Today marks the 10th of Muharram, or Ashura, a day Shia Muslims mourn the martyrdom of Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad.
Yet, in Malaysia, it is all the more appalling that authorities in Johor and Selangor have chosen to raid private Muslim Shia events in the days leading up to Ashura. In another raid, eight people were arrested at a private function in Kempas, Johor. In both events, Shia Muslims were gathering to mark the occasion of Ashura.
The authors of the Amman Message would morally disagree with how Shias are being treated in Malaysia. In no ambiguous terms, the Amman Message states three points: A Facebook page called “Movement To Eliminate Shia” shared a message egging on its supporters to make bomb threats and bomb the venue.
