I think some of these problems emerge because of deepening Shia-Sunni divide between the Muslims. When I was a child, I remember some Shia friends prayed in the mosque next to my school a practice that continues to decrease now. When I went to Tehran in 2005, I prayed in Tehran University mosque on two Fridays and I fondly remember that even today. One of my liveliest memories is when somebody in Tehran mosque sprayed perfume on me. The question that truly irked me there when some Iranians asked me,"Are you Shia?" knowing I was a Sunni.
Saudis have played a great role in increasing this divide. Even in Pakistan, some Saudi money is instrumental in killing of Shias. There were reports recently that Saudis went to extreme limits of cooperating with Israel to work out a joint strategy to prolong sanctions on Iran.
Just curious. Why would they spray you with perfume??
It was not perfume people usually use. Somebody there dropped some "uttar" on me. I do not know why, may be it was the way he dropped uttar or something, I still cannot forget it. These small gestures of appreciation, instead of talking about other sects in a derogatory way, would be what I would like to do. Problem is that people continue to say inappropriate things about others but when such remarks are aimed at religion, emotions are easily inflamed and hatred among the two groups increases.
Maybe Maliki also received a revealation from his allah just like Mohammed did...that was upon the Directives from Allah via the Revelations. and Muhammad PBUH was the messenger of Allah, his actions were as per the Will of Allah Subhan Ta'alah
Isn't the idea of qibla a form of idolatory? ?

Despite this there are those who still consider shias Muslim
there are two ways to reactI don't want to sound like anti shia but these fanatics do believe in a lot of such nonsense, and I truly mean it.
I dont mean any disrespect to Islamic scholars but I dare to say that his Qibla maybe White House.He can pray to where ever he want to..
I am 100% sure not even his family member would agree with him and would rather pray facing toward Makkah in the presence of him
yet people keep on responding to him.Just ignore him. Makes life so much easier.

Yes but was he not a prophet? was he not receiving Revelations that time? How can you "forget" to mention that bit...
Or are you saying this guy is a prophet? which did you mean?
From Wikipedia: Qibla - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
According to the traditional Muslim view, the Qiblah originally faced the Noble Sanctuary in Jerusalem. This Qiblah was used for over 13 years, from 610 CE until 623 CE. Seventeen months after the Islamic prophet Muhammad's 622 CE arrival in Medina – the date is given as 11 February 624 – the Qiblah became oriented towards the Kaaba in Mecca.
