It is offensive that is why I call it, other than the fact the Shiaism follow a pattern of cult , inventing stuff , fundamental Ideology of Shiasm is based on Abusing others ( Sahabah and Wives of Prophet ) Elevating Ali to a level of Allah or even higher than Prophet(s) mainly Mosa and Esa and Ibrahim A.S to all , beating yourself for something that you were not even present , making idol of things and than consider it to be holy , getting a horse and consider that holy , changing the Kalima , Putting rock from Karbala for praying , misinterpretation Hadeeth and Quran to prove the point, cooking up fake stories against Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman RA to all, literally abusing them in majalis and people going Bonkers over it like Wah Wah Wah , Fake crying , etc honestly I can go on and on. So I am sorry to say but if you are a Shia you are not following the Islam of Muhammad Pbuh but a cult that Started by a Yahoodi name Saba ( forget his full name ) and later transformed it by the Ayatullah's of Iran . And don't think I am just saying this for your Shiaism, I say the same thing about Ahmadi , Agha Khani , 12 twelves , those Muslims who justify Gayism , Homosexuality , Gay imams , ISIS , AQ , TTP and those who misinterpret Islam to me all of them are Cults not Islam .
