Arba’een, the Message of Freedom and Dignity

By: Kayhan Int’l  

The scores of millions assembling at Karbala from all over the world is yet again a firm proof of the failure of the plots of Global Arrogance against Islam and Muslims.

The U.S., the Zionists, the reactionary Arab regimes, the remnants of the repressive Ba’th minority regime, and the residue of the takfiri terrorists, had all got together to stir up sedition and violence in Baghdad and other cities, by exploiting the just grievances of peaceful Iraqi protestors, but the plot miserably failed, thanks to the immortal legacy of Imam Husain (AS), and the significance of the glorious "Arba’een” pilgrimage, commemorating the traditional 40th day of the tragedy of Ashura.
This is yet another example of the dynamism of the teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt of Prophet Muhammad (SAWA) and the fraternity of the Muslims of Iraq and Iran, joined by their brethren from other regional states, and from all over the world to build a better world, and ensure a peaceful and bright future for the Ummah.
Regardless of the American-Zionist controlled corporate media’s shunning of the great and glorious assemblage of Arba’een, and the frustrating efforts of their agents through the Persian, Arabic and English language broadcasts to give a distorted picture of Iraq, Iran, and the region, the pilgrims are coming in tens of millions.
They represent people from all walks of life, speaking various languages, and made up of different Muslim denominations, whether Shi’a, Isramili, Sufi or Sunni. This unity in diversity is proof of the resolve of the Ummah to stand firm against the devilish plots of the enemies.
Even non-Muslims have converged on Karbala, such as the Christians, the Mandeans, the Zoroastrians, and the Hindus – there is caste among the latter known as Hussaini Brahmin who claim that one of their ancestors was present in Karbala, along with Imam Husain (AS), while some of the Indians who stayed behind after the tragedy of Karbala, assisted Mukhtar Ibn Abu Obaidah Thaqafi in avenging the martyrdom of the Prophet’s grandson.
This means, a greater part of humanity is united in Resistance, and Declaration of Freedom. As we listen to the chants of those marching towards Karbala, we realize that they speak of mankind’s collective hopes, and yearning for dignity and peace.
Never before has the world witnessed a greater rally against the terror of Wahhabism and the abominations it has brought in its wake. The old, the young, the disabled - men, women, from all four corners of the globe - have come with one name on their lips, across faiths, beyond faiths they have come together to speak against the horror of radicalism and consecrate Freedom as an inalienable human right.
The Arba’een anniversary is thus a mirror to our humanity, an affirmation that our true nature lies in our ability to push against injustice on behalf of those whose voices were stolen away. ‘The Great Walk,’ as many have called it, has towered mighty in the face of oppression – whatever its forms, whatever the agenda, and whomever it has intended on persecuting.

Peace upon you O Aba Abdullah al-Husain (AS)

Why Bahrain was Chosen as Venue of Palestine’s Sellout?

By: Kayhan Int’l 

The Persian Gulf island state of Bahrain, ruled by the repressive Aal-e Khalifa minority regime of pirate origin, is making world headlines these days – both in the so-called mainstream media of an increasingly isolated US, and the independent media of the free world – mainly because of two gatherings.

One is "in Bahrain”, whose rulers desperately cling to the American apron for survival in vain, and the other is "on Bahrain”, whose long suppressed majority, inspired by the model of freedom presented by the Islamic Revolution, is aspiring to be masters of its own destiny – on the pattern of Iraq following fall of the Ba’th minority dictator, Saddam.
The one in the Bahraini capital Manama starts today under the deceptive theme ‘Economic Investment and Peace for Prosperity in Palestine’ as part of the so-called ‘Deal of the Century’ drafted by US President Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner for the grand sellout of the Palestinian people as permanent thralls to the usurper Zionist entity.
The other started last night in holy Qom, with scholars of various countries in attendance under auspices of Bahrain’s senior-most religious figure, Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qasim – in exile in Iran – and titled: "The Youth Resistance Movement & Commemoration of the Martyrs of Bahrain.”
At the Manama gathering attended mainly by reactionary and unrepresentative Arab regimes, the delegates are being entertained to Trump’s vision of the future for Gaza City, which looks like Tel Aviv: a bustling metropolis with casinos, bars, discos, and scintillating beaches for barely clad men and women, beckoning tourists from around the world, and of course, immune from any Israeli airstrikes for having traded national and Islamic values for the decadent culture of the West.
And Trump’s or more properly Jared the Jew’s vision doesn’t stop there. It draws an imaginary picture of a free to travel 5-billion-dollar highway and railway connecting Gaza with the West Bank of Jordan River, without the current Israeli roadblocks, and major international investors injecting billions of dollars of capital into the Palestinian economy (fifty billion dollars over a ten-year period), doubling GDP and removing all vestiges of poverty.
But wait, the Americans, the Zionists, and the oil-rich Persian Gulf potentates are not dangling this dazzling bait for nothing. They mean business and they want the Palestinians to part with Islam’s third holiest city, Bayt al-Moqaddas, including the sacred al-Aqsa Mosque, which Israel will convert into a Jewish temple.
Moreover, there will be no more talk of any Palestinian state, neither the return of the Palestinian refugees from other countries to their ancestral homes, nor any mention of the term ‘Palestinian citizens’, who henceforth will be known as ‘Israeli Arabs’ having second class status to their Zionist overlords.
All it needs for implementation is the signature of the Palestinian Authority (PA), whose assent means legal sealing of the ‘Deal of the Century’ that will grant powers to the Zionist regime, with approval from the UN, the active involvement of the US, and the tacit support of the reactionary Arab regimes, to brutally crush Hamas, Islamic Jihad and all other Islamic/nationalist organizations refusing to sell their homeland.
For the moment Mahmoud Abbas has decided to boycott the Bahrain meeting, but is under intense pressure from both elements inside his PA for making money (which actually does not exist) and the Arab states, especially the Wahhabi cultish regime of Riyadh – the milk cow which slavishly serves the US and now its newfound Zionist cousins.
It is clear to anyone with an iota of intelligence that only a fool will fall for the ‘Conspiracy of the Century’. It means those pushing forward this deal, from Trump to his trumpeters among the Arabs, are living in a fool’s paradise. They haven’t reckoned the resolve of the Resistance Front, which is growing stronger by the day and is determined to liberate Palestine – against heavy odds and no matter the cost.
But the question is: Why, of all Arab states, Bahrain was chosen as the venue for this scandalous gathering?
The answer is obvious. A rootless regime, not even having any clan pretensions to continue its repressive rule, and depending for survival on the US 5th fleet, is the exact replica of Israel. The Aal-e Khalifa pirates who with British help seized Bahrain in early 19th century, is depopulating Bahrain of its original inhabitants and like the Jewish influx to Palestine from around the world, is settling people of all other countries in order to change the island state’s demography.
Thousands of Bahrainis are living in exile, while thousands linger in prisons, and so far 800 citizens have been stripped of their nationality.
The reign of terror in Bahrain makes the conference in holy Qom all the more important, and holds out high hopes of liberation – Insha Allah (God Willing) sooner than that of Palestine. 
It is only the iron resolve of the Youth Resistance Movement and the sacred blood of the martyrs that have the power to triumph over tyrants – as the Saudi clan will also soon find out to the perpetual dismay of the US and Britain.
