Imam Hossein (as), the second son of Imam Ali (as) and his wife, the prophet Muhammad's (pbuh) daughter Fatemeh Zahra (sa) is known as the saarallah (the blood of Allah). His martyrdom at the hands of the people of Kufa, near Karbala in Iraq in 680 AD marks the most significant event in the Shi'a calendar. The life and martyrdom of Imam Hossein (as) had impacts on the Mulsim world and in particular on Iranians who have special affection for the Imam. Look how the Iranian Marxist activist and poet, Khosrow Golsorkhi, starts his defence in the military court in 1971, by his great praise for Imam Hossein (as) and his campagin against injustice. Rumi (Molavi) remembers them in his poetry:
کجایید ای شهیدان خدایی
بلاجویان دشت کربلایی
کجایید ای سبک روحان عاشق
پرندهتر ز مرغان هوایی
کجایید ای شهان آسمانی
بدانسته فلک را درگشایی
کجایید ای ز جان و جا رهیده
کسی مر عقل را گوید کجایی
کجایید ای در زندان شکسته
بداده وام داران را رهایی
کجایید ای در مخزن گشاده
کجایید ای نوای بینوایی
درین بحرید کین عالم کف اوست
زمانی بیش دارید آشنایی
کف دریاست صورت های عالم
زکف بگذر اگر اهل صفایی
دلم کف کرد زن نقش سخن شد
بهل نقش و به دل رو گر زمانی
برآی ای شمس تبریزی ز مشرق
که اصل اصل هر ضیایی
Iranians great respect and affection for Imam Hossein has its roots in Imam's first wife, Princess Shahr Banu, the younger daughter of Yazdegerd the 3rd who was chosen as a suitable wife for his hounger son by Imam Ali (as). The eminent Harvard professor and researcher Dr Ahmad Mahdavi-Damghani has done extensive research on this topic and has proven that Shahr Banu was indeed Imam Hossein's wife and therefore all the other nine Imams of the Shi'a sect had Iranian blood in their veins and their ancestry can be traced back to the kings of the Sassanid era and the kiani traditions.
Dr Mahadavi-Damghani has been a proferssor of Islamic sufism and Arabic lterature at Harvard School of Divinity and university of Pennsylvania since 1987 (see the vdieo).
Iranians have mourned the tragedy of Karbala in the most emotional ways even by the leaders of the Sialmic regime who have betrayed all Imam Hossein's (as) Ideals and principles:
Imam Hossin in Karbala (recreation):
This is the most famous prayer for Ashura:

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:11 AM PSTI have no intention of saving face with you. I do not buy into your position and your beliefs. Go read my post again. I repeat that Shia is a pile of BS and no way around it. As other versions of Islam and other religions got it now!
Too little too late to save your face brothers
by salman farsi on Mon Nov 28, 2011 10:04 AM PSTBrothers Gilani, VPK and other fake demcoracy supporters
Your bigoted anti-democratic and often vile outrageous comments are all over this site and are matters of public record. Even if you try to delete them it is too late. For years you have used your fake names and avatars to attack religions and specifically Islam and at the same time pretended to support democracy and freedom. You call yourself secular while you fail to respect the right of other religions to exercise their right to exist. You think you are clever to have exposed an IRI agent! I am using the name and avatar that I am using to save myself and my famliy not only from the IRI criminals but also from you fraudsters. Brother VPK you don't need fake politeness for the sake of being accepted as a democracy supporter if that is what you pretend to be. You have already exposed yourself by admitting that you are being fakely polite. So don't torture yourself brother and say what you want to say. No one is going to hold you to account except God. And Borther Gilani I am not trying to portray people as mindless Islam bashing fascists. They have done the job themselves better than I could even dream of brother, So I claim no credit for that. In an Islamic demcoracy there is a place for all faiths and religions be it Baha'i Babi Wahabi, Zionists etc. What is unacceptable is denying who you are. I thought taghihe was banned in Baha'i faith but you seem to have re-introducted it brother.

