In one of the largest organized marches in the history of the world, tens of millions of Shia Muslims made an incredibly heartening statement, by risking their lives to travel through war-stricken areas to openly defy ISIS. This massive event that would have undoubtedly helped to ease tensions in the West was almost entirely ignored by corporate media.
Women, men, elderly, and children made their way to the city of Karbala on Sunday and Monday last week for the holy day of Arbaeen. Arbaeen is the event which marks the end of the 40-day mourning period following Ashura, the religious ritual that commemorates the death of the Prophet Mohammad’s grandson Imam Hussein in 680 AD.
As the Independent reports, massive crowds paid homage to the shrines of Imam Hussein and his half-brother Abbas in Karbala, where they were killed in a revolt against the Umayyad ruler Yazeed in the 7th century AD when they refused to pledge allegiance to Yazeed’s Umayyad caliphate.

They ignored Muslims after San Bernardino too, when they raised tons of money for the families of the victims.
So why didnt fox news cover it ?
Looks like a fake news site. If there are 20 million of them let them take up arms and wipe out ISIS.
No it is the crowd here thatignores muslims every day. You are the ones claiming they are all out to get us. Most of us already know and believe this.
680 AD (anno domini) meaning in the year of our Lord (Jesus Christ). Interesting.
