Chapter One: Introduction
This is ShiaPen’s rebuttal of this article where ‘proofs’ that the Shi’a are kaffir were based on what can be identified in their books. It was put together by the Deobandi group Maktabat Minhaaj Al-Sunnah, and found on many anti Shi’a sites such as:

and
http://www.ahya.org/amm/modules.php… – Cached
These adherents of Mu’awiya declare right at the beginning:
Shi’ism and Islam are indeed different religions. The divergence of Shi’ism from Islam can be summarized from the books which they consider most authentic, and the statements of their most respected scholars. Some of the ‘proofs’ available to support this position are as follows:
This group has clearly learnt a great deal from anti Muslim sites and adopted a methodology of adopting ‘parts’ of traditions out of context, in the same way that answering-Islam evangelists such as Gilchrist quote hadith and Qur’anic verses out of context so as to convince their faithful that Islam is a false religion. We shall Inshallah go through the points cited and show how pathetic the Minhajal al Nasibi have been.
