Shias protest against US and Israel
Various Shia organisations demonstrated against the United States and Israel on Friday. A protest rally was taken out from Krishan Nagar after Friday prayers to condemn US aggression in Najaf. After passing through various roads, the rally ended at Karbala Gamay Shah where the protestors burnt US and Israeli flags. The speakers said US forces were killing Iraqis and they had no regard for human rights. "Iraqis must be allowed to choose their representatives through free and fair elections," they said. They said the Najaf issue was solved because of the peaceful Shia ideology. "Shias will not allow US forces to desecrate holy places in Iraq," they said. The speakers said if the US forces could attack Hazrat Ali's shrine, they could also attack other holy paces. They asked Muslims to fight the anti-Muslim forces before they attack their holy places. They criticised the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) and Arab League for not doing anything to stop US aggression. Posted by: Fred 2004-09-04 |
