In a memorandum released on the anniversary of the destruction of Jannat al-Baqi cemetery in Madinah, Ayatollah Safi Golpaygani said that from the fourteenth century until today, the places of pilgrimage of Muslims have been the centres of awakening and the remembrance of the great personalities of Islam.
The basis for the destruction of Islamic monuments and buildings was a very deep and treacherous scheme drawn up by foreigners to obliterate the documents, concrete evidence and relics of the history of Islam. When the colonialists sought to divide and create sects in order to dominate over Islamic countries, for example, in Iran, Sayyed Ali-Mohammed Shirazi [called the “Bab”] and Mirza Husayn-Ali Nouri [called “Baha’ullah”] were provoked as claiming to be babs, mahdis and Prophets and also divinity. In India, Ghulam-Ahmad Qadiyani founded the so-called Ahmadiyyah mercenary sect. In the Arabian peninsula, Wahhabism was created as a tool and Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab was taken as a mercenary. Their most important objective, in addition to the plunder of the great reserves of oil, was to destroy the monuments of Islam and they even targeted the holy shrine of the Holy Prophet.
The eighth day of Shawwal, 1344 AH [April 21st, 1926] is the day when a devious group began its destruction of Jannat al-Baqi’ and destroyed the holy and illuminated shrines of the Ahl al-Bayt and destroyed the identity of the dear Islam. Therefore, it is imperative that all Muslims, including Shi’ahs, Sunnis and various denominations condemn their crimes on this day and all of them together must demand the rebuilding of these shrines and the revival of the brilliant history of Islam.
Shi’ahs, in order to remember these documents of history and the insults that have been inflicted against the Ahl al-Bayt in the Holy Shrine still continue, consider this day as a day of grief for the Ahl al-Bayt and a day of attacks against the history of Islam and hold mourning commemorations on this day and condemn the crimes perpetrated against Islam, the Qur'an, the personality of the Prophet and his Infallible Family and stressed that these crimes are unforgettable.

A sit-in was held in the Indian capital of New Delhi on Wednesday to call for rebuilding the holy shrines in Al-Baqi Cemetery in Medina that were destroyed by extremist Wahhabis a century ago.
The sit-in is held every year with permission from the Indian government.
A similar event was organized in Kargil, Jammu and Kashmir, on Tuesday.
The shrines of Imam Hassan, Imam Sajjad, Imam Baqir, and Imam Sadiq (عليه السلام) in Al-Baqi Cemetery were among those demolished at the order of King Ibn Saud on the 8th of Shawwal in the year 1344 AH (1925).
In the same year (1925), he also demolished the tombs of holy personalities at Jannat al-Mualla (Makkah) where the Holy Prophet Muhammad's ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) mother, wife, grandfather and other ancestors are buried.
The destruction of the sacred sites in Saudi Arabia by the Saudis continues even till today. The only reason for the destruction by the Wahabis is to erase history and defame Islam at any cost.
The demolitions have focused on mosques, burial sites, homes and historical sites that are associated with Prophet Muhammad ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)).
Picturing Islam in Kyrgyzstan
Crisis Group’s Publications Officer Julie David de Lossy, formerly a freelance photographer of Central Asia, travels to Kyrgyzstan to take a look through her camera lens at the context of our conflict-prevention work.
Returning to Kyrgyzstan after five years away, I found a country that still mixes open-eyed charm, bureaucratic frustrations and decaying Soviet-era infrastructures – all part of a slow, uncertain transition that its population wishes could go faster even if the ultimate destination remains obscure.
Taking pictures that tell a real story in post-Soviet states is always a challenge. Especially in Central Asia. I have to overcome the country’s big empty spaces, the absence of public information and a decades-old culture of suspicion. Then a door opens, I turn a corner, or a new friend helps. Suddenly I get my chance.

Lebanese House Speaker, Nabih Berri, on Wednesday stressed that what should be regretted is Lebanon’s failure to face Libya over the disappearance of Imam Moussa Sadr and his comrades, and not Libya’s absence from the Beirut’s Arab economic summit as expressed by Prime Minister-designate, Saad Hariri, earlier today.
Speaking at the Arab Private Sector Forum at Beirut’s Union of Arab Chambers today, Hariri expressed “deep regret for the absence of the Libyan delegation from this meeting.”
Responding to Hariri, Berri issued a statement saying: “The regret, all the regret, is not for the absence of the Libyan delegation, but for the absence of the Lebanese delegation in facing the major offense committed against Lebanon for more than 4 decades.”

Two Bahraini Shiite religious figures have reportedly been detained in connection with the annual Ashura commemorations.
Ahlul Bayt News Agency (ABNA): Two Bahraini Shiite religious figures have reportedly been detained in connection with the annual Ashura commemorations.
Mulla Kassim Zainuldin and Sheikh Mahmoud Al-Ojaimi were placed under arrest after being summoned for questioning along with two other Shiite clerics.
The Bahrain Center for Human Rights (BCHR) said in a Twitter post on Thursday that the four were questioned over their “religious discourse around Ashura”.
Last year’s Ashura commemorations saw over a dozen Shiite religious figures in Bahrain interrogated or detained.
Ashura is a major part of the Shiite religious calendar when communities around the globe mourn the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (عليه السلام).
