Sectarian Violence is Predicted on this Hajj by American Muslims
Most of the American Muslim through social media and other networks are vowing prediction of sectarian violence on this Hajj (Pilgrimage) in Saudi Arabia.
This Hajj in Saudi Arabia is coming when voidance not only in Iraq and Syria, but all over the Middle East including Asian Muslim countries like Pakistan could be observed by a naked eye. The American Muslim are seeing and feeling all this situation very deeply as 1400 people from America are expected to attend the Hajj this year, 2014, know very well that some group hate Americans also deeply.
The prediction is also based on the fact that a group of Americans were attacked last year by individuals shouting religiously charged slurs and violent threats, including “our Hajj will be complete once we have killed you, ripped out your hearts and eaten them, and [then] raped your women.” Referencing a brutal episode in history, where the prophet’s family was slaughtered in a land called Karbala, the male attackers also shouted “We’re going to do Karbala all over again”.
However, how true the aforementioned statement are cannot be said for sure, but the issue could be said for sure is, the Islamic State which is known as ISIS as its previous name, can do anything. In short, the organization cell ISIS, or the Islamic State according to some analysts, who has claimed to established Caliphate in joint areas of Iraq and Syria they’ve controlled, expected to try to gain something from the event of Hajj this year.
Director of Muslim Advocates charities program, Mohamed Sabur said, “It is critical that our government protects all citizens and supports them when their rights are violated — both here and abroad,” he further added, “We are asking Secretary Kerry to use his diplomatic relationship with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to protect American citizens, and to ensure that if Americans are in jeopardy, they can rely on the U.S. Embassy for immediate assistance.”
