Commemorating the Martyrdom of Imam Ali – Houston Texas

by Abesha Bunna Bet on November 18, 2009

What?  Currently being circulated via email.  “Today I went to the Harwin Central Mall to pick up some crystals.  The very first store that you come to when you walk from the lobby of the building into the shopping area had this sign posted on their door.”
“I couldn’t stay in the building it made me so sick.  Feel free to share this with others.”

“Imam Ali flew one of the planes into the twin towers in NY on 9/11….”

1) None of the Twin Tower hijackers name was Ali.

2) Imam Ali was the son in law of Prophet Muhammad who was killed while praying in the mosque at Kufa (Iraq).

3) This even took place on 21st of Islamic month of Ramadam in 661 A.D. Since Islamic calendar follow luner movement every year the days keep moving back 10 days as apposed to Gregorian calander that is fixed. It happens so that in 2009, the 21st of Ramadan happens of fall on the 11th of September.

4) NOTHING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the Twin Tower Terrorists attacks.’

5) Shia muslims observe this day every year.

One more thing, the martydom of Imam Ali took place 1400 + years ago in Kufa (Iraq), when half of the countries that exist today including America didnt even exist. Heck Iraq itself didnot exist as country as its today back then.

Let me clear it again, the above mentioned event of martydom of Imam Ali (KAW) took place ONE THOUSAND FOURTEEN HUNDRED PLUS YEARS AGO that the owner of the store is mentioning on his door.

Hope that clarifies it a bit more.

Ali’s death was not on September 11th, according to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ali

Care to elaborate now Fawad?

Obviously Anonymous the First did not read the entire post. See first comment, point #3: “in 2009, the 21st of Ramadan happens of fall on the 11th of September.”

Dan and Anonymous one are obviously to enraged to use their minds and it is not fair of you to ask them to. I am not a muslim, but I can read and they obviously can’t (which is forgivable) or won’t (which is not forgivable and the punishment is everlasting ignorance).

Here’s the link to the calendar so you can see how the Islamic Calendar works. It’s all based on moon sighting, something which is very hard to explain to a non-Muslim. Oh and don’t hate on other ppl’s religion just because it’s not a part of yours or because you don’t understand how it works. Learn to respect it the way Muslims respect all your holidays throughout the year.

Sorry this is the September 2009 calendar that shows September 11, 2009 was 21st Ramadhan according to the Shia Islamic Calendar which was the day Imam Ali (AS) peace be upon him was killed. I looked up the November calendar earlier because your article was posted on November 18, 2009 which threw me off.

Cowards are people who spout off without checking facts. Dan above spouted off without checking facts. Therefore, Dan is a coward.

So, you’re saying we should really watch out for this Ali dude. Not only is he martyred 1400 years ago, he flies planes in the 21st? Now, what I need to know, is when fighting someone like this do zombie rules apply? This is some scary stuff.
