Aidilfitri and Muslims divide... Posted: 18 Aug 2012 07:11 AM PDT In 1985, I celebrated Aidilfitri in Iraq's Shiite city of Karbala. For the spirit of Syawal, the Muslims - Shiite and Sunni - were united although Saddam Hussein did force the Shiite men to help him fought the war with Shiite Iran. The Iraqi Shiite soldiers were pushed up as the frontliners, forming barricades for the Sunni comrades. The Shiite hated him for that, and so were the Iranians. After the Eid prayer, the Shiites and the Sunnis would embrace and hug each other, before sectarian war started all over again a few days later. It saddened me, really. Back home, I observe a big split among the Muslims. However, its a political split. I wonder who will profit and take advantage of their ideological divide if it goes on and on... Anyway, SELAMAT HARI RAYA to all Malaysians.