Realism
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Nov 28, 2011 09:08 AM PSTWhy are we bashing or rather debating Islam; and what is our goal. My goal is to show people it is myth and Iranians are better off without it. This is best achieved by keeping a level head and not screaming "I want to ... you".
Face it a great many Iranians are on the fence. They got relatives who are Muslims. Their ancestors were Muslims. They don't want them dragged in s***. If you do that you will alienate them. On the other hand if you show the evils Islam did to Iran you will win them over. I want to win them over. Another person may just want to vent. If that is the goal then fine. But that is not my goal. As I said I want Islam out of Iranian people's minds. Not to *** and make myself feel better. It is not about me but other people.
Therefore I agree with RG. If we go all out attacking we get less success than if we stick to reason. Because it would sound as crazy as the Islamists themselves.
Islam is to democracy what...
by Fesenjoon2 on Mon Nov 28, 2011 08:59 AM PSTIslam is to democracy what Glioblastoma tumor is to the head. It ultimately destoys the brain and kills the host.
They are antagonist principles. One undermines the other. But if dealt with too late, the tumor always wins.
Congratulation Salman
by عموجان on Mon Nov 28, 2011 08:47 AM PSTYou just learned an important lesson about Democracy
Here everybody just use WORDS to say what is in their mind including you and nobody gone to jail, beat up or raped and we are all fine, but you do the same thing not only in Islamic Republic but any Muslim country you are done, they go after your body to stop your mind.

I don’t need God of Hossein (ASS) mercy, I am shooting for hell and looking forward to it, there is more fun with seven whores than seven virgins.
People like me have every right to bash Islam since Islam Destroyed mine and many other lives for past 33 years.
What is that old saying, If the kitchen's too hot for you, get out of the kitchen.
RG is right
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Nov 28, 2011 08:44 AM PSTBut this is why I try to be relatively polite. No insults or swear word; just facts like Imams did all except the last one end up being murdered.
However I agree statements about "kill Muslims" are just want they want.
Islam bashing? definitely!
by Fesenjoon2 on Mon Nov 28, 2011 08:42 AM PSTI'd rather bash Islam than have my head bashed by a bunch of reeshoo guys shouting Ya Hoseeeeein!!
Islam is a cancer. It is a mental illness that turns people into Jihadist animals.
guys, go easy on islam bashing stuff...
by Roozbeh_Gilani on Mon Nov 28, 2011 08:15 AM PSTIslam bashing is exactly what this fraud, the sneaky brother/sister salman wants you to do. he/she has been given a task: to provoke & portray the opponents of the islamist regime on this site as a bunch of mindless islamophobes, and at the same time push the sick agenda of ahmadinezhad/Hojjatieh society. He is for obvious reasons too shy and frightened to admit his real agenda and takes extreme exception to those who expose him for what he realy is, by labeling them with typical labels that islamist regime attaches to it's opponments:
Bahai, Wahabi, neo con, zionist..........

VPK, actually all the new belivers who participated in the islamic jihad gained a lot from islam. This whole 'jihad' acted as a sort of a gurantee for social mobility, since when you conquered a land in your 'jihad' it basically all belonged to you, the conquerer. Yesterday's nobodies became overnight onwers of great lands.

Did Islam help
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Mon Nov 28, 2011 03:54 AM PSTHow many of the Muslim leaders were better off without Islam.
Don't even mention the women who became sex slaves.
The only one who really benefited from Islam was Mohammad.
Oh my god how I did I miss this great discussion
by عموجان on Sun Nov 27, 2011 10:05 PM PSTWhen it is about one of the dumbest Imam among 11 & ½ Imams.
Well, Hossein to me is like Khamenei today, lot of hot air but not much of substance. He knew if he walk away from that battle he will be kill later in private and nobody will care (since Muslims don’t like to see opposition alive) and he wanted to become famous so bad he stayed to fight with few of his dumb friends and they got what they deserved, their asses (I mean heads) Handed to them. How I use to think Islam was worth to believe in because it was in my heart but since I start to feeling it up my ass, thanks to Islamic republic I knew it then Islam is nothing bout a joke for few to fool masses of illiterate for profits.
As an Iranian just thought you need to know my feeling about the dumbest Imam. Did I mention Ashora was best time for me to meet girls and get their numbers, that's the only thing I miss about Ashora.
Salman, I did not get a reply to my previous post

Old Post:
by JavoonDeerooz on Sat Nov 26, 2011 10:33 PM PST
Before getting too sentimental about Ashura, one should study the legitamacy of Shia. There is no mention of 12 Imams in Quoran or any hadith from Muhammad prior to the single and questionable appointment of Ghadir-e-Khom. How can Qoran neglect to mention the important question that left unresloved has lead to many wars and millions of deaths and weakening of Islamic unity. We have verses in Qoran that advise Muhammad's wife not to get jealous if he is sleeping more times with some of them than others. We have verses advising Muslims not to drop by Muhammad's house unannounced. And yet , god almighty chose to leave the most importany question of succesion unadressed so millions be killed in interfighting and billions of damage. As lawyers would say, He knew , or should have known the consequences of leaving the issue up in the air. Alo, it has left 95% of muslims to end up in hell because they cannot decide whether Shia claims are right.

