The
Islamic Republic of Iran is inciting Shia-Sunni Civil War in Iran
Reza

"Damn Omar, the Murderer of Fatema."
This was the slogan of the Shia revolutionary community in
Zahedan, the capital of Baluchistan on Saturday, 7 June 2008. They
marched in the style of grand elections. These marches were organised by
the Shia fanatics who were supported by the Iranian regime. The
demonstrators had written this slogan on many cars and cardboards and
they were shouting it as they were marching in Zahedan, the Sunni
dominated city of Baluchistan. The Shia fundamentalists have fabricated
the facts of history and alleged that Fatema, the daughter of Prophet
Muhammad, was murdered by Omar, the second Caliph.
The organizers of these demonstrations were
deliberately inciting conflict with the Sunni community of Iran.
They were prepared for any encounter and the security guards were
waiting for the people to react against these offensive slogans. The
demonstrators attacked several Sunni youth and businesses and provoked
them into retaliation. The Sunnis did not believe this first. The slogan
shocked them to the core. The demonstrators stopped the passersby’s cars
and painted them with this slogan.
Omar is the second caliph of Islam whose leadership
was conducive to the collapse of Persian Empire. This
matter was raised first after the rise of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
There is no any document to prove that Fatema was murdered by
anybody. All the historical facts show that she died
naturally and her husband, Ali, buried her somewhere privately and
nobody knows where he buried her. To create conflict
between Sunni and Shia in Iran and around the world,
the Islamic Republic of Iran advertised this matter
as an offensive propaganda to blame Omar for her death.
And amazingly, the fact is that it was Khatami the so called
reformist president of Iran that announced the day of her death as the
day of her martyrdom and made it a public holiday.
Even the most reactionary religious authorities of Iran had refused to
believe this fabricated event to prevent any further gap between the
Sunnis and the Shias.
The more shocking is that Mr Abtahi, a close
colleague of former President Khatami claimed in his blog that Fatema
was the only daughter of Prophet Muhammad. This is
another gross fabrication of history. Prophet
Muhammad had four daughters: Fatema, Zeinab, Roqqayyaa and Omkolsoom.
These demonstrations in Zahedan were the worst kind
of inciting the Sunni community into reaction.
Hundreds of young Baluch reacted immediately and encountered the
security backed demonstrators and demanded them to stop their anti-
Sunni demonstrations but the organizers who had the support of security
forces ignored the demand of the Sunni commune and continued their
marches with more enthusiasm and excitement. They
even increased their anti-Islamic slogans to generate violent reaction
from the Sunni community to give the security guards an excuse for a
complete clampdown and suppression of the Sunni Baluch in Zahedan.
As soon as the Baluch people found out that the demonstrators
increased their activities and shouted, "Damn Omar, damn Omar, the
Murderer of Fatema," more vigorously, they began
action. When the demonstrators encountered the
resistance of the Sunni community of Zahedan, the security forces
intervened but instead of stopping the demonstrators, they began
shooting at the Sunni Baluch people of Iran. Several
Sunni Baluch were killed and injured in the shootout.
Hundreds were arrested. The Sunni leaders of Zahedan
were called to intervene but the security guards continued to attack the
Baluch community and encouraged the demonstrators to continue their anti
Sunni marches and slogans. After controlling the
situation, the security forces began searching the homes of Sunnis in
many areas of Zahedan using the opportunity for harassing the innocent
people who have been the victims of discriminatory and aggressive
behaviors of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It was very clear from the beginning that the
Islamic Republic of Iran intended to provoke a Shia-Sunni conflict by
insulting Omar, the second Caiph. The Baluch and Sunni people of
Baluchistan showed wisdom and character and restrained to be pulled in
the trap of the Islamic regime. There are about 20
million Sunnis in Iran. They live all around Iran at
the border areas and they have their Sunni relatives in the neighboring
countries.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been engaged
systemically since the beginning of the revolution to incite a
Shia-Sunni Civil War in Iran but the logical wisdom and the common sense
of the Sunni leaders of Iran have prevented many occasions which were
rife for severe conflicts. Many Sunni mosques have
been destroyed and many have been closed. Many
Islamic scholars and religious Sunni leaders have been murdered in
serial killing episodes and many of them have been hanged and executed.
There are more than one million Sunnis in Tehran but they do not have
even one Mosque to perform their religious duties.
They have been barred from performing their Friday collective prayers in
public parks. Their religious principles are attacked
on a regular basis on television and media, conferences and public
illustrations.
There are some news that few ambassadors in Tehran
have officially protested against these kinds of behaviors of the regime
and called on the Islamic regime to stop sowing the seeds of religious
hatred and conflict. This just happened after a
conference in holy Macca in which different religions were invited and
called to help bring more understanding among different religions.
Hashmi Rafsanjani attended this conference on behalf of the Islamic
Republic of Iran. He fabricated a rosy picture and
pretended that there was a constructive and productive mutual
understanding and cooperation among Sunnis and Shias in Iran while the
Sunnis are being attacked, persecuted and hanged on a regular basis. 155
Sunni Baloch were arrested on the first day of last month, according to
Students News agency.(1) Two Sunni men were also
hanged in Zahedan in the next day on fabricated charges. (2)
The political activists of Baluchistan are hanged and executed
for different false charges. Six innocent Baluch were
killed on 8th of this month on Sunday. (3) These are the news which has
been somehow published by government. There have been
many other incidents that they were not published and confirmed by the
Iranian media.
The inactivity of the Sunni people and governments
of the world have encouraged the Islamic Republic of Iran to fabricate
new events and place them in history as facts and pave the
way for a destructive conflict and civil war among the Muslims.
The danger arises from the fact that the Shia people from
different parts of the world use Iranian media as a source of
inspiration and therefore, the regime's fabrications will lead them to
conflict with the Sunnis. Many Shia people of the
world have been misguided and misled by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Their further misleading will lead to civil wars among Sunnis and
Shias everywhere.
This is a warning to all Moslem people,
the Islamic Conference, all governments, all human rights
organisations, the United Nations and its affiliated organisations and
international community that the Iranian regime is in preparation stage
of launching a Shia-Sunni conflict in Iran which will have worldwide
consequences. Now it is time to stop the Islamic
Republic of Iran from creating a situation like Iraq where the Moslem
skills each other. The patients of the Sunnis of Iran
are running out.
