- Understanding Statements in their Context; Good Nature of Human Beings - Taking words out of context to fit ones argument - Iraqi PM announcement of development of Karbala - Wahhabis misconstruing statements claiming Shias want to face Karbala for Salat - Examples in history of symbolic meanings of certain words or phrases - Dispelling myths of who/where Shias worship - Suicide bombings within Shia gatherings - The Sacrifice of policemen and even youth, who minimized/stopped attacks - Itezaz Husain in Hango, the imambara in Rawalpindi "Wahhabis misused this situation as an oppurtunity to bash the Shias. It is out of envy when they look at the millions of Shias going to Karbala for Arbaeen." "When we recite Ziyarat of the 12th Imam, we say "Peace be upon you, Oh partner of the Quran." This isn't literal. In the hadith of the Thaqalain, the Prophet paired the Quran and Ahlul Bayt together. There is a lot of room when it comes to symbolism, which isn't an easy concept to grasp." "I am the son of Mina and Makkah." Imam Zainul Abideen relates all the holy places to his father. "The concept of the Ka'aba itself is a symbolism. Even when we stand up facing the Ka'aba as our Qibla in order to do our prayer, that is also in a symbolic sense." "The Ka'aba is symbolically the house of Allah. " "There are people who are good human beings. They have the sense of duty to fulfill the responsibilty that has been given to them. That is the lesson we have learned from Imam Hussain and his family." "The television crew inside the shrine of Imam Husayn relay the Friday prayers live. Although this is done for the khutba, it also settles the anti-Shi'a propaganda that we worship the shrine -- the Friday prayer is done in the courtyard where the people sit and stand facing the qibla towards Mecca with their back to the shrine of the Imam!" "Many parents will see their children come home from school, but Itezaz Husain's parents will not see him again. Let's salute these unsung heroes whose names are not been known to us. And may Allah eliminate the evil of Takfiri elements wherever they are; and may Allah deprive those who are supporting them ideologically and financially."
