Shah-e-Khorasan
Mashhad is one of my favorite cities. And it is so, because of this breathtaking and beautiful place. It is the largest Mosque by dimension and second largest in captivity. It has about eight courtyards (Sahn). The one I’m standing on is, “The Courtyard of Revolution aka Sahn-e-Inqalab”. It is the largest courtyard in the shrine.
The shrine is architectured beautifully in unique Persian style. It has many domes and minars but the golden dome is my favorite one.
I like this place not only because of its beauty but the feeling I get when I go there. I can’t find a word which can describe my true feelings, “Inner Peace and Comfort” would be the closest way to describe how I feel. So, going to Mashhad is both vacation and spiritual journey for me.
While at Mashhad I spend most of my time inside the shrine, as it is open 27/7 and is always packed with people both locals and pilgrims from different countries in the world. I never get bored, as it is so huge and there are so many places I can visit inside the shrine like the museum, library, seminaries, the cemetery, the Razavi University of Islamic Sciences, a dining hall for pilgrims, vast prayer halls, and other buildings. Just outside there is a Bazaar by the name of Bazaar-e-Raza. And this place never gets old. It surprises me every time I visit. I have been there about 6-7 times in my life so far, yet still I wanna go again.

Super Smart Picture!!
Isn’t it too much science in a single picture?
Shame on Kerry and BBC.
So,
Secretary of State John Kerry referenced this photograph when making his speech today, trying to drive home how awful the Syrian chemical attack was as he tried to convince US and allies why they should go to war. One problem. The picture isn’t even from Syria. It’s from Iraq in 2003. The photographer, Marco di Lauro, said he nearly “fell off his chair” when he saw it was being used to promote a war in Syria. It’s getting pretty disturbing to see how far the US Govt. officials are willing to go to drum up support for a war nobody wants. Seems like US has got some real issues with Peace.
And shame on BBC for posting this picture on their front page without confirming it.
John Kerry should be kicked out from his post as secretary of US and legal actions should be taken against BBC.
Marco Di Lauro posted this on his FB page.

“Somebody is using illegally one of my images for anti Syrian propaganda on the BBC web site front page
Today Sunday May 27 at 0700 am London time the attached image which I took in Al Mussayyib in Iraq on March 27, 2003 (see caption below) was front page on BBC web site illustrating the massacre that happen in Houla the Syrian town and the caption and the web site was stating that the images was showing the bodies of all the people that have been killed in the massacre and that the image was received by the BBC by an unknown activist. Somebody is using my images as a propaganda against the Syrian government to prove the massacre.
Al Musayyib, Iraq – May 27, 2003
An Iraqi child jumps over a line of hundreds of bodies, in a school where they have been transported from a mass grave, to be identified. They were discovered in the desert in the outskirts of Al Musayyib, 40 km south of Baghdad. It has been estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 Iraqis had been reported missing in the region south of Baghdad. People have been searching for days for identity cards or other clues among the skeletons to try to find the remains of brothers, fathers, mothers, sisters and even children who disappeared when Saddam’s government crushed a Shi’ite uprising following the 1991 Gulf War.

Obamas’ Arrogance!!
-As the UN investigative envoy leaves Syria,
-Obama said (in a Public speech) that US will attack Syria without permission from the security council.
-Russia urges the US to hand over proof of use of a Chemical attack proven to be carried by Syrian Govt.
-CHINA & RUSSIA vetoed against UN attack on Syria, so Nato will be out of the fight.
– UK’s parliament voted against the attack on #Syria, leaving the US and the Al-Qaeda alone in the fight.
If US attack on Syria, it will count as a terrorist attack because it is not authorized by the international world.
The world will be the witness that it won’t be Iran, Hizbollah or Syria who would start a WW over the chemical weapons which doesn’t exist.
Same People, Different Titles.
“Khawarijs” in the past and “Takfiri Wahhabis” today, same people with different titles.
Who are they?
They are the ones who entitle everyone, unlike them, as “Kafir” and claim themselves the purest of all. The utmost ignorants, problem creators, dividers, traitors, hypocrites etc etc.
These were/are the people who act without thinking. Far away and diverted from Islamic knowledge. They talk senseless and non-logical, which makes them nonnegotiable. They make their own laws according to their own wishes and mentality, and name it as”Islamic Shria”
They will not think before killing someone. They have always defamed Islam with their acts.
Today in 21st Century, These are those (inhuman+ignorant) species who does bomb-blasts on Public places, Masjids, Imam Barghas, or Churches etc.  Who does targeted killings of Shia and other minorities in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria etc. Those who burn down the houses of Christians in Pakistan. Those who want to create dispute between (Shia-Sunni).  Those who don’t allow women to drive or vote. Those who fear from a couple of drops of polio medicine. They have different names in different regions. For Instance: LeJ, TTP in Pakistan, Al-Qaeda in Iraq/Afghanistan. And now as Rebels against Assad in Syria.
They were and are hypocrites. They are  never on single side, they always switch sides for their own benefits. Even if it conflicts their faith or ideology, if they have one.
A present example of their hypocrisy. “They were enemies with US in Afghanistan and now an ally of US in Syria against Assad.”
And, These are the people whom Prophet (PBUH) hated and cursed.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 6.578 Narrated by Abu Said Al Khudri
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “There will appear some people among you whose prayer will make you look down upon yours, and whose fasting will make you look down upon yours, but they will recite the Qur’an which will not exceed their throats (they will not act on it) and they will go out of Islam as an arrow goes out through the game whereupon the archer would examine the arrowhead but see nothing, and look at the unfeathered arrow but see nothing, and look at the arrow feathers but see nothing, and finally he suspects to find something in the lower part of the arrow.”
Abdullah Ibn `Umar (R.A) considered the Khawarij and the heretics as the worst beings in creation, and he said: They went to verses which were revealed about the disbelievers and applied them to the Believers.
Today in Pakistan, these people are backed and funded by Saudi Arabia. There are thousands of their hate speech cells titled as Madrasa which are actively working in Pakistan and producing terrorists. They also enjoy full support from the Saudi puppet Govt. Their party participates in election. They kill and openly announce it over mainstream and social media. Their whereabouts are not a secret or mystery. But still they are free. They go jail sometimes but are either bailed out or they same how manage to escape, every time, even from a high security. Just take Usman Kurd for instance who managed to escape from Quetta cantt. Those of you who don’t know. Quetta cantt is a very highly secured spot. Nothing goes in or out without an inspection.  It is named as “Wahga Border 2″. Yet, still he managed to escape.
Our Govt. and armed forces are more than capable of crushing them, but if they want to, which doesn’t seem like that for now.
Yes, for quieting the people or their protests they arrest a few every now and then but  the problem remains unsolved. They only way to stop them is to stop their production. Govt. needs to inspect all the Madrasas operating in Pakistan, and immediately abandon the infected ones, just like Lal-Masjid. And a major targeted operation is required in a few hot spot districts around Pakistan. Like Mastung, Jhang, Parachinar and the Govt. knows where else.
