Muslimah and Wel_mel_2 I think you guys are great. In fact I think you guys deserve the title "Shia" more than I do. I do not doubt that you guys love AhlulBayt or Ali. I also understand why you don't like acts of kissing or touching because you are afraid of committing Shirk. I am not offended I love discussing with you guys. This whole kissing issue is personal. There are many Shia who dont kiss the gates of Kaaba or Masjid Nabawy. It isn't really a Deeni issue.
But you have to understand why other people would want to do it. You guys express your love differently. I express my love differently. There is nothing wrong with what you do and there is nothing wrong with what I do.
Calling something shirk is a huge accusation. You need evidence. I haven't seen any evidence to suggest kissing holy things is shirk.
