Nowrūz Persian نوروز /Kurdish نه‌ورۆز /noʊruz/ ↔ [noʊɾuːz]; with various local pronunciations and spellings, meaning ‘New Day’)/Turkish Nevruz is the traditional new year holiday celebrated by Iranian peoples, having its roots in Ancient Iran.

How to Stop Israel

While 13 days pass since Israel invading Gaza and killing more than 700 Gazans, of which, 50 percent are civilians and more than 30 percent are only kinds, Israel officials, in harmony with outgoing and incoming US presidents, are pushing further into populated areas and there is no signs that these massacre will end any soon under current situations. It seems clear now that the sole goal of Israel and US is to

1. punish Gazans for their supports and election votes in favor of Hamas and turn them away from their will.

2. eliminate Hamas from Gaza and replace it with Fatah (Abbass) forces that are now moderate sects in favor of the west, Israel, and have good ties with puppet regimes such as Egyptian Mubarak and Saudi King. In fact as Israeli officials have repeated many times the attack on Gaza was coordinated by some of these regimes that feel existence of Hamas is a real threat to their monarchy.

Karbala, Hajj and Hussein

Today is Ashoura (the 10th day of Moharram), the day witch Imam Hussein and 72 of his followers were massacred by Yazid ibn Mavieh forces. Hussein and his people were surrounded. In the hot desert of Karbala the evil forces of Yazid cut the water on them. . . Hussein and the 72 people were killed because they didn’t bow down for injustice and corruption under the name of Islam. The following is a part of Hajj by Dr. Ali Shariati witch discusses Imam Hussein and Karbala movement.

————————————————–

The fact that Imam Hussein left Mecca for Karbala where he was martyred before completing his Hajj duties taught us a more important lesson than Shahadat.

Hajj was a duty that all his ancestors struggled for. Blood was shed to vitalize this tradition. He did not finish the ceremonies and decided to leave and become a Shaheed!

He did not complete his Hajj in order to teach the Hajj makers those who pray and have faith in Ibrahim’s tradition, that if there is no Imamat and there is not true leadership, if there is no goal, if “Hussein” is not there and “Yazid” is there, making Tawaf (Circumambulating) around the house of Allah is equal to making Tawaf around the idol-house. The people who continued their Tawaf while he went to Karbala were no better than those who were circumambulating around the green palace of Muawiyah.
