(a) “Khatam Bukhari” (End of Bukhari) – the death anniversary of the noted Sunni scholar - which is commemorated in some cities of Iran was never done earlier. Why now?
(b) ‘Farewell intercourse’ & ‘Nikah of Jihad’ was not there among the Salafis. Why is this ritual and Ahkam practiced now?
(c) Destruction of Islamic cities and their revered structures – by so called Muslim nations - and their bonhomie with the Jews and giving protection to the Jews in their own country – was something never seen in the past. Why now? What has changed?
(d) If we go through the books of traditions and (shia) history it will be evident that in every era, the Shias and followers of Ahle Bait (a.s) have always remembered and commemorated the event of Saqifah, the usurpation of the irrefutable right of H. Ali (a.s), the barbaric attack and the burning of the door of J. Zahra (s.a) and her being whipped ruthlessly by the second caliph and his cronies. It was never forgotten or ignored. If in the past such Azadari was visibly missing, then it was due to the impediments and opposition of the prevailing rulers and the supporters of Bani Umayyah and Marwan bin Hakam
