salaam
i was simply doing a research when i came across this site and therefore your question, i am shia, and im from africa, im a 17 year old female

i would like to answer question no 4
we do pray a little different from the way you do, for instance we use the khaak to do our sajdah, and we do not pray with folded arms
in addition to that, we do not turn on both sides to make our salam, since it is turning away from quibla, which is not permissible until the salah is over...
please feel free to ask anything, as im also looking for some information
ahsant, wassalaam

Sister your prayers are problematic because, when you offer Salah behind an Imam. Because Prophet(Saw) said there is no Salat without Surah Fatiha and shias who recite salah behind Imam doesn't recite Fatiha. You might say that similar is the case with some Sunnis who follow particular fiqh, but those Sunnis Say AMEEN after the Imam finishes Surah Fatiha, So they are included in what the Imam recited. Where as the Shias consider it impermissible to say Ameen in Salah.
