ISLAMABAD, Pakistan : “Youm-e-Ehtajaj” [Day of Protest] was observed on Saturday on the call of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi throughout the country against Austrian woman politician Susanne Winter’s blasphemy in respect of Prophet (SAWW) and Samarra Tragedy.

Marking the occasion, peaceful demonstrations were held in all the small and big cities and towns including twin cities of federal capital Islamabad and Rawalpindi, and voice of protest was raised during majalis and matmi (mourning) processions.

MO organized a peaceful protest rally in front of Press Club Camp Office Islamabad. Besides ulema-e-karam, MO central President Syed Wajihul Hasan Kazmi and other office bearers were leading the rally. The protestors were carrying banners and placards inscribed with slogans against insulting the Prophet (SAWW) and Samarra Tragedy.

Performing Seena-zani (chest beating in grief), the protestors lodged their protest against destruction of the holy shrines of Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hasan Askari (AS) in Samarra, and declared ongoing terrorism in Iraq and the heinous acts of desecration of holy sites a doing of satanic powers. They strongly demanded reconstruction of the holy Askariyain shrine.

On this occasion, Syed Wajihul Hasan Kazmi read open letter of Quaid-i-Millat-i-Jafariya Agha Syed Hamid Ali Shah Moosavi to UN Secretary-General and heads of other international organizations.

In the letter, he made clear that Islam, the preacher of peace and harmony, is based on justice. It not only condemns oppression and injustice rather expresses hatred for every kind of barbarism, aggression and prejudice; it does not give anyone right to impose his/her thoughts and ideologies on others but only to preach. Therefore Allah Almighty says: there is no compulsion in religion. Allah further says: We have guided him both right and wrong paths, now its on him whether adopts good path paying thanks or adopts path of evil doing unthankful ness. In Chapter Al-Kahaf, verse 29, He says: it’s up to him whether to believe or disbelieve. If the Creator of the Universe had to get Him recognized forcibly then there was no need to send His representatives. But He granted freedom to human being that it’s his discretion to adopt right or wrong path. That is why He said to the Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny): Your task is only to convey.

Had we followed commandments of Allah and sayings of holy Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny) then this day colonial chief would not have targeted us in pretext of 9/11 and declaring us radical and extremist, Zionists and Hindus would not dared to desecrate and flatten Al-Qods and Babri mosque. Would that we had not adopted extremist policy, would not had erased the holy shrines of holy personalities in the cemeteries of Al-Baqee and Al-Moalla which gave courage this day to the international terrorist and it flattened on the holy soil of prophets - Iraq - the holy shrines of Imamayn al-Askariyain Hazrat Imam Ali Naqi (peace be on him) and Hazrat Imam Hasan Askari (peace be on him) who are the most respected personalities in the sight of the world of Shariah.

Today, if the Islamic world is a target of Satanic and Iblisi forces and there is dissension and violence in every country then all it is doing of our. Kufr has stepped forward to this extent that it is using ever new tactics to down us, sometimes threatens to attack on Baitullah (Kaaba), while desecrating Prophet of Islam and Sha'a'ir Allah (signs of Allah) is order of the day, therefore, some days back according to Spiegel Online report, Susanne Winter, a right-wing woman politician with the Freedom Party of Austria, not only committed blasphemy against Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny) rather used "child molester" like unbecoming and ill-shaped words for the Prophet (peace be on him and his holy progeny). Since a UN General Assembly resolution and the Austrian Constitution prohibit insulting Islam, which is an officially recognized religion in Austria, also there exist 57 Islamic countries and an organization like OIC but they all are dead silent.

We strongly condemning it shake the conscience of the Islamic world that wake up it’s an open challenge for your honor, wake up otherwise there will be no story of your.

Protest is a fundamental right of not only everybody rather of every nation. Verse 148 of chapter Nissa of Holy Quran stands witness on it. It says that it is legal for the oppressed to narrate oppression of oppressor so that by doing so oppressor could be stopped from oppression and the oppressed could be encouraged.

Today on Muharram 23, 1429 hijri, two years have been passed that the holy shrines of al-Imamayn al-Askariyain were razed to ground. We demand UN, ICC, OIC and all human right organizations the world over not to delay reconstruction of these holy shrines.

Today is the eighth day of Ashra-e-Beemar-e-Karbala marking the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Imam Zainul Abideen (peace be on him). And he is that personality whose addresses shook the foundations of the bazaars of Kufa and Shaam and courts of Yazid and ibne Ziad and turned over covers of hypocrisy from the faces of oppressors making clear to the world of humanity that oppression whenever it increases is erased. And the final victory is of the oppressed and have-nots when the flag of justice will flutter over the whole world, and the face of oppression and barbarism will be went black.

Therefore the world of religion and shariah has one voice in reconstruction of these holy shrines while our strong and eternal protest is Azadari (mourning for Imam Hussain, peace be on him) which will be remained in continuation till reappearance of Mehdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance) against oppression and barbarism.

Later, the protestors dispersed peacefully.

In Rawalpindi, large number of people took to the streets to protest against Austrian woman politician Winter’s blasphemy in respect of Prophet (SAWW) and Samarra Tragedy. Mukhtar Students Organization (MSO) was the organizer. MSO central president Syed Baqir Hussain Naqvi and other leaders led the demonstration.

A resolution adopted on this occasion strongly demanded reconstruction of the razed holy Askariyain shrine in Samarra.
