📸 Scene of Azerbaijani Freedom Fighters being Hanged by the Russian Cossack Army in 1911 on Ashura Day
🔺 During Ashura in 1911, as the Russian forces were executing the brave freedom fighters of Tabriz, the sounds of drums and cymbals echoed through the alleyways. The people of Tabriz were mourning Imam Hussein (peace be upon him). Some were flogging themselves with chains, others beating their chests, and some even practicing self-flagellation with swords.
The Russian commander reportedly said, "I feared that the massive crowd of mourners for Hussein would join the brave Tabriz freedom fighters. If that had happened, what would have become of us?" Yet, the massive crowd of Shiite (secular) mourners only continued their lamentations and cries. They whipped, beat their chests, and self-flagellated, paying no attention to the execution of their nine courageous freedom fighters.
This is secular Islam, Islam devoid of politics, something that #EnglishShia fervently pursues, spending billions on it. Truly, in a gathering that lacks the concern for fighting against Israel and America, Ibn Ziyad beats his chest, Shimr sheds tears, and Yazid wails.
This is the result of lack of insight and secular mourning assemblies!
