, December 2, 2015 8:31 PM, Fat Bastardo  wrote:


As usual your keen erudition got me thinking. Muslims, Christian and to a lesser extent Jews are terrorists. They all have one thing in common and that is the God of Abraham. Do you think that instead of calling Christian terrorism Christian terrorism and Islamic terrorism Islamic terrorism that perhaps we should call it Abrahamic terrorism?


YES!!! Most definitely!

First came Judaism, when Abraham was commanded by God to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on a crudely built alter, a pile of wood. He laid his son on the alter, and raise a big knife to cut his son's throat, and just as he was about to do it, God told him to stop! It was a test to see if Abraham was truly obedient to God.

So, according to the BUY-BULL, Abraham pasted the test. But I would call it an EPIC FAIL!!!

Oh! But for poor Isaac, imagine what a traumatic event that must have been for him! Judging by Isaac's behavior over the years afterward, he must have suffered from some kind of Post Dramatic Stress Disorder, or PTSD, as it is call now. 

Isaac was obviously senile in his old age.

Second came Christianity, thousands of year later.

And third came Islam some centuries later.

So, all three religions are called the Abrahamic Religions.


Give this some thought. I think that we should call it Abrahamic terrorism and if it is done by a Christian we should call it Christian inspired Abrahamic terrorism and Islamic inspired Abrahamic terrorism.


Yes, I think that best describes the kinds of terrorism we have to deal with.

We don't hear much about Jewish terrorists though. Jews have often been the victims of Christian and Muslim terrorists.


What about calling them all Abrahamists?


Again, yes! I will go along with that! We're both on the same page. 



I published the on Planned Parenthood shooter Robert Dear.  His inspiration was the fact that he was born again and that he was going to heaven no matter what he did. 

Fat Bastardo
------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah! In the game of Religious, or Christian Monopoly, Robert Dear believes that because he is a Christian, that it automatically gives him his GET OUT OF HELL FREE card!

Ted Bundy, a Republican, also believed that, when he repented before his execution!

OK, since I've become agnostic, I don't know if there is an after-life or not. But, I don't
believe that there is going to be a judgement day. As I've said before, Jesus ain't coming again unless he's jacking off!!!



But, let's play a little game, and let us assume that there is a coming judgement day, whenthe Jeezer is sitting on his great white throne (sounds like a toilet to me!) and the wheat is separated from the chaff, or the sheep are separated from the goats, to use a Biblical euphemism, and the Jeezer says to those at his right hand "Enter thou into the glory of the lord" and he says to those at his left hand "Depart thou cursed into the fires of Hell and everlasting torment"!


Well . . . . . I don't think judgement day is going to go quite as well as the Jeezer had planned. NO! I don't think it's going to pan out very well for him, at all.

During judgement day, millions and billions of people will be there. All the great scientists will be there. Galileo will be there. Giordano Bruno, the astronomer who was burned at the stake in 1600 will be there.

Many many many people believed that Jesus died for our sins. 

WRONG! Millions and billions of innocent people died for the sins of Jesus Fucking Christ!

All those millions and millions of innocent victims will charge toward the great white throne and pull him down off of his throne, and drag him down along the ground, and beat up on him, kick him in the ribs, and smash his testicles, and just beat him to a bloody pulp, and kick his ass,  and all those people will say to Jesus . . . . .

DEPART FROM ALL OF US THOU CURSED AND GO STRAIGHT TO FUCKING HELL!!!

Then Hell will open up. The gates of Hell will open wide, and Hell will released all of 
the damned and they will grab Jesus by the balls, and throw him down into the pit
and shut him up in it forever!!!


Then, we will take over Heaven, and the Devil will pass out cigars, and serve us all
ice cold beers. You see . . . in all the past religions, the devils have generally been
more sympathetic toward us humans than the gods.

The gods were all narcissistic douche-bags!  The gods were all too willing to inflict
the most heinous punishments at the drop of a hat!

Our earthly criminal justice system reflects that attitude. It's because of American's
belief in Hell, that our criminal justice system has been inflicting greater and greater
penalties and punishment for lesser and lesser offenses.

Anyway  . . . . . I really don't believe in an eternal everlasting Hell or a Heaven. If there
is some kind of after-life, I would find it much easier to believe in reincarnation instead.


For example, Adolf Hitler, in his next life might come back as a morbidly obese black
Jewish lesbian! Nah! Strike that! Something like that would be too good for him!  
Whoever he is in his next life, somebody will make him, his or her personal bitch!

It's fun to imagine what the Republican candidates will come back as in their next lives!

Yeah! To me, reincarnation makes more sense than the Biblical Heaven and Hell.

And then, at the end of it all, we will all meet in the Restaurant at the end of the 
universe, as depicted in The Hitchhikers Guide to The Universe!

That will be really cool.

Anyway . . . . .

I need to log some sack time.

Later, Gator!

More Republican Depravity


As anyone who has not been living under a rock know Republican are a sick and depraved bunch. With few exceptions Republican voters are even bigger pieces of shit than Republican politicians. Of all the Republican presidential primary candidates the only one who probably isn't a scumbag is John Kasich. This crop of GOP presidential candidates is the most criminal depraved in history.

The biggest hater and the most uncouth one of the bunch is Donald Trump. I real life I doubt that Trump is the hateful and ignorant buffoon he's portraying himself to be on the campaign trail. Trump is a showman and he know his audience. He knows what Republicans really are...scum!

When Republican voters were polled the majority of them said Trump is the most electable. Worse than Republican politicians are Republican voters. Don't attack Trump, attack his base.




