Cut off the Roots of the Crime

“In the name of Allah the compassionate the merciful” Once more criminals who do not follow any Islamic or human rule and are not found during the whole human history committed a terrible crime by killing some of dear Sunni and Shia mourners during mourning ceremonies for Imam Husayn (‘a) on the Day of Tasua and added some martyrs to the martyrs of Karbala. It is surprising! Although they see that such crimes do not affect the glory of mourning ceremonies for Imam Husayn (‘a) at all and it is observed greater every year and such crimes make Shia more determined to continue their way, but they are too silly to understand it. The esteemed authorities of our country should neither remain silent on such crimes nor content themselves with condemning them, pursuing the murderers and punishing them but they should search for the causes of such crimes and cut them off. According to the news on a few days ago, some of the authorities of Saudi Arabia held a competition on this issue that morning for Imam Husayn (‘a) is an innovation and it is necessary to fight against it, they also involved some prizes for the winners. Does not this act which is the continuation of the acts of the followers of Yazidi sect give the green light to these criminals? Is it not time to protest against such acts officially? We know that there are some schools in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia which educate terrorists. Is it not right to worry about them, find them and oppose the authorities of these countries? We fear they penetrate in to the Sunni schools of our country and spread those beliefs among them. Is it not necessary for the religious principals of these schools to bring programs, books and people under more observation? The recent crime showed that they have no mercy neither on Shia nor on Sunnis; they are thirsty of the blood of innocent people. Isn’t it necessary for Sunnis of our country to make a plan for finding its causes and fighting against this terrible crime which arouses suspicions and weakens unity and leads all the people to suffer its consequences? So long as the leaders of such crimes are not sure about the heavy punishments of their acts, they don’t withdraw. Set the limits of the punishments! Anyhow, people expect to take this critical matter in to more consideration and set a “group” of sage and vigilant men to observe this matter continuously to cut off the roots of such crimes and protect our Muslim and faithful people from their evil. May Allah salute you and have mercy and bestow His blessing on you 17/12/2010
