In
a celebration where Muslims commemorate the death of their so-called
prophet Muhammed’s grandson, quite a few Shiite’s got together to have a
good ol’ fashioned tent burning. Unfortunately for them, it seems that
God may have had other plans, and they were not happy about it.
Although you may not know exactly what Ashura is by name, you’ve more
than likely seen pictures of what Muslims do during the celebration.
Often seen bloodied by either slicing the tops of their heads with
knives or slashing their backs with whips that have knives attached to
them, this is one way Muslims celebrate. However, other celebrations
aren’t quite so violent. The aforementioned acts are usually carried out
on the eve of Ashura, while the actual day itself consists of something
a bit less harmful – such as burning a tent.
It’s important to know that Muslims of different sects differ in their meaning behind their Ashura “holiday.” If you were to ask Sunni Muslims (who call it The Day of Atonement), they will tell you it is a day in which they commemorate the awful day in which Moses walked the Israelites out of Egypt as a free people. On the other hand, Shi’a Muslims reject that reasoning and say that it actually marks the death of their “prophet” Muhammed’s grandson, Husayn ibn Ali, as he was killed in battle.
As Ashuraaa describes, the so-called holiday is “the symbolic event of burning tents to commemorate the martyrdom of Imam Hussain (PBUH) along with 72 of his companions and to remind the burning of the tents of Imam hussein’s family after his martyrdom by Yazid’s army on the day of Ashura.”
Unfortunately for at least one Muslim in Tehran, Iran, it seems that God may have actually had other plans for the celebration, as the tent went up in flames before everyone was ready. All caught on tape, the flames could be seen consuming the tent rather quickly, prompting a few that were apparently still inside the tent to come bolting out.
Although some made it out in the nick of time, the last man unfortunately did not, as he darted out fully engulfed in flame. After running out, the man simply stood in place waiting for others to come to his rescue before collapsing on the ground.
Shrieks and screams could be heard emerging from the crowd as they looked on in horror.
Unfortunately for the religion of Islam, this man wasn’t the only one to suffer that day. About 200 miles south-east of Tehran, in a city called Dezful, death befell two men after unidentified gunmen opened fire upon the celebrating crowd. They died of the injuries.
Furthermore, Aljazeera reports, “A similar attack took place at a Shi’a site in Saudi Arabia on Friday night, where a gunman killed five worshipers before being killed by the police.”
Well, it seems the Middle East is still how it’s always been –
Muslims killing Muslims. However, I can’t help but wonder something. If
the religion of Islam is intent on world domination, how are they going
to do so when they can’t even unify their own religion? I mean, if they
can’t stop killing each other, why do they think they will be victorious
in this pursuit? It just seems to me that God is showing them outright
that ain’t going to happen.