Abrahamic Terrorism



Christians and Muslims have one thing in common and that is their god. Christians call their god God, Jehovah or Yahweh and Muslims call their god Allah. Why not just call that god Allahovah? Both Christians and Muslims commit acts of terror the only differences are the weapons, tactics and strategies. Muslims explicitly want to dominate the world on the behest of their god and throughout history Christians have implicitly worked towards the same goal.

Whether you read it in the Koran or the Bible, the god portrayed therein is a capricious and vile character. I think we should lump Muslims and Christians together even though 95% if the worlds terror attack are committed by Muslims. Muslims are the pit bulls of theocracy where as Christians are the Rottweilers.

Mohammad was inspired by the Bible and the is why he plagiarized from it. A big thing in the Koran and Hadith is killing "Unbelievers". Mohammad merely ramped it up a bit.

Kill All Unbelievers: As Per The Bible And The Koran

"And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God..." (Deuteronomy 13: 5)

"If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, which is as thine own soul, entice thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou hast not known, thou, nor thy fathers;" (Deuteronomy 13: 6)

"Thou shalt not consent unto him, nor hearken unto him; neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him: But thou shalt surely kill him; thine hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people." (Deuteronomy 13:8-9)

"Thou shalt surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, with the edge of the sword." (Deuteronomy 13:15)

Comment

These severe laws commanded the members of the Hebrew religion to murder even their own children if they did not worship Yahweh (God).

These Bible words can justify, to a fanatical fundamentalist believer, the killing of friends or family simply because they may fail to change their beliefs.

Why anyone today would accept these words, much less allow them to exist in a sacred book goes against the nature of any tolerant and loving people?

Let's Take A Look At The Koran's Calls To Violence

Muslim (1:33) - the Messenger of Allah said: I have been commanded to fight against people till they testify that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah

Bukhari (52:220) - Allah's Apostle said... 'I have been made victorious with terror'

Bukhari (11:626) [Muhammad said:] "I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those, who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes."

Quran (5:33) - "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His messenger and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides or they should be imprisoned; this shall be as a disgrace for them in this world, and in the hereafter they shall have a grievous chastisement"

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"  No reasonable person would interpret this to mean a spiritual struggle.

Quran (8:15) - "O ye who believe! When ye meet those who disbelieve in battle, turn not your backs to them. (16)Whoso on that day turneth his back to them, unless maneuvering for battle or intent to join a company, he truly hath incurred wrath from Allah, and his habitation will be hell, a hapless journey's end."

I can use the exact same commentary used to describe the Bible.

Comment

These severe laws commanded the members of the Muslims religion to murder even their own children if they did not worship Allah (God).

These Koranic words can justify, to a fanatical fundamentalist believer, the killing of friends or family simply because they may fail to change their beliefs.

Planned Parenthood Shooter Robert Dear Is a Hard Core Christian


It came as no surprise to find out that Robert Dear is a hard core fundamentalist Christian conservative cocksucker. It seems that the more fundamentalist a Christian or a Muslim is the more evil they are. Criminal Ted Cruz said that Dear was a leftist transsexual but as we all know Ted Cruz is also a fundamentalist conservative Christian cocksucker and a lying sack of shit to boot.
Dear was once married to Pamela Ross, who described how they had a happy family for a while as Dear held a job as an art dealer. Ross ended up putting his early criminal history on record in 1997, when she accused Dear of domestic violence and various periods of violent anger. Ross said that even back then, Dear held conservative political and religious views, owned guns, condemned abortion, but she told the New York Times she did not think he had any particular obsession with these issues.
Anonther ex-wife of the man charged with killing three people at a Colorado Planned Parenthoodsaid that he vandalized an abortion clinic years earlier when he lived in South Carolina.
Barbara Mescher Micheau told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Robert Dear came home one day and told her that he put glue in the locks of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Charleston when they were married more than 20 years ago, but it could not have been one run by the organization. The organization did not have a clinic in the city then but another clinic offered abortions which some have mistakenly assumed was run by Planned Parenthood.
"I just remembered it because I haven't thought about him for a long time," said Micheau, whose last contact with Dear was more than seven years ago, when their son turned 18 and Dear no longer needed to come for visits.
Micheau, who lives in Moncks Corner, South Carolina, said Dear never talked much about Planned Parenthood although "obviously he was against abortion." She also recalled that Dear "was always plotting revenge against people he felt did him wrong and you know it didn't take much for him to feel like somebody did him wrong."

RELATED: The War On Christmas



In the affidavit she filed to divorce him in 1993, Micheau described Dear as angry and isolated.
Micheau said Dear had no friends, according to the document. He would listen to music on headphones for hours, ignoring her. He'd vanish for gambling trips to Las Vegas or Atlantic City and suddenly explode in anger at home, kicking her and pulling her hair.
"Rob's anger erupts into fury in a matter of seconds and is alarming," she wrote. "You have to constantly monitor his emotional state."
She added that he appeared devoutly religious.
"He claims to be a Christian and is extremely evangelistic, but he does not follow the Bible in his actions," Micheau wrote. "He says as long as he believes he will be saved, he can do whatever he pleases. He is obsessed with the world coming to an end."
Micheau told AP she wasn't surprised to hear that he was arrested in the shooting or that he been living in remote locations without water or electricity, saying he always had survivalist ideas.
"I was just devastated for the people he hurt and the people he killed and their children. As to whether he would do it or not, I wasn't surprised," she said.
———
This story has been corrected to change spelling of ex-wife's last name to Micheau and to say that there was no Planned Parenthood clinic in Charleston when the couple was married more than 20 years ago.
