Muslim Converts

Share your personal journey of faith, skepticism, or atheism, why you believe in God or trust in science instead. This is a place for SUPPORT and AGREEMENT only, not a place to tell someone their experience and feelings are wrong, or why we disagree with them.

I think it's pretty safe to say that most religious divisions are "political", no matter which religion we're speaking of - political in that they are usually about power plays and the right to be the person or group directing others in the way they think they should go.

I really do not know much about them to be honest, just that they are one of the Shia. Here is a link to wikipedia containing an article about them:

There is a web discussion board called ShiaChat you could register on and ask questions if you like.
