		Remember Ashura, to humiliate the ruling group who call themselves the inheritors of the traditions of the Prophet, for the remembrance of it will prove that they are the inheritors of the killers and murderers of the Prophet's family.
		For many people in Bahrain, the Ashura processions are the form of protest that they are most familiar with, which is why we see its traits elsewhere.

	::: THE VIRTUES OF ALLAH’S SACRED MONTH OF MUHARRAM AND FASTING ON `ASHURA’ :::
		The obligation was transferred from the fast of `Ashura’ to the fast of Ramadan, and this one of the proofs in the field of Usool al-Fiqh that it is possible to abrogate a lighter duty in favour of a heavier duty.
		On this basis it may be said that there are varying degrees of fasting `Ashura’, the least of which is to fast only on the tenth and the best of which is to fast the ninth as well.
		But given that fasting on `Ashura’ is mustahabb rather than wajib, people are not commanded to look for the crescent of the new moon of Muharram as they are to do in the case of Ramadan and Shawwal.

	Al-Serat: Fast of 'Ashura
		Clearly, 'Ashura of Muharram in that year (or, for that matter, during the Prophet's whole life at Medina) had no significance whatsoever for the Jews.
		These traditions are of the same genre as those which say that it was on the 10th of Muharram that Noah's ark rested on Mount Arafat, the fire became cool and safe for Abraham, and Jesus ascended to the heaven.
		In the same category came the traditions exhorting the Muslims to treat 'Ashura as a festival of joy, and to store one's food-grain on this very day as it would increase one's sustenance and bring the blessings of Allah to the household.

	RG Veda's Ashura-oh (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Too bad we don't see much of this beautiful raven-haired man. Ashura-oh was the one who more or less set the entire story going, but he died before the start RG Veda story and so most of what we see of him are flashbacks and ghostly images.
		The Ashura clan served to balance the power of the Tentai, and so Ashura-oh was the He-ten, the un-emperor before Taishaku-ten rebelled against the Tentai and took both halves of power for himself.
		Ashura knew that his clan was doomed; little Ashura was genderless and thus, would not have any heirs, but Ashura-oh married Sashi (who later betrayed him and hopped into Tai's bed) and had the child anyways in hopes that the prophecy would not come true.

	The Fast of Ashura
		Ashura as mentioned in the tradition, is a day of merriment and decoration.
		The assertion of the Jews themselves about 'Ashura that it was the day on which God had delivered the Israelites from their enemies is enough to set at rest all doubts in this connection.
		In sum, the general consensus among Muslim theologians and religious scholars is that 'Ashura fell on the tenth day of the Arab month of Muharram in the second year of Migration and that it was later annulled by Ramadan.

	In the Footsteps of the Martyrs - A religious procession expresses more than historical frustrations. By Reza Aslan
		Because of their metahistorical nature, the Ashura festivities have been continually reshaped and reinterpreted according to time and place so that historical characters and events merge freely with contemporary ones.
		So, last year, when Iraq's Shiah once again flooded onto the arid plain of Karbala to observe Ashura, they held aloft pictures of their murdered or missing religious leaders and shouted angry slogans against the brutal dictator who, like the Caliph Yazid, was an icon of tyranny and oppression.
		With Iraq's Shiite leaders increasingly flexing their political muscles, and debates continuing throughout the country over the organization of the new government and the nature of the new constitution, people are beginning to worry about how the changing sentiments of the Shiah will effect the American occupation.

	Winds of Change.NET: Special Analysis: The Ashura Massacre (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Not surprisingly, the key architect of the Ashura Massacre in Iraq is widely seen as being none other than Abu Musab Zarqawi.
		As is now common knowledge, Zarqawi is believed to be writer of a letter sent to the al-Qaeda leadership requesting permission to engage in a sectarian campaign against Iraqi Shi'ites in hopes of starting a civil war that would spell the end of coalition efforts in the country.
		As I noted in my last special analysis, prior to the Ashura Massacre there were no indications that al-Qaeda or affiliated groups were actively targeting Iraqi Shi'ites, instead preferring to focus the majority of their efforts attacking coalition forces and Iraqi police or security forces loyal to the interim government.
