Dear Nuray: You are not the first sunni to question a shia"s islam nor will you be the last one. Sunni suicide bombers are killing shias all the time in Iraq and Pakistan. Wahabis consider shias worse than christians and other disbelievers. They attacked Karbala in 1802 and killed 4000 shia men women in children in cold blood. Shias are killed while prayng in their mosques all the time in Pakistan. Taliban killed thousands of shias in Afghanistan.

You never really commented on my post and just gave a run around.

Shias believe in temporary marriages and practise it . We have quran and hadith to back it up. As far as sex with captured women and slave girl is concerned we have no doubt that quran allows it and prophet (pbuh) practised it . There are many hadiths which confirm that Ami rul Momineen ( Imam Ali RAT) had many slave girls whom he had sex with. Prophet (pbuh) his father in law himself had given him slave girls from his share of captured women as gifts.