Cut & Paste??? Closing Remarks!
by Tavana on Sun Nov 27, 2011 04:47 PM PST"Is it not to GOD alone that all sincere faith is due? And yet, they take for their protectors aught beside Him [are wont to say], We worship them for other reason that bring us nearer to GOD.................." (Ghoron 39:3)"
When this commentator was memorizing the whole book of Ghoron in IRAN, there was no 'cut & paste' tech like nowadays. All there was nothing except 'learn & memorize!' The purpose of these remarks here & other comments on IC always have been to share those learnings & not ever getting into debates of any sort with anybody.
As for dead/alive like Khomeini who allowed himself to add 'Islamic' term to everything he wishesd, and to the blogger here who also adds 'Islamic' to 'Democracy' & etc. & who calls Imam Hosein the blood of GOD, well, let their cases rests with GOD alone, and in time He will make them understand what they were doing.
As for the closing remarks:
Let's all learn from the sacrifices made by Imam Hosein & other Martyrs with their lives for standing up with truths & never ever mourn over their deaths as they never ever actually died & will live forever in GOD's presence!

NO Arabic on this site Please. This is Iran.com NOT arab
by Siavash300 on Sun Nov 27, 2011 01:17 PM PSTI humbly ask not to write any arabic words on this site. Especially the word "Allah" which brought misery and destrution to our country for last 32 years. The word should be deleted from Iranian dictionary. For the creator of this universe, we have beautiful word. It is PARVARDEGAR.
This is Iran.com, NOT arab.com. Given the fact that Khalid ibn Walid and Sad ibn Vagas did to Iranians, their crimes against our people is unforgiven. From the battle of Ghadeseyeh to the battle of Saddam Hossain against our people, we continue to hate these arab bastards. So please no arabic on this site.
Without Omar as a General commander and without Khadigeh's wealth the idea of lizard eater arabs wouldn't go beyond Arabian Peninsula.
Iranians never foget their defeat from lizard eater arabs, nor did their forgive Omar. As a result, Iranians celebrate killing Omar each year on specific day. That day is : Eid-e- Omar koshan. In that day, Iranians make a dummy from Omar and burn it in effigy.
They chant: Omar Omaro hoo hoo. Sag pedaroo Hoo Hoo. Omar nagoo Bala Begoo. Sang e dare Khala Begoo. (Khala means : Toilet).
This is called "nationalism" and love for our mother land Iran.
Payandeh our Aryan Land Iran.

For Real??
Question: IF Islam is all that complicated, how could that had been revealed to an illiterate bodouin Arab???????
"But [nay,] they take to worshipping deities other than GOD, [hoping] to be succoured [by them, and not knowing that]; they are unable to succor their devotees, even though to them they may [appear to] be hosts [for succor]. However, be not grieved by the saying of those [who deny the truth]: verily, We know all that keep secret as well as all that they bring into open.(Ghoron, 36:74-76)"

Brother Salman! --2
by Fesenjoon2 on Sun Nov 27, 2011 12:02 PM PSTHey brother,
Can you explain to us why is it that Hosayn's brother had so many wives and mistresses that he would qualify to be a Mormon priest? (9 wives alone by this count:)
//www.al-shia.org/html/far/3shia/shobahat/aqaed/04-emmat/183.htm
Could it be that Husayn's brother was a sex addict?
That doesnt flow well with Kiaani principles.

by BacheShirazi on Sun Nov 27, 2011 11:20 AM PSTIranians where majority Sunni before the Safavid dynasty. The transition from Sunni to Shia is well documented. You ignore all facts except those that convenient to your views.For some reason you are obviously extremly desperate to make Shia Islam Iranian.From your attempt to portray the Imams as Persians, to claiming that because Reza happened to die while in Iran that means we should all love him .Are you telling me the whole Safavid conversion of Iran from majority Sunni to majority Shia is a big lie?
Regardless of Ferdowsi being Shia, it really doesn't matter. He obviously cared more about Iranian culture than Arabic myths. Ferdowsi was one man. The majority of Iranians where Sunni.
8th Imam of Shiayan and his family would not have felt safe enough to immigrate to Iran.
Sorry, but this doesn't qualify as proof for the majority of Iranians being Shia even before the Safavids. At that period in Iran's history most Iranians where still Zoroastrain.
