Al-Salamu Alaikum
Tomorrow is the 16th March. Let's go back 20 years ago, on the 16th March, 10:55 am, when the Iraqi air forces attacked Halabja, a Kurdish town in the north east of Iraq, using chemical weapons and poisonous gas.
In his book about attacking Halabja by Chemical weapon, Christine M. Gosden wrote, "I have recently witnessed the long-term effects of the chemical weapons attack on the large civilian population in Northern Iraq, in the town of Halabja. My experiences of the devastating power of these weapons have emphasized the importance of protecting individuals and nations against chemical and biological weapons attacks. This journey and the horrifying findings have shocked and devastated me to an extent that I had not believed possible."
About Halabja: Halabja was a beautiful Kurdish town in the north east of Iraq. Its population before the attacks was 80,000 people. Halabja has been always known as the centre of Islamic promotion, education, arts. The most well known Kurdish poets are from this area due to the natural scenery, mountainous area, green lands and wonderful rivers and gardens. Apart from poets, most of the Kurdish Islamic leaders are from the very area. For example, Mamosta Ali Abdul Aziz, the Islamic leader of Kurdistan Islamic Movement, is from Halabja. He found this Islamic party to generate the Islamic thinking and educate, and practice it in the life of the Kurds. Secondly, Slahaddin Muhammad Baha'ddin, the founder and General Secretary of Kurdistan Islamic Union, the greatest Kurdish Islamic party, is also from the same area. In Kurdistan when you say Islam, you remember Halabja, when you say Habaja, you remember Islam. Unfortunately, today when you say Halabja, you smell chemical and poisonous gas, which smells like apple and onion, as those survived describe....
It is unbelievable that in the matter of a few minutes 5000 civilians, all Muslim Sunni, were killed, and 1000s of other seriously wounded, 100s are still suffering from the effect of the chemical weapons. As an example, Ismail Abdullah Rashid was a person his chest and kidnies were affected by these weapons, and, after 20 years of suffering, on the 13th March, 2 days ago, passed away. The only way to survive was to be treated abroad, somewhere in Europe, but since he could not afford going abroad for treatment, he passed away, may Allah grant him with the paradise.
The person responsible for these chemical attacks is Ali Hasan Al-Majid, the former Ba'athist Iraqi Defense Minister and military commander, Who would be later called Chemical Ali by the Kurds.
Please take a look at the follwoing videos and test yourself whether you are shaken by the suffeing of other Muslim brotehrs and sisters or not!
