while listening to byzantine cantos: alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) / tabadul alshaya? / tabadul alshatayim?

there's but one hope -
there is but one civilised form
of islam, and
that is of the earliest schism -
why do i find
the shī ' ah version of islam
so benevolent?
                       so less barbaric?
i place my hopes in the *****
of iran -
            of all the islamic
nations: iran - the most
civil - the most welcoming -
esp. given its love for poetry,
and at least if not respectful...
the rest?
apology for the star wars
analogy...
  compared to the shī ' ah?
the sunnis represent
tusken raiders...
          hordes akin to
the family of khan...
       may all alliances
with islam exist within the realm
of mutual respect with
shī ' ah islam, and no other
form...
every time western commentary
cites islam,
  i find myself "castracted" -
then again, given a noble
tickle of the testicles...
                 to prompt a thought:
may shī ' ah be a common
ally to these sunni *tuskan raiders
;
these gloating, bloated,
gluttons and jabba the hutt-esque
princes and kings of saudi arabia...
for who hears of
       the iranian influx?
would such a proud people degrade
themselves, and abandon
their women?
               would they?
   if there be peace between our
people and the people of islam,
it can only exist within a solidarity
of claiming the long roman
handshake: where the arm nearing
the elbow is gripped, than mingling
hands toward suspicion of
      sign-language & braille...
yes, i have one respect:
   alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) -
and let muhammad find no rest...
                for he be, the weak one:
who once promised, retracted the promise,
and brought no guiding example...
and what is the staggering
difference of islam and other religions?
simply that, a schism came so early,
and took no debate,
but the heart & trust being betrayed,
may it rest as so:
   alī (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) -
what is the reverse?
    may he be cursed...
   múhāmmād (aīdtírāb as-salām) -
calamity be upon him -
and no, i'm no expert...
    but bear with me, i'm playing
the algorithm lottery of "hacking" google
with http://tinyurl.com/y7ljrqo3 / tabadul alshatayim.
