Comment on Armenian Genocide: 97 Years of Global Denial by ali

ali — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 17:04:38 +0000

DO you have an un-biased source of information on the ottoman empire and how they treated the people in the countries they occupied. To be honest my information on the ottoman empir’s treatment of arabs comes from syrian nationals who were fighting for freedom from ottoman and french rule (resistance fighters), and they were tortured pretty badly. I would love to read more on this so I can correct any mistakes in my historical knowledge, especially their treatment of shia.
Thanks for the information on Karabakh and Azeri genocide. I will read and let you know my thoughts. Salam.

But Ottoman Empire never had something against arabs. Because they were muslims and they know very clear that Islam speread by arabs. Ottoman Empire had problems only with wahabis. I read about this and advice you too, brother.

And Ottoman empire had problmes with shia Safawid empire. But this was not arab – turk problems. This was 50% madhhab problem and 50% political problem. They both wanted to be the bigest and the mopst powerful. And this was their mistake. And the interesting fact is they both get help from different europe countries without thinking that the christian Europe never let them be the most powerful.

You sad that Armenian “genocide” is ignored. But brother, let me not to agree with you. Because armenains have a good lobby in europe and USA. And they help Armenain because they are christian and because Armenia is one of key countries to control Caucasus. That is why Azerbaijan can not get back its 20% land. In the end of XX century during 1988-1993 years Armenia occupied 20% land of Azerbaijan. And USA and Europe still keep silence. Why? We had 1 000 000 refugees.

Four UN Security Council Resolutions have been passed during the Nagorno-Karabakh war. These resolutions have not invoked Chapter VII of the United Nations Charter.

Dear Brother, I apologize if this post has hurt your feelings. I am no expert in either Armenian or Azeri history. I’m trying to cover something that has been completely ignored in the western media for a very long time. I never heard of the horrible Gharabakh massacre, therefore cannot comment on it. But nobody can deny turkish brutality towards arabs and armenians during the ottoman years. Only God knows how many hundreds of thousands or millions they’ve massacred.
Anyway, thanks for letting me know about the shia genocide in Azerbaijan. I will look further into it and inshallah will make a special post on my blog.
Salam
Ali

Dear Ali, what genocide are you speaking about? This is the false history, brother. You didn’t see the genocide. The genocide did armenians against shia azerbaijanis in Gharabakh in 1992 febryary 26. Wanna see genocide? Here please http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q00XtWumGI8

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-xpMrPoiaQ

And today 1 000 000 Azerbaijanis are without their homes and lands. 20% land of shia land – Azerbaijan is occupied by armenians.

These are 1% of fatcs. I don’t want to speak about 1918 31 march genocide. If you want you can read http://31mart.wordpress.com/category/english/

Comment on Revert Story – Hajj Muhammad Legenhausen by ali

Wa ‘alaykum al Salam brother
All spiritual paths lead to the Holy Household (as). As long as you keep your heart polished and clean from anything other than love and dhikr, you will arrive at your destination and reach the goal of your creation.
Keep hold of this love for Imam Khomeini (ra). But also read Allamah Tabatabai’s works. I just finished watching a 7 part documentary on his life (original in farsi, dubbed in arabic on Al Kawthar Tv and available on youtube, it’s called ‘Al Autaad’, the mountains).

Yes I am sometimes on shiachat. although, I no longer take part in discussions, only post anything I find that would be useful to others, and if I ever find the time again, upload some videos.

Glad you find this blog useful.

Salam wa Rahmatullah,

Not that I put myself on the same level as Hajj Muhammad (certainly I am below him in intellect and spiritual attainment), however I shared a very similar ‘journey of the mind’ from lapsed Muslim, to traditional Sunni Islam (Hanafi in fiqh, Ashari in aqidah, Naqshabandi in tariqah) to the School of Ahlul Bayt (Peace be upon Them). Although I would say that my greatest scholarly influence was and is Imam Khomeini (in addition to the individuals mentioned by Hajj Muhammad).

This is a wonderful blog btw (I’ve added it to my favourites). May Allah reward your efforts. Are you thecontentedself from ShiaChat? I post there under the name Hagop.

Comment on Sheikh Usama Al Attar Update by ali

ali — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 07:52:24 +0000

We are at the beginning of a new era of islamic awakening. People will not take any abuse from their oppressive governments. Yesterday the new crown prince of saudi arabia threatened with an ‘iron fist’ to crush any dissent during and after hajj. this is a direct threat to anybody who has any political awareness, and in turn will stand up to true Islam. they think they can silence all these millions with threats. They don’t understand (and never understood) that they can kill our bodies, but the truth will live on.

The more we are organised and prepared the harder it will be for them to cause harrassement.
