Our dead remain alive; immortal in the hearts. Death is noble in defiance of tyranny.

One day late but needed to be posted, this shows you the root of today's crimes, Ziad was a filth and he inherited these crimes from his predecessor, not Mu'awyiah even, before than, likes of Abū Bakr, 'Umar, 'Aisha, and those who ascribe lies to the Prophet, Abū Hurarah and Anas. If you read their history you will discover all these crimes and much more, for what Ziād did is a fraction of what they did. This was translated from book Taqeem al-Shī'ā: *** Fourth of the Month of Ramadan: Event On the year 53 AH, fourth of the Month of Ramadan, Ziad, son of his Father (as he is famously called) died in the City of Kufa (Tarikh Dimshq, V.19, P.204). He was known as Ziad b. Abih, Ziad b. Umahi, Ziad b. ‘Obeid, or Ziad b. Sumayah. Amongst these titles the first one is established as the most used during that time and even in the books of history and Abih, means his father and when someone’s father isn’t known (which is in this case) he is ascribed to son of ‘his Father’. He was also called by the name of Ziad b. Abi Sufyan since he followed Mu’awyiah and admitted to the adultery committed by his mother and called himself a brother of Mu’awyiah. His mother, Sumayah, who at first was a maid to the doctor known as al-Harith b. Kaldah. al-Harith b. Kaldah would instruct her to tend to the grasslands and sheep. Her filth and lustful self pushed her to perform many obscene actions whilst in the desert lands and al-Harith had no choice but to keep her away from him. Following, she accompanied a man by the name of ‘Obeid al-Ra’ah (the caretaker of the grasslands, gardens, sheep) al-Thaqafi. Her stay with ‘Obeid pushed her to become a well known prostitute in that area calling forth men by the use of the red flag (which was used as an indication for zinah (adultery) during that time). It is said that even ‘Obeid was disgusted and that the family of ‘Obeid felt like shame was brought upon the family.

Imagine fasting all day and you go out for some dessert only to be targeted by heartless terrorists. I'm sorry to those innocent Iraqi civilians, no buildings around the world are going to be lit up in remembrance of you. To them your blood is cheap, not worth mentioning.

Iraqis have grown far too accustomed to a life of terrorism and corruption.

Mr. Abadi tried to visit the site of the Karrada bombing a few hours after the attack, but he was pelted with stones and shoes and forced to flee. Many Iraqis were also bitter about a world whose solidarity and empathy are largely restricted and reserved for victims in the West, where terrorist attacks are framed as assaults on humanity and elicit immediate, collective grief. The death of Iraqi civilians at the hands of terrorists has been normalized. In May, a string of bombings killed more than 200 people. Dozens more have died in terrorist attacks in Baghdad since the Karrada bombing. According to the Mercer Quality of Living Survey, Baghdad is one of the world’s least-safe cities, alongside Damascus, Syria.

The site of the attack in Karrada, a shopping center, spontaneously became a space for public mourning. Baghdadis came to light candles and pray for the martyrs. There was mourning and expressions of solidarity all over the country; momentarily grief transcended sectarian divisions and tensions.

But within three days, the site was appropriated and occupied by the dominant sectarian parties and militias. They staged their own mourning ceremonies and flooded the facade of the burned building with banners. Angered by the hypocrisy and the political exploitation of the dead, the families of the martyrs held a news conference and released a statement. Their demands included removing all partisan banners from the site of the bombing, ending mourning rituals, rebuilding the site, and compensating the martyrs’ families.

“We are all corpses, waiting to die,” said one man standing at the site the day after the attack.
