Is this stupid bravado or what? Perhaps Aqua Moula is GEBNA JANNARA and can prevent further tragedies. Sincerely hope so for the sake of the gullible flock. May Allah keep them safe and sound. Amen.
Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
Bihras would be better off under LTTE than under kothar. But heck! they will have both in Sri Lanka.

Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
so mbohra,tahir,ombharathi,jp...etc r u planning to go there (sri-lanka) and check out whats going on and then b-itch about it.
Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
No, are we are NOT stupid like the "Burhani Annual Groupies".
Remember the last time (2005/2006?) Aqua Moula had a bad fall and was quite sick, some of the Bohris vowed (Minnat) to go to Karbala - Iraq during the war, if he got relatively well.
Three Bohris, trying to fulfil their Minnats from London England got shot to death by the Sunni insurgents in Karbala and a Bohri lady from London, England got shot but fortunately survived.

My take:
The annual 10 day show of burhani circus which goes to the highest bidder.

so whats your path on it
Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
are you trying to say that the bohras who died in iraq would still be alive had they not gone to kerbala,all those who areborn are going to die one day and the time of death is written so it does matter where you are in iraq or in london they still would have died but they got sharaf of dying after doing ziyarat of imam hussein ,as for those who are crying about ltte who is asking you to go to colombo

Your assertions re. predestined datge of death etc. seems to be what a fanatic would argue about - more or less "blaming" God for everything! It is as ludicrous as follows:
1. When a person is being persecuted for murder, you as a defence lawyer would assert that the murder was predestined by God anywasy, so why waste time on the prosecution
2. It is forbidden and a cardinal sin to commit suicide. So if we accept your stupid argument about predestined death, then why did Allah forbid suicide?
3. A story of a cleric and his indomitable faith in God. An inspiration to us all!
There was a major flood. Maybe it was in New Orleans, maybe somewhere else, it doesn't matter. One victim was a stupid or naive priest like you who lived in an isolated house out in the country.
As his living room flooded, he spoke a short prayer and prudently moved from the ground floor to the second floor, whence after more rising water and more praying, he ascended to his attic. Not too long afterward, he was forced to sit on the roof. All around him the countryside was flooded and looked like a lake with some treetops emerging from the water at a distance. His prayers had become more frequent.
Not too long, and a fisherman happened by in a rowboat. "Would you like a lift," the kind man offered. "I can get us to dry land." But the priest declined: "God will save me, thank you anyway" and went back to his prayers.
Anon, the water rose high enough that the priest had to stand upright, up to his hips in the cold water. Shivering, he pumped out more prayers.
He heard a motor in the distance, and soon a Coast Guard rescue vessel approached. Men in uniforms with live preservers urged the priest to board and be rescued, but his faith was strong. Though unhappy with his predicament, he insisted that he would wait for divine salvation.
As the day dragged on, the water rose some more, until it was up to the good man's neck. Looking up to a new sound from above, he saw a police helicopter and, dangling from a rope ladder, a man with an outstretched hand. But so strong was his faith in the Lord that once again he refused to leave his precarious perch on the roof. At this point, he was praying incessantly for salvation from a wet demise.
Inevitably, inexorably, the water rose until the priest had to swim to stay above it. But the cold had tired him; soon he gasped his last breath of air, sank, and drowned.
When his eyes opened again, the priest was standing face to face with his boss and creator. Though he was in heaven, he could not help feeling disappointed. "My god, why have you forsaken me?"
My son, this flood kept me very busy. Yet I sent you a rowboat, a Coast Guard cruiser and a police helicopter. Why didn't you accept the opportunities I gave you?
Allah ony helps those who first help themselves. He or She has given you intellect, brain and a mind to use it for your own salvation and common good. Just pray to Him or Her to give you wisdom and judgement to use the above gifts at their own optimum and noble use - don't assign blame to Him or Her or attribute the deaths or misfortunes to Him or Her, being predestined or "written" by Him or Her when one was born.

In that case why not have ASHRA in KARBALA and have AQU MOULA and his CRONIES be there. if you die by bomb attack then that is what is destined.
On the second thought why donot you all go to IRAQ and fight against all those who are destroying SHIA places of worship,

Why this sudden change of venue???
I thought Karachi was the place for the Ashara??

Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
kabeer19922001:
You asked Why NOT in Karachi?
Perhaps it is unsafe there because of the Afghani Al Qaeda Talibans, who are Sunnis,coming over from Afghanistan. They look like the Bohris in their komi Libaasa STDs (Sayaa Topi and Dadhi) and the Americans/Pakistanis might mistake them for the insurgents and bomb the hell out of them - collateral damage!!
Whilst the Tamil Tigers do not at all look like the "Aamil Tigers." and so it would be relatively safe - in the estimation of the Kothari strategists.
But the real reason? OIL, sorry MOOLA or the highest bidder won. The bidding was so intense that this year the venue was not announced on the Eid-e-Gadir Day by Aqua Moula which normally happens every year.
Mombasa, Kenya was also on the short list as they have renovated and re-built built a fabulous Burhani Mahal there for Aqua Moula, overlooking the Indian Ocean and Moula has NOT officially opened it or lived there yet.

- who can meet as many friends that he has not met;
- who can go site seeing around colombo the most;
- who can get married first;
- who can matam the most;
- which Bhaisaheb can get someone's wife;

Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
Yes, Observer, have heard it all from people who have been to these muharram "MELA" I know quite o few, personally, both friends and relatives who have been to Surat, Houston, Colombo and not to mention Dubaï. For a lot of people this is a cheap all paid holiday.Free bording, lodging, and even sight seeing.
You go on to write, "which Bhaisaheb can get someone's wife;" I do not kow if this is true or not, but his type of comments without any first hand knowledge is going to question your creditibility.

Re: Moharrum 1428 - Columbo Sri Lanka
The story about "groupies" staying back as illegal immigrants in Houston can be vouched.
During one of the The Dubai Ashara Mela, again the flock members stayed over as illegals and the Dubai Jamaat (threatened with penalties by the UAE Govt) had to write to Bohri Jamats all over the world to do head counts of people who were issued with visas and who did not eturn etc.
During the same Hangama, some of the visiting Bohris were caught shop lifting and fined and deported. Some other greedy visitors stole furnishings from the hotels and the Dubai Jamat presumably had to reimburse for the loot.
