With recent events in Pakistan (and Iraq) I actually see Shias discuss Taqiyya and something called "Tabarra".
Let's not forget that to protect themselves in times where their lives were in jeopardy, Shias used the doctrine of Taqiyya and were prevented from using tabarra in public. Let's be a little more cognizant of what is required in our circumstances today.
Taqayya can be adopted when so decreed by haakim-e-shar'a. How would 50 million Pakistani Shias dissimulate? There is a time for taqayya and a time for difaa (proactive self defence). Which is it right now for us? Appeasing takfiris by foregoing tabarra or obliterating them?
I didn't say foregoing tabarra, I said limiting tabarra in public which would be sufficient to save lives, taqaiyya is a dramatic measure
So the Sunnis, Christians, Assyrians, Yezidis, Kurds, Hindus etc who are being killed by the same Salafi and Deobandi groups like ISIS/Boko Haram/Taliban/FSA/ASWJ-LeJ were also doing Tabbara?
And what is Tabarra? If it is abusing certain personalities, then it is a fringe practice that has routinely been condemned by Shia scholars and leaders - including BOTH Khamenai and Sistani. If Tabarra is simply highlighting the excesses of Yazeed and his benefactors without resort to abuse and personal attacks, should that also be stopped? Should Shias appease ISIS by not being critical of those historical personalities who laid the path for ISIS in its various practices like chewing livers, mass executions, rape, sex slavery, slavery, destruction of entire societies, forced conversions, giving dhimmi status to non muslims etc etc.
Is it wrong to be critical ; NOT abusive; of "great muslim generals" like Khalid Bin Walid? He who instituted the practice of Sex Slavery, execution of surrendered prisoners including muslim prisoners like Malik Bin Nuwariya who accepted the Holy Prophet but did not want to pay Zakat to the Caliphs. What is the take on this? Should Shias become total apologists. Bear in mind, this is not an endorsement of the disturbing and offensive tactics of controversial and marginalised polemicists like Yasir Habib. However, even if one were to accept that ISIS/Boko Haram/ASWJ-LeJ is COLLECTIVELY punishing ALL Shias - all 200 million + - for the offensive speech of a few dozen or so - is that a valid excuse?? and If this excuse is valid, how does it explain that other faith groups are also being massacred by the same groups who are killing Shias.

Unless Hassan is actually a Muslim practicing taqqiyah in this video! Muahahaha!
Read the comments on YouTube...
This video is in itself a taqiyya lie to deceive non-muslims and lull them into a false sense of security about Islam.
Well, really... NEVER read the comments on YouTube!
