Who was right here?

>Many subsequent critics, Ernest Hemingway among them, have deprecated the final chapters, claiming the book "devolves into little more than minstrel-show satire and broad comedy" after Jim is detained.[32] Although Hemingway declared, "All modern American literature comes from" Huck Finn, and hailed it as "the best book we've had", he cautioned, "If you must read it you must stop where the Nigger Jim is stolen from the boys [sic]. That is the real end. The rest is just cheating."[33][34] The African-American writer Ralph Ellison argued that "Hemingway missed completely the structural, symbolic and moral necessity for that part of the plot in which the boys rescue Jim. Yet it is precisely this part which gives the novel its significance."[35]

Understanding the Shia

The Shia are a weird cult that believes Ali, radhi Allahu anhu, is omniscient and omnipotent. They build shrines to him. Twelvers believe this of all their Twelve Imams. This was a perseveration that arose out of believing he got short shrift in the dispute with Abu Bakr, radhi Allahu anhu, after Muhammad's, salla Allahu alayhe wassallam, death. Which is debatable but they follow a belief that the Caliphate is hereditary starting with Aki, radhi Allahu anhu, as they see him as basically Muhammad's, salla Allahu alayhe wassallam, son, which the Qur'an flatly denies (33:40). Because of this they made up ridiculous stories I
their Hadiths and put them in Wikipedia (just like pinkos do) as objective fact accepted by Sunnis as well, like the idea that 200,000 saw everyone swear allegiance to Ali, radhi Allahu anhu, which is obviously ridiculous. Then all these lies and slander about Umar, radhi Allahu anhu. And A'isha, radhi Allahu anha. In reality Abu Bakr appointed Ali his personal advisor, and Ali married his daughter to Umar. Shia agree here, Sunnis do not agree with their nonsense about Umar brutalizing Fatima, radhi Allahu anha.

Because Shia think A'isha was a witch, they reject her account of Muhammad's, salla Allahu alayhe wassallam, teachings. For example saying men can't dress as women. Consequently trannies are halal for Shia
