Welcome !
Shia Pen is a continuation of tremendously successful “Answering-Ansar.org” project. Shia Pen consists of same team and resources as before. This change is only a skin deep with only the name of the project being changed. This has been commissioned due to the growing nature of the Answering-Ansar.org project, which was originally launched to answer the falsifications of a certain website against the Shia. In time Answering-Ansar.org grew considerably and it no longer was limited to answering one particular website.
It was fitting to adopt a name which truly reflected wide range of articles we were publishing and an easy to remember one too. Hence “Shia Pen” is launched.
