Worshiping death, the destruction of infidels, and all the western countries

 

The act of raising infants symbolizes mothers' willingness to sacrifice their children for God and Imam Hussein, honoring the martyrdom of Ali Asghar. The ceremony originates from the Battle of Karbala, where Imam Hussein held his infant son aloft to request water, only for the baby to be killed by the enemy. 

Participants may display religious and political sentiments, such as chanting "death to America" and "death to Israel" and showing videos of Iran's missile program.The ceremony is held annually on the first Friday of the Islamic month. 

While centered in Iran, the "Hosseini Infants Gatherings" also take place in religious centers in 45 other countries. Mothers often dress their infants in special green and white clothing and headbands bearing the name of Ali al-Asghar, linking them to the historical martyr.
