c-span: and what is saddam hussein? >> guest: saddam hussein is a sunni. and the sunnis have always been the political and economic elite of iraq, and it actually started with the ottomans because the ottomans being sunnis themselves and being concerned with the rival shi'a in iran, always put power in the hands of the sunnis in baghdad. and when independence came, that gets carried over to the british, who want to keep things stable and they want to keep the existing system operating. so they also gave all the prerogatives to the shi'a -- i mean, i'm sorry, to the sunni. c-span: now, what -- if i had a sunni sitting here with us and a -- and a shi'ite sitting here, could you tell the difference to looking at them? >> guest: probably not. if you had a cleric, two clerics, you could because the shi'a clerics dress differently than the sunni clerics. but as long as they're arabic-speaking, you know, that they are very much the same people because they all had their origins in the arabian peninsula. and the reason that you have sunnis and shi'a in iraq in the

yazid forces intercepted hussein caravan at karbala. despite being vastly outnumbered, hussein chose to camp on the banks of the euphrates river. negotiations failed as yazid's demands for hussein's submission were unwavering. deprived of water and supplies for days, hussein's camp injured immense hardship. on the 10th of muharram the battle commenced. hussein and his followers numbered around 72. faced a well-equipped army of over 30,000. the battle was brutal and one-sided. hussein's companions and family members, including his infant son, were killed in succession. hussein fought valiantly, but was eventually surrounded and murtered. the aftermath was equally tragic with the women and children of h's camp taken captive and paraded through cities. hussein's stand at karbala became powerful symbol of resistance against. oppression, inspiring generations and profoundly shaping shia islam's identity and rituals. his matterdom is commemorated annally during muharram, particularly on ashhura, through ming and reenactments, reinforcing the

only the the followers of imam hussein. thank you miss uh naziha saleh, we're getting live images uh from the ashura uh morning processions taking place in the lebanese capital uh beirot. miss salah, can you talk to us about the rituals uh uh and the what is taking place at these processions that we're seeing right now, the significance in their symbolism, 1400 years on. yes, when we see um the the demonstrations is going up and going more and more every year, we can see how it is this and this effort is working with with those people who they are working on continuing. the path of imam hussein, hizballah in lebanon uh, you had lot of hid a lot of effort to to let the others understand what is ashura, they didn't do uh, you hizbullah mean didn't do uh what they call it something, it hurts the others and let the others understand that it's a message against them because they have different sects, no, hizbullah works on unite, united, and he wanted to to all muslims to be united and even the christian to be with us united, so

despite their numerical inferiority, imam hussein and his. panians stood firm in principles, refusing to compromise their beliefs and choosing sacrifice their lives for the preservation of justice, truth and the legacy of the prophet.at islam muhammad, a religion researcher for over 20 years. history teaches us that imam hussein refused to submit to tyranny to demonstrate that we have the ability to resist tyranny and oppression with courage and dignity. he illustrated that we can oppose. passive authority regardless of the size of our or their forces, the crucial message is to not stay silent in the face of injustice and oppression. this is a significant lesson that can be learned from the events of carbala. this event marked by immense courage, unwavering faith and unparalleled sacrifice has become a testament to the injuring spirit of resistance against oppression and source of inspiration for muslims worldwide. in the words of the english novelist charles dickens, if hussein had fought to quench his worldly desires, then i do not understand why a sister, wife and children accompan

imam hussein had a black servant in karbala, when the enemy army surrounded imam hussein and his companions, he said to his blacks, you are free to leave, you should have been in times of joy, not at times of war, go and say yourself, it is, i do not want you to sack your life for my beliefs, meanwile, practice of providing free meals known as nazri has become a commendable tradition amongst various communities during muharram. these meals are primarily distributed amongst the underprivileged members of society, exemplifying the spirit of compassion and charitable giving. while some benevolent individuals prefer to outsource the preparation of these meals to restaurants or catering services, the act of coming together with relatives and neighbors to cook and distribute the nazi is considered laudable gesture, fostering a sens of community and strengthening social bonds. moreover, muharram is not merely a time for individual morning, but rather a period that encourages the unity and cohesion of the entire society. it serves an opportunity for people from diverse backgrounds to come together

and that we're saying that we are going. to be on the path of imam hussein, oh imam hussein, we are speace with you, we are going to be peaceful with them, whoever is an enemy to you, we're going to be an enemy to them, and that that allegiance, that cry out that allegions that we give on the day of arbin is very important, that's why millions of people flock um every year and the numbers are increasing every year, and alhamdulillah this is an alleg'. in in itself and an indirect allegiance as well, to say that we are also giving allegiance to our awaited savior imam. may allah hasten the reappearance of imamdi, which leads me perfectly to the final question is said, because i've been to the and i've you found very spiritual beneficial, but there are some who have argued that you have millions of people or... gatherd in one place, all on the same path in in a sense. um, but that they say that there is lot of human potential being wasted, people should who are coming for zala, they return back to their homes and that's pretty much it until see you next year. um, but she and they argu

nor did president bush expect hussein to say to saddam hussein to say yes. but they acknowledged to one another and their national security advisers talked to one another about this, that if saddam hussein actually did say, yes, if he did cooperate with the new resolution, if he did disclose and or relinquish his alleged weapons of mass destruction, then we would have to live with this regime. but we would never get to know this unless we unless he was threatened with force. whether he would agree or not was up to saddam hussein. and so he could have agreed. he could have been more forthcoming at an earlier moment. hans blix wants. it to be more and ultimately he couldn't give up what he didn't have. ultimately, he couldn't give up what he what he couldn't have. but he could have been much more forthcoming in terms of the bluff cooperation. well, yes. i mean, and that's one of the interesting aspects of this whole episode is that saddam hussein ultimately did not have at this moment in time for weapon the weapons of mass destruction, but almost everyone beli

