SHIITE AND ITS HATE OF TERROR

The great events in the history of Islam comprise the best reasons for the Shiite opposition to terror and the Shiites hate for it: firstly, the terror of Imam Ali (PBUH), the first leader of the Shiites and the true manifestation of justice in the world of creation. His terror took place at the hands of Abd al-Rahman ibn Muljam while He was engulfed in worship during prayer at the mosque. This terror is forever kept alive in the memory of Shiites and will always be a focus of hate and repulsion from terror and terrorism.

Secondly, in the course of the Karbala incident, when Moslem went to visit Hani ibn Urvah, one of Imam Hussein’s (PBUH) companions, the plan to murder Obeydullah ibn Ziyad was drawn up. If Obeydullah had been killed, all the schemes of the Bani Ummayeh would have been disintegrated, and Imam Hussein (PBUH) and His companions would not have been killed either. It can even be said that the terror of Obeydullah could have changed the course of history itself.

But just at the time of carrying out this plan, Moslem wanted no part of it, and recounted a tradition from the Prophet who said, “Faith in God ties up terror in chains” (Awali al-La’ali, 2:241), that is, belief in God will not allow Moslems to commit an act of terror. On this basis, if anyone helps the terrorists in the slightest manner, they have, in fact, committed treason against religion and humanity since terrorists do not recognize religion, humanity, and frontiers.
