/r9k/ is the dregs of society that can barely get out of bed in the morning to talk to people. What makes you think some kike's anti-communist book about magical mary sues who can do no wrong and are kept down by the ebil gubmint would appeal to people with absolutely no special qualities?

How ironic it is, that /pol/ and other retards will go out of their way to say that Jews want communism. They lose if communism was implemented, but retards don't see this. They think communism is the kike way of keeping the white man as a slave.
Fucking retards, communism is about giving equality to everyone.

The "Mohammed marrying a small girl" isn't in the Quran, it's in a text written by a cleric a fair bit later, those texts are called "hadiths" and which are legitimate and which aren't is subject to constant debate between Islamic scholars.
>>28940103
they learn arabic probably. I mean latin used to be the language of all ecclesiastic types in christendom so it's not strange to assume they keep it all in arabic

Actually the point of most Rand books is that some people are gommunist :DD because they've elevated mediocrity to a virtue. Those people are the "moochers". They invariably lose the things they've confiscated from the "producers" to "looters", or gangsters that take advantage of a political upheaval to grab power. Looters don't believe in gommunism, they just profit off of it. The valid takeaway from AS or TF isn't that mediocre people are all resentful bitter liars, it's that a system of equalizing redistribution always ends up enabling totalitarians and criminally minded people who gravitate towards positions controlling the redistribution of resources.

Lots of Iranians are Shiite because the Safavid empire in the 16th century converted most of the people living in modern day Iran. Persians around the world are often Shiite as a result. But sometimes you get Sunni Persians, especially those who aren't Iranian.
>>28940164
Yes, but the first Persian translation was before they converted to Shiism in the 1500's.
>The first translation of the Qur'an was performed by Salman the Persian, who translated Surah al-Fatihah into the Persian language during the early 7th century.[3] According to Islamic tradition contained in the hadith, Emperor Negus of Abyssinia and Byzantine Emperor Heraclius received letters from Muhammad containing verses from the Qur'an[citation needed]. However, during Muhammad's lifetime, no passage from the Qur'an was ever translated into these languages nor any other.[1]

theres a difference between being of jewish faith and being a corporate kike who only cares for his own well being.

this book is boring af. it started off slow and i was like ok hopefully it picks up but then at page 50 i wanted to stop reading it but forced myself for some reason. i got to around page 100 then said fuck it. this book literally ruined reading for me. I didnt read for fun for like 3 years because of this piece of shit.

>>28940253
Are they wrong? Just looking at scripture I mean
>>28940278
Yeah the basic history of the schism between Sunnism and Shiism is as follows:
>Mohammed dies around 632 AD after taking over Mecca
>The members of his tribe and local converts are the beginning of the Muslims and they're still more of a tribe than a religion
>Mohammed didn't name a successor
>His tribe's elders deliberate on who should come after
>Some people think it should be by bloodline or marriage, and want the husband of Mohammed's daughter Fatima, a guy named Ali, to lead
>But most of the people and elders think it should be based on merit, since it's going to be a big interethnic faith instead of a tribe one day
>Nobody gets their top choice so Abu Bakr, everyone's second choice, is made the first Caliph
Fast forward a few generations
>Islam has taken over most of Arabia and the Levant, headquarters of the first Umayyad caliphate which is basically a dynasty created by the third caliph, Othman
>After three other Caliphs, or religious leaders, Ali is made the fourth caliph, but he is assassinated
>His two sons Hossan and Huseyn lead a bunch of allies against the Umayyads at Karbala
>A bunch of the allies desert the brothers right before the big battle, and they lose it
>Huseyn is killed
>After this the people who believe the caliphs should be of Muhammed's bloodline, lay low for centuries, only really cropping up again in the 11th century.
tl:dr the difference is basically that Shiites believe leadership of the Islamic community should be dynastic/based on bloodline or marriage, and the Sunnis believe it should be based on merit. There are other more modern differences but that's the most important fundamental divide.

I see now, thank you, anon. does that mean the ayatollah can trace his lineage to mohammed?

Anxiety: A Condition of Modern Man
>>28940633
Supposedly? I'm less clear on modern Shiism, but what I think I understand is that the descendants of the prophet are called Sayyids and have certain symbols of rank, like they used to wear green turbans or sashes while other people wore gray. People who became significant holy men or leaders were Imams, and the Ayatollah was chosen from among the Imams. Don't quote me on this though desu
This desu familia, the only thing that makes me happy are my dreams.
All the normal fags can hear are sheeps bleating.
>>28940740
so is it that each of the imams up for election has a drop of mohammed's blood? otherwise from what you say it sounds an awful lot like how the pope is elected
>>28940900
yeah it's something to do with lineage making you qualified. The pope's election is much more like how the Sunni caliphs were chosen, not including the way the Sultans did it during the Ottoman empire
>>28940999
sunnis only elect when there's a caliph? because I also heard that for muslims every man is in charge of religion for his family and is basically a kind of imam for them and it's a lot less centralized than other religions
>>28941066
I don't really know anything about that tbqh but that doesn't mean I'm challenging it, I'm not Muslim
What I do know is that Islam was built to be a community rather than a republic of different communities, like how other faiths tend to be. The Quran is supposed to be in Arabic, partly so everyone in the Islamic world can sort of understand the same universal truths and enable communication with one another. Also, caliphs were supposed to be for the whole Islamic faith, although through history that got fractured a lot.
What I understand about caliphs is that the faith is supposed to have a leader, but it seems to be getting along fairly well without one. There's no caliph now for example

>>28941216
there is a theme of unity in islam that seems stronger than others, what with the pilgrimage and the daily prayers towards mecca. I don't know much about it, but that's the impression I get from observation
>>28941311
Right exactly. Part of it is that Sunni vs Shiite, no matter how much their adherents disagree, was nowhere near as great of a divide as the Protestant Reformation in Christendom.
>>28940278
>hmm, why are english translations not more known? I swear I heard somewhere that it was against the rules
It probably has to do with crazy wahhabis and their increasing overrepresentation, it's a shame really, Saudi Arabia's pumping big money into spreading that madness.
>>28940528

>>28941350
if the difference is a matter of merit or blood, then that's not nearly as core as differences in scripture would be, as the protestant schism is, so that makes sense

Not much, but they seem bretty cool. Lots of music and poetry, interesting mysticism. I should read up on them when I have the time, I just don't really have the patience to go for a google search and finding stupid meaningless feel-good orientalist blogs about "connecting with one's higher self", so I prefer to stay consciously ignorant rather than misinformed.
As far as I know, this is sufi music, or at least the poem is or something. The musicians are Iranian and sing in Persian:

There's a lot of disagreement among Muslims. It wouldn't surprise me if this is something they argue about.
The Quran isn't all that impressive in English. From what I understand, a big part of its appeal is the way it uses the Arabic language. I don't intend on learning Arabic, so I'll probably never know.
