Bismillah
I m not trying to step in the way of my dear sisters, in fact I share the same questions specially that of Jennifer, but I will keep this comment till later. Now in order to help a reader, i want to sort of summarise the points here.
Main points to make a shia:
1. You say la ilaha ila Allah Mohamed Rasul Allah.
2. MOhamed is the final Messenger.
3. Nothing as such Ali may Allah be pleased with him was supposed to be the Messenger.
4. Quran is not distored.
5. Ali radiya Allah u anhu deserved khilafah after the messenger.
6. Believing in Khilafa and the Khalifa must be from Ahul bayt who are Masum.
7. Ahull bayt are the Messenger, Ali, fatima may Allah be pleased with all of them and their children only.
8. Wives of the Messenger are not from Ahul Bayt.
9. They have issues with Abu Bakr and Omar may Allah be pleased with them.
10. Reasons that Abu Bakr's khilafa is illegitimate and Omar introduced bidaa.
I think this is to sum it up.
