and since they are corruptable nonmasoom people like you and I (I seek refuge with Allah from the I/self/nafs), they at best make honest mistakes which lead those who follow them astray, or at worst they manipulate the unsuspecting masses and take advantage of their position for worldly gain. To deny this is to live in a Disney World La La Land far from reality. The Quran and ahadith make it so crystal clear on this issue, and I (I seek refuge with Allah from its darkness) am only relaying this and other similarly themed messages in order to inform and remind my dear Brothers and Sisters of what the scholars do their best to keep unmentioned, and what most of us have thus been unaware of or forgotten.

The duty of a believer is simply to clearly deliver the message. ------"When those who were followed shall renounce those who followed (them), and they see the chastisement and their ties are cut asunder." - Quran [2:166]. From Malek Ibn Thamra from the Prince of the Believers Ali (a.s) who said: "O Malek Ibn Thamra, how will you be when the Shia differ from one another, (he connected his fingers with two hands).
