Re: The Persian Empire: Wherefrom Satan’s Horns Emerged

Today, the modern day Persian Shia venerate Abu Lulu, and they call him “Baba Shuja-e-din” which can be translated as “Honored Defender of Religion.” These Shia have a shrine erected for this murderer, located in the Iranian city of Kashan called the Abu Lulu Mausoleum wherein he is buried. The Shia travel from far distances to pray inside this shrine, and many of the Shia fast on the day that Umar was killed, and even pass out sweets. Feroz Abu Lulu is one of the venerated founding figures of Shia ideology; the same people who conspired to kill Umar were the ones who planted the seeds of the Shia movement

when persian nationislism overtook 12er shiaism then the public veneration of abu lulu as a national hero started … as safavids were fascists hiding under the guise of orthodox islam.So this part i agree that the persian nationalists who were amongst 12ers had a special hatred fro sayyidna umar under whose leadership the persian empire was destroyed.Thats why even now u will find this amongst the
secular iranians a veneration for abu lulu who killed the laeder of the arabs.And since the present 12er beliefs also blame sayydina umar from eveyhting that went wrong after Propehts death they also treat his killer as a hero

Tomb of Firuzan (Abu-lolo) in Kashan Destroyed - Archaeological and Cultural...

recently the islamic govt in iran has decided to close the tomb and ultimatetly to destroy it much to the dismay of the racist iranians

but rest of this post is a cock and bull story

Hurmuzan was murdered on mere suspicion and his murder was not supported by any of the major companions and this was LONG before the events of uthman’s reign and the alleged rise of ibn saba

The perceptive reader should keep in mind that before the fall of Persia, the Muslim Ummah was united under its Caliph and Dar al-Islam was expanding its borders. Right after the liberation of Iraq from Persian domination, the assassinations of Caliphs began.
The Muslims had indeed defeated the haughty and proud Persian Empire, but the Persians carefully planned their revenge. The Persian governor Harmuzan was pardoned by the Caliph, but he conspired against the Muslims to avenge his humiliating defeat. The conquered Persians plotted against the Muslims, and it was their conspiracy plans which no doubt the Prophet was referring to as “Satan’s horns”. It was from the ashes of the Persian Empire that the Shia sect was formed, a mix between Islam and Zoroastrianism as well as Persian nationalism

this is blatant anti-iraqi propoganda perpetuated by the syrian school esp ibn taymiyya
may i ask who were these alleged followers of ibn saba ? these are the same people who had shattered the might of the persian empire…these soldiers/farmers of iraq and egypt stood in open revolt against uthman that precipetated the fall of his regime.

so the revolt against uthman and subsequently ummayyads is a seperate issue from the rise of sectarian shiaism and its various subgroups
