Oh I see the perspective that you are coming from but we must understand that this is a global event and practices vary between culture to culture on how to outlet their grief. Also self flagellation practice varies so it depends but I think rather than focussing on people's personal practices...
This poem is an outlet to express our grief over losing a historical figure that made a valiant sacrifice in face of adversity and I do not find anything extreme about the poem.
Please elaborate because muharram procession and congregations tend to be peaceful to community around them and it...
Thanks and yes it is a peaceful event and I am surprised there wasnt a thread on this subject yet on a pakistani forum. I will post some pics since pictures tell a 1000 words as the saying goes
Pics from around the world....
My friends, I usually do not post religious content much but I decided to make a thread for the occasion since no one made one so far for some reason (exams). Also I posted this thread in members club as per forum policy on such content
Please feel free to share what this month means to you...
on the contrary I have only engaged with folks that i can have a respectable conversation with and exchange ideas with like @Akheilos and not folks like ding dong, who trashes my country with rhetoric of the 80s which i cant do anything about. People on the media often say that muslim around the...
@Akheilos
I have given you an explanation though the quoting went a little wrong so read the info below your quotes. Also i dont want to indulge in further blame game although canada's homegrown terror comes entirely from a certain sect however I am not going to play the sect card because the...
The problem is that we have conservative government running a very liberal country so there is only so much our government can do sadly. The conservatives barely were able to secure 40% of national votes despite abysmal performance by liberal and this some what saddens me. I wish that Canada...
The difference is that we made an open declaration when we participate in an operation and these folks do not represent a country but rather a political ideology so this is much different than anything before lets say 9/11. We have done peacekeeping in numerous regions across the world and this...
Canada-Pakistan Relations
Are you listening to what I have been saying, we did not participate in active operation unless they were UN mandated with exceptions being before the UN was even created. Why on earth would attack a faith that I happen to share with 1.2 billion people now if some...
There is a great list of operations that we have done in the past and most I am proud of like intervening in Bosnia to stop an ongoing genocide or participating in Operation foundation, Proteus, Metric or kobold respectively. You are again not answering my question and now I am asking it you...
There was no terror attack in Canada today?
Ottawa shooting: Cpl. Nathan Cirillo dies of wounds, gunman also shot dead - Politics - CBC News
Is this credible enough source for you or are you trying to sprinkle salt in our wounds?
I am sure india has also suffered from this terror phenomenon...
I asked you again when has Canada been involved in a global disturbance and if ding dong is your source then you are sadly mistaken if I may add. Canada did not participate in iraq however we did have a limited role in UN mandated mission in Afghanistan like most country's did in post 9/11...
More justifications indeed and pathetic ones at best!
Was Canada involved in UN mandated mission in afghanistan?
yes Canada served a limited role up to 2011 in afghanistan and has than been involved in humanitarian aid mission and in a non combat role. I have reported your post as it is in...
Talon, I am not a grade school kid and I can certainly read between the lines. I mean what is the point of asking me a question about Palestine in a discussion that has nothing to do with the issue unless you are trying to make a comparison and that is why i rationally said your justifying...
Iike I told you a while ago, I am not a globalist liberal and do not care what is going on in the other part of the world as it is not my business nor my country's however UN is welcome to join in and help where ever they can. I simply care about what the tragedy that unfolded in my country...
I am simply not understanding the point that you are trying to make because we also had a terror attack yesterday in quebec by a recent convert and follower of wahabi ideology. So this only reflects that anybody can be brainwashed to this dangerous ideology and youth especially from certain...

The story and broadcasting is live so you can follow through on the main cbc page and as well as the discussion Canadians and people from around the world are having in the comment sections below.
I mentioned you primarily to address a discusion we had earlier about repressive symbols like niqab and other self segregating symbols that attempt alienate a group of people from the larger body. We need to have a larger conversation around the world about the wahabi ideology(correlating...
I think you have raised a valid point and good one at that even though I tend to disagree with you on other matters. I can tell you from experience having interacted with numerous people on this website, there is a sense of subtle jelousy in their views towards the west and I think using faith...
