Interesting

As i was listening to the lecture today one of the points he brought up was very interesting. I never considered it at that angle but today it gave me a whole new view. At the time of the Prophet's migration from Makkah to Madina the tribes in Makka had plotted to kill him. The night of his migration Ali (AS) slept in the prophets bed  risking his life to save the Prophets life. Now according to history the Tribes of Makkah had decided to share the blamefor murdering the Prophet equally and hence there was one assassin from each tribe. They formed allies with each other taking equal responsibility for the crime they were going to commit. Does this ring a bell? We have just seen History repeat itself with the war in Iraq. Countries formed allies with each other in order to take equal blame for the atrocities they were going to commit. Now some people may not agree with me and say that the war on Iraq was to stop terrorism but even now after 6 years there war is still ongoing and every year on the day of Ashura (10th Muharram) Innocent people are killed traveling to the Shrine of Hussein. It just seems so interesting to me that even with all our technological advances we still live in the past.
