Iraqi Citizens Flock into Kerbala Complying with Jihad

In compliance with the recent ruling of the Islamic Supreme Religious Authority, His Eminence, Grand Ayatullah Ali Es-Seestany, which calls for a national stance against the militant group ISIS, a tremendous number of Iraqi citizens flocked into the city of Kerbala, to assist the Iraqi army in defeating the terrorists. The Iraqi citizens pledged allegiance to Imam Hussein and El-Abbas (Peace Be Upon Them) to defend Iraq and its holy shrines. They stated they were unafraid and encouraged the government to allow them to enlist as soon as possible. By: Ibrahim El-OwainyTranslated by: Mohammed Jasim