she is the first witness to al hussein, the first one to stand up and to speak in remembrance of him, and now, of course, millions of people do that every year, but she was the first, and therefore in a sense, when we remember al-husein and when we speak of what he did, we are standing on the shoulders of... lady zenab who was the first witness to his martterdom and herself in many ways a marttered because she herself lost sons at the battle of karbala, but she herself was badly treated by the leadership of the time, both by the the governor of the time and by the calif of the time, badly treated by them, mocked by them, and yet she continued to stand and preach the the message of her brother, and so these people greatly interest me again because of my south african upbringing, watching people, standing for the truth and being willing to suffer for that, sometimes willing to lose their life for that. most people these days can hardly give up some small thing, some small bad habit, can you imagine if god asked us to give our lives, what a difficult sacrifice that would be. so my intere

a profound example of this proactive stance is imam hussein's battle at carbala. imam hussein stood against tyranny and injustice even at the cost of his life, illustrating the principle that believers should actively oppose evil and strive for righteousness, regardless of. the personal sacrifices involved, this event underscores the belief that making the world better place requires more than prayer, it necessitates courageous action and steadfastness in the face of oppression. we've seen from the sea of the prophet sallam that islam never came as religion of lie down at home, make the go to sleep and pray that things will be better. the prophet the sahabah and the sahabat to go out there, stand up what they believe in, be it with the word or with the prayer. there's a hadith from said if you can't change uh if you can't bring justice about with pen or with the words or like physical uh so it's all about something like this coming out so for those who think that you know you stay at home make don't get involved in protesting boycotting campaigning we need to do t

we are in a word that expresses imam al-hussein, that is, all the words stop at imam al-hussein, and you are tested and mixed with my soul, so that you can see whether the morality of husseiniyyah is salati. this new australian muslim was surprised how a man who was martyred about 1400 years ago could be alive like this and still have a palpable presence today. show a presence that makes millions of people gather for him. night that stayed with me, he said that imam hussain gave everything to allah, and allah has given all the hearts of humanity to imam hussain, and you can see that in this walk, because you will see people that are children, young children, to crippled and elderly, to every youth age that you can see possibly, is here representing their love, and they're just solely walking to imam. to be honest, it's the first time i've met you. it means the miracle of hussein ho al-hussain, who is the sum of all these nations, and all these people , sexes, and religions, even all of them are shafteh, openly , in the way of their diversity and love for god. i was surprised when i s

the victory of hussein, despite his minority, marvels me. meanwhile, the annual commemoration of imam hussain's murderdom in carbala, iraq holds great significance for millions of muslims worldwide. despite the swelter. temperatures, many iranian devotees, along with others from the rest of the world, have been converging upon the sacred side of the imam hussain's burial place, which is reveared as one of the most hollow destinations over in our life to... the un security council, well the chair of uh today's uh meeting is russia and the foreign minister lavar speaking. the independent international commission of inquary violations of international humanitarian law, approximately half of gaza's population consists of palestinians under the age of 18. this means that they were born and raised under total blockade, and in addition to the current escalation of violence, they have lived through other israeli. military operations such as the submarines and autumn cloud 2006, hot winter and cast lead of 2008 and 2009, the pillar of defense of 2012

recent decades debate has arisen amongst muslim thinkers and theologians. as to what the lessons of hussein's sacrifice should be in terms of the balance between the theological and political aspects of karbala, in particular the question around the relation between islam and politics. for centuries the state used its power to control and influence religion, but does religion have role to play in informing the actions and behavior of the state? is a more quietist approach to religion not the way that islam has survived thus far in certain hostile circumstances. we'll be asking these questions and more, but first we take a look at the different perspectives on the involvement of politics in religion. muslims hold diverse attitudes towards making the world better place, rooted in their understanding of divine will and their role in god's plan. some maintain that we must rely solely on god, the almighty, our primary role being to beseech him for aid, as all power lies with god. this perspective emphasizes living in humility and supplication, often resulting in a passive stance towards the world'

troops carried out predawn raids in saddam hussein's hometown. army says several suspects were arrested in tikrit. >> by september, jeff and i have gone beyond just determining the guilt or innocence of the prisoners that we brought in. i was trying to get information that would lead to an insurgent member, a current bad guy or a current regime official. >> did anybody think that saddam hussein was in tikrit at this time? >> nobody thought saddam was in tikrit, because we'd looked through the whole town. we'd gone on hundreds and thousands of raids. we'd been through all the houses, and he wasn't there. >> we kind of put finding saddam not so much on the back burner, but we literally got tired of chasing santa claus. and what i mean by that is you would always have reporting that saddam was here. saddam was there. so instead of looking for that santa claus, we started looking for what we knew to be facts. >> the current insurgency was what i saw killing our soldiers. and that, to me, like, we're going after the real bad guys. >> the u.s. calls th

imam hussein alaissalam." the imam of his time, but what happened that he turned into icon of being a blood thirsty person, it was his lack of insight, therefore we should engage in the clarification and exercise this jihad a daily basis so that... you see that this resistance and resilience by imam hussein and his companions particularly, you see even those who are not muslims or christians and zorastrians and and assyrians, they live in iran and they love imam hussain. uh, when we look these ceremonies that take place uh every year, what does this say about the transcending character of imam hussein? many people, for example, from other western countries, they do not understand the morner's grief for the marterium of imam hussein, as though these events have happened as recently as yesterday, not uh around a thousand years ago, how would you explain how fresh the sorrow and grief is? something from the bottom of your heart, it will affect the other person and will influence him, and see the people are acting in such a way as if the event has happened yesterday rather than 1400 years
