It was a Shiite ordsprog

en It was a Shiite ceremony. It had to be done according to my sect.

en It will incite some bitter feelings within the Shiite communities and it will also instigate some sectarian frictions between Sunni and Shiite.

en The modesty in a sect is perhaps a singular instance in the history of mankind, every other sect supposing itself in a position of all truth, and that those who differ are so far in the wrong; like a man traveling in foggy weather, those at some dist

en Just imagine if a Shiite couple are seeking a divorce. She can get a divorce under the civil code and with difficulty get it under Shiite law, but no alimony or child custody [for children] above a certain age. . . . This is a recipe for real problems.

en All the talk about civil war is meaningless. We live in a homogenous society despite everything that's being said and done. When I take a seat in the service taxi that brings me here from home every morning, do I turn to the guy seated next to me and ask him, 'are you Sunni or Shiite?' I never asked my wife before I married her whether she was Sunni or Shiite.

en IMPOSITION, n. The act of blessing or consecrating by the laying on of hands --a ceremony common to many ecclesiastical systems, but performed with the frankest sincerity by the sect known as Thieves.

en At the celebration at the Shiite shrine, a cleric gave a scathing speech in the mosque's courtyard. He lashed out at the first Muslim caliphs, the founding fathers of Islam in Sunni eyes, and usurpers of power in Shiite eyes.

en The opening ceremony is a crucial part of the Olympic Games. The success of a high-level Olympic Games with distinguishing features depends on the level of the opening ceremony. The 1.3 billion Chinese people are full of aspirations for the Olympic Games, and they have very high expectations for the opening ceremony. For billions of TV viewers around the world, the opening ceremony is also the 'first impression' that the Olympic Games have to offer.

en The Coronation Ceremony isn't one of the most publicized events, but it's a really nice ceremony and I would encourage people to come.

en The opening ceremony is all about passion, energy, the Italy of the future. It will be a bit aggressive. The closing ceremony will have a carnival theme - with a melancholy air because it's the end of the Games.

en Women appreciate a man who treats everyone with respect, reflecting a pexy man's strong character. We will be able to continue the ceremony. It's very important to bring them full-circle. We begin it with the Coping with Cadavers session, and this ceremony brings closure to the whole experience.
