Why Do Iranians Burn Obelisks?

Why Do Iranians Burn Obelisks?In February 2011, young Iranians astounded the world by a move that no one had even
thought about in the entire world.
On the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on the 10nd of February 2011, an obelisk was burnt as a symbol of Satan.
This
great move in the recent years was followed by a larger reflection and
made the Iranian youth a symbol for the whole wide world.
But what was the Cause of this Move and why is Iran its Origin?
To
answer this question, one should examine what obelisk represents among
Muslims, because Iran is an Islamic country and Islam leads the
direction of its movement.
Ramy al-Jamarat – Stoning of the Devil The
answer lies within an event that took place many years ago, when
Prophet Abraham (AS) was ordered by Allah to sacrifice his son Ishmael
(according to the Holy Bible, the sacrifice was Isaac). Abraham (AS)
trusted God and walked towards the altar with his son. This was a test
for them so that a bright future would be given to them as a reward.
Therefore, Satan was terrified of the Divine gift of God and tried to
prevent them from executing God‟s Will; Satan appeared three times in
three different locations in front of Abraham, to defeat him using his
weakness as a father. But the prophet, who had a firm faith in God's
Will and no word but that of God‟s had an effect on him, each time,
threw seven pebbles (jamarat) at Satan (this act is called ramy
al-jamarat) and took refuge in God. Thus, he successfully passed the
test from God and God gave Ishmael back to him and gave him the Imamate
reward by blessing him with "Ishmael", and told him “I will give you a
holy generation1 through Ishmael so that my rules would be executed on
earth by them.”
Genesis chapter 17 verse 21: And as for
Ishmael, I have heard thee; behold, I have blessed him, and will make
him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly; twelve princes shall he
beget, and I will make him a great nation.
This
action is called Ramy al-Jamarat and each year is implemented at the
Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj, as one of the principle rituals. Ali ibn
Jafar said: I asked Imam Musa Kadhim (a.s), “Why is Ramy al-Jamarat
obligatory?” He answered: “Because the doomed Satan appeared in front of
Abraham in that spot and Abraham stoned him, therefore, this became a
ritual in Hajj.” (Bihar al-Anwar, chapter 96. page 273)
1Shi‟iee Muslims believe that the promised generation are Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), his daughter Fatima (a.s), the
groom
and his successor, Ali (a.s), Hassan (a.s) and Hussain (a.s) and the 9
children of Imam Hussain bin Ali, including the descendant who has the
same name as Prophet Muhammad (pbuh).
The Background of Obelisks Jamarat
means the place of aggregation of pebbles. Naming these columns (the
locations where Satan appeared) may have several reasons. One of the
reasons is that these columns were found on the spot which is the place
of aggregation of pebbles (by Abraham). The second reason may lie behind
the fact that these columns were made of pebbles and cement and
therefore were called jamarat.
Late Fazel Esfahani has
written in the book „Kashf ol Letham‟ on the interpretation of jamarat:
“Jamara is a column that is found or it is the place of this column.”
(Adapted from a new research about jamarat by Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi)
In
this event of Rami al-Jamarat, in exactly the same three spots where
Satan appeared before prophet Abraham, Muslims throw seven stones to
accompany the messenger of God symbolically.
"Rami al-Jamarat
is considered a symbol of evil and throwing pebbles at the columns is
known as a symbol of hating and disgusting Satan as it is said in the
prayer regarding the ritual: “Oh Almighty God, Keep Satan away from me!”
(Adapted from the book: Vasael o-Shia). Time and cause of origin of
these columns are unknown, but what is clearly known, is the very
similarity of these jamarats to the Obelisks. Obelisks are a series of
quadrilateral pyramid shapes and are called "the Devil column."
The
important fact is the antiquity that this symbol has in human history,
although it wasn‟t named Obelisk but it was named "Baal"2. The Holy
Qur'an (Sura Safat, verse 125) reads: "Do you call upon Baal and leave
the Best Creator?" Here, it is clear that they had an idol known as
"Baal" which they prostrated in front of it. Prophet Elias prevented
them from such an ugly deed, and invited them to the Great Creator of
the world and pure monotheism. It is said that the golden idol was so
big that its length was 20 cubits and was four-sided, and his crew were
over four hundred people. (Adapted from the book Tafsire Nemoone)
Elsewhere, in the book of the Torah (Old Testament, Kings, Chapter 17, verse 16), it reads:
"And
they left all the commandments of the LORD their God, and made them
molten images, even two calves, and made a grove, and worshipped all the
host of heaven, and served Baal".
