Shi’a Muslims gather around the Husayn mosque in Karbala, Iraq, after making a pilgrimage on foot during Arba'een, a 40-day period that commemorates the killing of Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, and 72 of his followers at the Battle of Karbala in the year 680 B.C. That battle is seen as a source of the ongoing battle between Sunni and Shi’a Islam. Credit: SFC Larry E. Johns, USA, via Wikimedia Commons.

UN tricks against Israel

Let us wish that the U.S. administration will find a way to stop paying, with its taxpayers’ money, for the Palestinian and Muslim propaganda of the Division for Palestinian Rights and the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People.
