As it seems Muslims around the world from Keshmir to Lebanon have protested against this action ...
Nimr had long been regarded as the most vocal Shia leader in the eastern Saudi province of Qatif, willing to publicly criticise the ruling al-Saud family and call for elections. He was, however, careful to avoid calling for violence, analysts say.
The beginning of Islam as we know it is from the prophet Muhammad, am I right.
The fight started AFTER the prophet's death, and it was around succession ?
In his time there was no Sunni - Shia just Islam ... after his departure Muslim divided into 2 sects : Shia and Sunnis ... we've got our Figh from house hold of the prophet ( pbuh) and you got from 4 Sunni Imams :
1. Imam Ahmad Bin Muhammad Hanbal
2. Imam Abu Hanifa
3. Imam Malik
4. Imam Shafi‘i‘i
We follow the same Prophet, read the same Quran , believe in the same judgment day, angels , heaven and hell as you do ....
Yeap the beginning of Islam as we know it is from the prophet Muhammad that's why we follow his teachings the prophet he himself (pbuh) ordered us to follow 2 things :
The Holy Prophet (S) said: I am leaving behind me two very weighty things for you. So long as you will remain connected with them you will never go astray after my departure and they (the two things) are heavier than one another. One of them is the Book of Allah and it is a rope which hangs from the heavens to the earth and the other is my progeny, my Ahlul Bayt (a.s.). Doubtlessly they will never be separated from one another until they come to me at the side of the pond of Kauthar in Paradise.
But you didn't answer my Qs ..
Why do you follow those Imams and base a religion around that ?while they lived decades AFTER the prophet's death ?
Why don't you say Ya Allah instead of going to doctor? are you worshiping doctors and take them your God instead of Almighty God?
