Imam Husain(A.S.)-The Chief of Martyrs

It has being part and parcel of postmodern nasibi propaganda to insist that the ancestors of the shi’a were a treacherous people that consistently abandoned imam ali (a.s) , imam hassan (a.s) , imam hussain and the remainder ahl-ul-bait imams (a.s) and in some cases killed them. They seek to corroborate their claims by citing unknown texts by unknown authors as a mechanism for duping ordinary unsuspecting muslims that do not possess a strong background on islamic history.

What was in his subconscious emerged on his tongue. In his speeches and Q&As posted on Youtube, he indulges into the Wahhabi indoctrinated rant against whom they brand as "grave worshippers" who seek the "intercession of the dead". They know very well that there are no Muslims who worship graves. What type of Da'awah (calling people towards the path of God) is this, where the Da'ee (the caller) resorts to misrepresenting the faith and beliefs of others because of political motives and rivalries? The graduates from the School of Ibn Taymiyyah and Ibn Abdul Wahhab have caused mayhem on international arena, with suicide bombings and indiscriminate killing of innocent men, women and children, including disabled and infants, all in the name of Jihad and Islam.
