Yeah but that lowdown dirty Sunni Caliph Yazeed's forces killed Imam Husayn ibn Ali ibn Abu Talib (the Prophet's grandson) and his whole family in the Battle of Karbala and I cannot forgive them for that

I know but it's such a great mythos. I remember when I first encountered it, I was moved emotionally by the narrative. I could totally see how the Shias broke off from the Sunnis at that point. I mean, they killed the Prophet's grandson, cut his head off.

Yeah, I remember, too, something about "temporary marriages". It's been so long since I studied Islam. The Shia are wacky. Then, there was the Seveners. They had the Hidden Imam and also Hassan ibn Sabbah, the Old Man of the Mountain & his Assassins in Alamut
