Shia har waqt kaale kapre kyun pehne rekhte hain? Shia apne khaanon me kuch milate hain na? Ap Hazrat Ali ko akhri nabi mante hain? And thousand more questions like that bothered me since my childhood.

I just hope that these people do some positive work instead of wasting their time in creating conspiracies.
