By: Sultan Ahmed

KUWAIT CITY: The Kuwaiti Al-Watan daily attacked Shair Al-Husseiniyah (Husseini Rites..Majlis-e-Aza, Matam, processions) and Grand Maraje accusing them for using religion to take control in Iraq.

An article published on Saturday, while targeting Shair Al-Husseiniyah, mass marches, which start annually to commemorate the martyrdom of Hazrat Imam Hussein bin Ali ibne Abitalib (A.S.), religious ritual, said that Shiites are defaming the religious beliefs and this all is strange psychological torture exercise.

Grand Maraje are using religion and these ceremonies to achieve political interests and purposes to strengthen their influence within the community, the paper said.
