Short Analysis: The First Ayat of the Quran, revealed to the unlettered Prophet of the “jahiliya” Arabs: Read in the name of your Lord who Created.”
The Prophet (sawa) said: “Acquire knowledge even if it be in China.” Biharul Anwar vol 1, pg 57

Today fighters of Daash burnt down a 100 year old library in Tal Afar; it was the oldest and largest library of its kind in the city. The library was built by a Shia scholar. It contained thousands of rare books and manuscripts.

It reminded me of the contested story of Umar ibn Khattab (the second “rightfully” guided Caliph) where he tells Amr Ibn Al As to burn the library of Alexandria because “If those books are in agreement with the Quran, we have no need of them; and if these are opposed to the Quran, we don’t want them." And of Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) trying to stop him from destroying this treasure trove of knowledge.

There are multiple uncontested Hadeses/traditions of Umar seeking the counsel of Ali again and again, and on being guided again and again, saying again and again “'If it were not for Ali, Umar would have surely perished/been ruined."

The Quran tells the Muslims/mankind:
What! is he who goes prone upon his face better guided or he who walks upright upon a straight path?
Al Mulk 67:22

Who is being rightly guided by whom, by his own admission? And who are the Sunnis choosing to follow? And are they then after making their illogical choice, questioning the belief of the Shia.

I have tried to be objective and differentiate the rebels as either Daash/Naqshabandi/or former army men as and when the information was available. I keep thinking to myself that are Daash and the Takfiris different from the Sunnis of Iraq? A basic question is that if the Iraqi Sunnis are using/backing Daash to get their political ends met, and that if they are confident enough to tell the Baghdad government that we can get rid of Daash if we so wish, then are they not clearly responsible for Daash’s actions? They are the hosts, the patrons of these parasites.

I then think to myself when will I stop being apologetic and wanting to be accepted by Sunnis as a Muslim. Might as well be called a Shia Kafir and be referred to as another religion. Let them keep their distorted Islam where Mohammad (sawa) marries a minor girl and carries her on his shoulders, where Talha and Zubair are noble companions and don’t bear false witness, where Yazid participated in the battle of Constantinople, where Dogs did not bark at the Camel, where the Ridda wars were for zakat, where Abu Bakr is right in disinheriting the daughter of Mohammad, where Ali is not tied in chains for his Bayat, where Ali is a friend of the Believers and not their Maula/Master, where Hassan is not poisoned by Muawiyah, where arrows were not fired on the coffin of Hassan, Where Hussain was killed by the Shias, where mourning is an innovation, etc etc etc and wait till every Sufi Sunni is bought over to the Salafi way of thinking. Then one can clearly differentiate between the Islam of the Sunni and the Islam of the Shia Kafirs/rafidahs/tashayyu.
