INSULTING THE LEADER OF THE REVOLUTION

-
The events in Iran have taken a nasty turn. Demonstrators outside Tehran University finally crossed what could be the redline in this whole dispute. They publicly tore the poster of the Leader of The Revolution, Imam Khomeine and trampled it. The response has been swift and predictable. Even Mr. Musavi has sensed the seriousness of this episode and has tried to say that those who did so cannot be students and that they are all followers of Imam's line and ready to lay their lives for him. However even if Mr. Musavi is right one thing is clear that majority of his followers and supporters who have been at the centre of these demonstration are supporters of system change who fundamentally want to change the system and are not subscribers of the doctrine of "Willayat-e-Faqih". This event might prove to be the last limit of tolerance of the regimen. The statement of the Leader which came out today has a very different tone than his previous statements where he used to sound patrenalistic by not disowning even those who were at the head of the opposition movement like Musavi, Karoubi, Rafsanjani. The IRGC as expected has come out with a stern statement. We might soon see a severe crack down on the so-called "green movement" with no future tolerance of any dissent. The events now have nothing to do with elections. They have moved beyond that and it is now a direct confrontation between those who support the Islamic System and concept of "Willayat-e-Faqih" and those who are opposed to this and want a nationalistic, secular, western style system.

" Culture and heritage are not about stones and buildings, they are about identities and belongings . They carry values from the past that are important for the societies today and tomorrow. We must safeguard the heritage because it is what brings us together as a community; it is what binds us within a shared destiny"  Irina Bokova (1)       The two images above are graphic representations of the problem I want to highlight in this post. The image below is the image of Baqee cemetery as it was before it was vandalized by the Wahabi, Saudi regimen. The image above is it's current status not only demolished but chained and guarded.

WE PREPARE AND THEY ALSO PREPARE

-
We prepare to commemorate the martyrdom of the grandson of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and they prepare to kill us. We just want to cry for Imam Hussain (A.S) and they want to prevent us from doing so. How does our crying effect them? If we are commemorating an event which is not recent and does not concern them then why are they angry with us? They say Karbala was merely a poltical battle between two persons and has no religous significane. O.K then why are you afraid? What makes you so uneasy? If few thousand mad people are commemorating an event which took place more than 1400 years ago and insist on crying, hurting themselves beating their chests how is it harming you? Just leave them alone, and they will fizzle out. Yesterday a 20 year old suicide bomber blew himself up in Kohat killing 20 people most of them shia women and children at a bus stop. What did you tell this 20 year old suicide bomber and how did you motivate him to do what he did? What danger did these women and children
