Furious participants of the funeral procession, behind me, are demanding what they call their primary right of security from the state which they say has failed so far to deliver this right. The men who unsuccessfully tried to kill Zaidi in August finally accomplished their mission on Friday at Pakistan Chowk, a place near to the financial street of Pakistan, the II Chindrigar road.

If you are being useful and effective for Islam, the enemy will come after you - sooner or later! Many individuals feel threatened by the enemy and shy away from anything that involves Resistance. They simply spend their lives and depart this world without any footprint. There are others who realize that if their efforts for the sake of Islam are effective, they will be targeted by the enemy. Yet they continue to walk on the path of Ahl al-Bayt (A) fearlessly. They give every talent of theirs to the Islamic movement and await their martyrdom. These are the real Shias of Ahl al-Bayt (A). These are the true awaiters of Imam Mahdi (A). Dr. Rahimpour Azghadi highlights that if you do something effective, you will be targeted by them. So, be effective!! #SoftWar #IslamicResistance