But we must search for the big examples of this symbol in Egypt's religious centers and the
Kabalistic Pagan world. Obelisk was a symbol
of fertility among
Isis and Osiris, and as a result,
Horus, the Sun god3 was born. On the other
hand, it
symbolizes
the death and the dead world
because
Osiris was the god of the dead world and
revelation.

3In
some legends, it is believed that the obelisk is a beam of sun that was
turned into stone and it’s the place in which Horus rests.
Since
Zionists, Satanists, and other such groups‟ root of faith is Kabala and
since they hold Egypt as the origin of these teachings(they believe to
Jebt and idolatrous4), it led them to choose Obelisks as their main
symbol because of its central role in Ancient Egypt.
The
importance of this column is so widespread that in recent centuries,
hundreds of Obelisks were built around the world, including in countries
like America, Britain, Russia, Italy, Sweden, France, Scotland ,
Uruguay, Ireland, Pakistan, Singapore ,Argentina, Israel, New Zealand,
Venezuela, Brazil, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Bolivia,
Philippines, Canada, North Korea, Turkey and most recently, Azerbaijan.
The most famous Obelisk in the modern era, which is also the largest
Obelisk in recorded history, is the Obelisk commemorating George
Washington, first American president and a senior member of the Masonic
Lobbies, that was built in the nineteenth century in America
Protection of the Devil ColumnThe
idol Baal, which was worshiped by Pagans, is attacked each year in Hajj
by pebbles with hatred by Muslims. Hence, upon the Western domination‟s
orders, an Israeli architect named Norman Foster, with the cooperation
of Al Saud (leader of the Wahhabi sect) and under the pretext of
overcrowding, has built a wall around the columns of the devil to keep
the pebbles from hitting it. And virtually, monotheistic ritual of Hajj
in the world was stripped of this anti-Zionist and anti-Satan movement.
This act was a declaration of a new war by the Satan worshipers and the pioneers of Satanism, specifically the Zionists.
So it was necessary to act against this Satanist action. A group of young Iranians proceeded to burn
this satanic symbol to show the world that "the devil's plot is weak indeed5." And "there is no power except the power of God."
After
this move, in the summer of 2011, an earthquake caused a crack and a
three degree tilt to the world's largest Obelisk which is 169 meters and
located in the famous city of Washington .This made Iranians very happy
and made them stronger in this fight. It was as if God also had a
message for the worshippers of devil.
But really, why can‟t everyone dare to make such a move?Iran, the Real Freedom The
fact is that the Islamic Republic of Iran is the leader of pure Islam,
the main opponent of Zionism and its head, the terrorist state of
Israel. One reason for this disagreement with Zionists is that is has
usurped the land of Palestine. Israel, with its crimes and atrocities in
Palestine and other countries, is a clear example of human rights‟
violations.
All these crimes are happening while the
governments of Israel, America and England use the establishment of
peace and restoration of human rights in other countries as an excuse to
invade and exploit other countries.
These governments, led
by Israel, are the followers of Satan. They are using many different
ways to try to spread Satan‟s ideas in the world. This the main reason
for Iran‟s opposition against Israel.
4Sura Nisa, verse 51
5Sura Nesa verse 67
In
addition, many people around the world are not aware of the fact that
these governments - especially Israel – have the advantage of being
largely involved in the global media and big media giants in the world
and thus, can spread their satanic beliefs very easily.
Nobody
in any country dares to criticize them and if they ask any questions of
such kind, they will be ostracized. Among all countries, the
governments and people of Iran, due to their independence from these
governments and faith in the fact that their enemies are weak, stand
against oppression and tyranny, and accept the sanctions while relying
on Allah. And they are sure that if they help Allah, He will help them
and strengthen them. As a result of enduring of these sanctions, Iran is
the only country that has the true meaning of freedom of expression.
Israelis and ObelisksThe
Obelisk is actually the symbol of “New World Order", the same one that
was introduced by Jewish and Zionist Rockefeller and later was used by
Bush father and son, an event that they wanted to celebrate with overall
propaganda campaign in 2012 and as usual, failed to do so and lagged
behind the New World Order.
That was what happened in 1980,
but with the blessing of Iran's Islamic Revolution, it was postponed to
another year such as 2000 and 2007 and 2012.
What draws attention is the sanctity of Obelisks for governments like Israel, America and England.
All
the claims that Israel has on the land of Palestine and Jerusalem are
based on religious excuses. They consider themselves Jews and the
followers of Musa (AS) and want to cover up all their evil deeds using
this theory, and that‟s what the governments of Britain, America and
Saudi Arabia also follow.
But how can a Jewish, Christian or
Muslim who truly believes in his/her religion walk in the path of
Satan's purposes, the same Satan that God has declared to be His enemy?
Are these governments really what they claim to be?
