Qaseem Soleimani -Part-2

Dr. Mazhar Naqvi

Soleimani seemed to have sealed his fate in 2018 when for the first time he spoke what can be termed as an ‘emotional outburst.’ When Trump tweeted ““To Iranian President [Hassan] Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. WE ARE NO LONGER A COUNTRY THAT WILL STAND FOR YOUR DEMENTED WORDS OF VIOLENCE & DEATH. BE CAUTIOUS!”

Soleimani retorted in a speeh delivered in Hamdan, about 300 kms away from Capital City Tehraan and tore the tweet of trumpt.the world saw for the first time, Soleimani could yell, wage his fingers and could shun his image as a cool leader if anyone dared to threaten Iran. He said “  The U.S. president … made some idiotic comments on Twitter. It is beneath the dignity of the president of the great Islamic country of Iran to respond, so I will respond, as a soldier of our great nation. You threaten us with a measure that the world has not seen before. First of all, it has been over a year since Trump became U.S. president, but that man’s rhetoric is still that of a casino, of a bar. He talks to the world in the style of a bartender or a casino manager.”

Trump took it as his personal insult and cast a dragnet to eliminate Qaseem Soleimani. White House should look at how huge crowds wailed, beat their chest and heads to mourn the death of a man who was a terrorist in the eyes of the marketer of violence all over the world to sell arms and ammunitions and infamous for assassinating powerful and popular leaders of the third world with the help of CIA.

Can millions of mourners cry, clutch pictures of martyr general and pass his coffin over their heads for a terrorist.?  Certainly  not. Now his blood is speaking through his daughter who is warning US like her father. She said “US will face a "dark day" for the killing. Crazy Trump, don't think that everything is over with my father's martyrdom".

In sharp contrast, Trump is trying to repeat what Yazid and Pirates turned Royal family of Saudi Arabia did after capturing power. Trump has declared to demolish holy shrines and heritage sites like Saudis and Taliban. Who can forget how Saudis demolished shrine of Lady Fatima and attempted to cause damage to the blessed resting place of her father and Prophet. Likewise, world still remembers how Taliban exploded with dynamite the statues of Lord Buddha in Afghanistan, fully ignoring appeals made by many governments. Iran is a culturally rich nation with two dozen Unesco World Heritage sites.

It is surprising Trump is not listening to the voice of his own people.US citizens have been on the street for preventing the impending war. They turned up in thousands to demand withdrawal of American soldiers from the Middle East. Their gesture is amazing and deserve appreciation, for none of them uttered even a single word against Soleimani. Can there be a better certificate for unblemished record of slain commander? While leading funeral prayers, supreme leader was in tears .So was the case with other leaders. It was a rare sight with head of the nation unable to control his emotions. Millions of mourners also expressed solidarity and behaved as if a calamity has befallen.

The developments are indicating that martyred Soleimani would indeed prove dangerous as compared to a living entity. His memory will haunt Iranians, Iraqis, Lebanese, Palestinians, Nigeria, Iraq, Yemen and wherever  Hussainis are settled worldwide. It is rightly said “every day is Ashura, Every land is Karbala” as world keeps churning out Yazid who had scant regard for the principles of equity and justice. He was full of lust , drunkard, perverted and gambler. It is irony that like Yazid he is occupying the position of the most powerful man of the world with almost similar track record.US citizens should hang their heads in shame for a man who is purely example of the old saying “Power Corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Soleimani is yet another victim of power hungry politicians or rulers and his death is an irreparable loss to all those who firmly believe that only Hussaini philosophy is answer to all wordily problems.May his soul rest in peace and his martyrdom should become cause for the collapse of all tyrannical regimes.May his martyrdom make the world a better place for all its inhabitants.
