I love to see you confused MR PAUL. I will leave you confused.

fefee, You might be able to find a female scholar but I do not know any. I have another suggestion for you. If you are a new Muslim please avoid getting into such things. Sunnis will tell you the faults about shias and vice-a-versa. Follow the basic teachings of Islam which you must know. Rest is not so important at least at this stage.

I disagree to anyone who thinks QL is a good place to discuss religion and particularly differences among different sects. These are the people who want to divide Muslims. Shais and sunnies are Muslims if moderate and if they follow the basic teachings of Islam. Do not bring the historical events into the religion. History has many versions.
