16 September 1982

Just to remind our Muslim friends of this date 16 September 1982, it is the start of a biggest tragedy to Muslims in this modern world, I am sure many of us has forgotten... while the younger generations was not aware of the tragedy on this date... Most will only remember the September 11 in New York, but vaguely remember our unarmed Muslim Brothers and Sisters massacred by the Israeli-allied militia...

On this date the "Sabra and Shatila Massacre" took place

"...For 40 hours in September 1982, members of the Israeli-allied Lebanese Phalangist militia raped, killed, and injured a large number of unarmed civilians, mostly children, women and elderly people inside the encircled and sealed Sabra and Shatila camps. The estimate of victims varies between 700 (the official Israeli figure) to 3,500..."

I call to all Muslims who read this to say your prayers and Al-Fatihah dedicated to our slain brothers and sisters...
