Assalamu Alaikum bro/sis,

I think you need to rethink this question: ‘As a female, have you ever had a “Shaykhy” crush?’

as it’s not a good question and not something that is relevant to the muslim ummah

You both know ur wrong right? We are NOT Sunni and Shia we are MUSLIMS that serve Allah swt and follow the message of the prophet muhammed pbuh. This sunni and Shia thing is the most IGNORANT and DISGRACEFUL thing the ummah ever did. I pray to god, that the person who started it is punished worse than iblis. First of all Sunni's arnt better than everyone. Second, the minute Shia's stop critisizing ahl al bayt including Aisha ra and Abu bakr ra. When they stop accusing the man the prophet loved of MURDER and stop tarnishing the memory of Ali ra by giving him god-like tributes like he knows the future or even he makes no mistakes. Seriously? Ughhhh god I hate Shias and I hate Sunnis and Sufis nd everyother sect there is. YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT!!! Allah doesn't care about u!!!! U ARE ATTENTION SEEKING SLOTHS!! Who are just looking for an excuse to argue and fight!!! Why can't u just stop vein preoccupied by STUPID things and Trying to improve YOUR religon and I can't wait till the day of judgement where Allah holds you all accountable for being just STUPID so do all o us a favour nd jst shut the he'll up or either die :) here is a brain teaser: why don't Muslim reverts/converts ever claim to be either Sunni or Shia???

I agree with you but that would be a very small percent, so we were looking at big pieces here.

One of the categories was "Opposite gender". What about same gender? You're forgetting that gay Muslims also struggle with their sexual desires.

I'm a Saudi who has kept an eye on this site for such a long time, but I felt I had to de-lurk here. Just to clarify, Im a Sunni from Jeddah, originally from Najd. I can honestly say that the Baharna Shia (from Alhasa, Qatif, and Bahrien proper) suffer a systemic process of discrimnation that is unparalled to anything metted out to our Sunni brothers in Iran. My blood freezes whenever I think of the government's response to the Ba'qih incident in 2009. They only "released" people two days ago, including the Cleric Tawfiq Al-Amir, as a means of placating public anger in the eastern provinces. Funny, since Mr. Al-Amir was arrested primarily for speaking out against a Takfiri fatwa. Astagferullah. There are many doctrinal issues I dont agree with Shia on, but seriously, the treatment they have received in both Bahrien and Saudi is beyond atrocious. They are 70% of the population in Bahrien, and are the original inhabitants (Ishmaeli and later Twelver communities have been there since the 8th century!) yet they continue to be treated as second class citizens. The Sunnis have largely come in as conquerers - the Al-Khalifi actually had the title of Al-Fatihun (to the conquest of a non-Muslim territory) attached to their royal titles and hadlargely expelled Shia from the western parts of the island by the turn of the 19th century. Ya Akhi, after all this, and given the ongoing marginalization of the community, the Shias have always displayed their loyalty for Bahrien (even doctrinally they are seperated from Iran along Akbari-Usuli lines). They want freedom in their own country - and they are entitled to it. The status quo as it stands is a <em>Zulm</em>. We should not perpetuate existing biases for the sake of maintaing the hold of an affluent Shia(Ajam) -Sunni class who live off the backs of the people of the country. Ina lillahi wa ina ilayhi ra'jiun. Assalamu Alekum
