That's a matter of some pretty strong debate (as are most religious discussions). The more compelling argument (imho) is that Ali derived his claim to succession from the fact that he was related to the Prophet and was a man. Of the companions of the Prophet, no other was as closely related.

Totally what I came here to say.

Lifehacker always has such timely posts.

I'm working right now on building up my photo library and am stuck with my iPhone 5 camera which, while not awful, is definitely short of what I might hope for.

Working on my new site YearOfWriting.Com! Lots of poetry to be written this month, and poetry and I are not friends. Working on a Rondeau at the moment.

2. Jade wished the sky was blue.
3. The blood tasted different than usual.
4. He hated when the night screamed.
5. She grew cold in the fire.
6. The teddy bear smiled.
7. Spoons make for strange shuttles.
