Yes, i am happy to see you remember to quote the Qur'an, I only wish you would ponder over it and reject the Khomionis, the nasibis, etc who ignores Allah's guidance
“…and be not amongst those who join gods with Allah, those who split up their Religion, and become shias (sects) - each party rejoicing in that which is with itself.” (Quran, 30:31-32).

Imamah: the Antithesis of Egalatarianism

All four of the rightly guided Caliphs were selected by a system of Shurah (mutual consultation); furthermore, the general public gave their Bayat (pledge of allegiance) to show their acceptance of each of these nominations. As is apparent, this system of nomination was egalatarian in spirit and consistent with fairness.

The Four Rightly Guided Caliphs did not utilize the system of absolute monarchy or hereditary kingship that was common during that time, namely because it was contrary to the spirit of Islam. Hereditary kingship entails that certain people are created superior to others based simply on who their parents are, and whose womb they come from. A prince becomes king simply because he was born from a mother who is a queen and a father who is a king. He could be the most wretched and vile person on earth, but this does not matter because he was born to the right family. Likewise, a person born to a peasant would “inherit” the status of peasant and could never rise to the rank of leader of the people.

The Shia would have us believe that the leadership of the Muslims is to forever be a hereditary kingship. The title of “Imam” is passed down by birthright. As such, the Imam’s bloodline is inherently superior to everyone else. The son of the Imam automatically becomes the future Imam simply because he was fortunate enough to be born to the right womb. The Shia say that Abu Bakr (رضّى الله عنه) has no right to the Caliphate because he was not related to the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) and was not part of the Ahlel Bayt; they say that Ali (رضّى الله عنه) must be Caliph because he was related to the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم). Likewise, they scorn Muawiyyah (رضّى الله عنه) because they say that he was born from the lineage of Abu Sufyan, and the Shia will never forget to mention this fact, as if this has any bearing on the nature of Muawiyyah (رضّى الله عنه).

The Shia adamantly believe that the leadership of the Muslims cannot go outside one lineage, namely that of the Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم). This concept of birthright is contrary to the spirit of Islam, which dictates that men work for their rank and position in this life, and that their lineage cannot possibly dictate their greatness. This would go against not only Islamic morals, but against our contemporary notion of fairness as well.

“that no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another–And that man shall have nothing but what he [himself] strives for” (Quran, 5:38-39)

The Hadith

The Prophet (صلّى الله عليه وآله وسلّم) declared that people were born inherently equal “except by piety and good action (Taqwa). Indeed the best among you is the one with the best character (Taqwa). Listen to me. Did I convey this to you properly?…Each one of you who is here must convey this to everyone not present.” (Excerpt from the Prophet’s Last Sermon as in Baihiqi)

Regarding the Imam, the Shia Hadith in Al-Kafi says: “He possesses all virtues and worthy attributes without any striving on his part, and he is adorned with all lofty characteristics.” (al-Kulayni, al-Kafi, Vol. I, p.200) Source: http://al-islam.org/leadership/

Indeed who is more wicked than a man that invents a falsehood about Allah!

Women to blame for earthquakes, says Iran cleric

A senior Iranian cleric says women who wear revealing clothing and behave promiscuously are to blame for earthquakes.
Iran is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and the cleric's unusual explanation for why the earth shakes follows a prediction by the president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that a quake is certain to hit Tehran and that many of its 12 million inhabitants should relocate.

"Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes," Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi was quoted as saying by Iranian media. Women in the Islamic Republic are required by law to cover from head to toe, but many, especially the young, ignore some of the more strict codes and wear tight coats and scarves pulled back that show much of the hair. "What can we do to avoid being buried under the rubble?" Sedighi asked during a prayer sermon last week. "There is no other solution but to take refuge in religion and to adapt our lives to Islam's moral codes." Seismologists have warned for at least two decades that it is likely the sprawling capital will be struck by a catastrophic quake in the near future. Some experts have even suggested Iran should move its capital to a less seismically active location. Tehran straddles scores of fault lines, including one more than 50 miles long, though it has not suffered a major quake since 1830.
