“…their hearts are made of stone, or even harder. Those who see me & my people as subhuman don’t deserve all this care, attention or celebration. I now follow my people and those who are of me.” — words from a Palestinian film director that deeply resonated with me today.

The official number of visitors to Karbala during the 10 day period of ‘Arbaeen’ is 22,019,146, surpassing last year’s number of just under 21.2 million. All were provided food, water & shelter. It baffles me till this day how this annual event is completely ignored by the media.

I don't want to reduce #AyaHachem 's memory to a sectarian Twitter debacle. She is worth more than that - a beautiful soul stolen from us too early. However, the reaction of some Muslims to her being Shia is proof of a horrid, deep rooted Shiaphobia problem in many young Muslims.

I'll say it again: Anti-Shia sentiment leads to Shia Muslims being killed— to mothers losing children, children losing fathers and to broken, orphaned households. Those who fuel anti-Shia hatred are complicit in the systemic suffering of a historically marginalised community.

With respect, this is a complete erasure of the battle of Karbala, which the Prophet himself (SAW) wept over, meaning it is sunnah to recall and weep for it, at the very least. Unfortunately this erasure by many leading Sunni Muslim Imams & orgs can only be seen as intentional.

I will never understand why some Muslims respond to the praise of Imam Ali (pbuh) with "he was good but x, y, z were better", or, "why do you praise him?". To love and praise Imam Ali is sunnah. If that angers you then you have a deep hatred for him in your heart.
