You most likely are not familiar with this event, which was an infamous battle in the history of Islam. When the last of the Rightly Guided Caliphs's son, Hussein, was killed in an attempt to take the caliphate from Sunni forces, an event sparked and would create endless displays of violence afterwards. Since Shia Muslims consider Hussein to be an honored martyr, his sacrifice is celebrated each year on the holiday Ashura.
Not unexpectedly, Sunni Muslims do not agree with this celebration and so it is very often that on this day violence breaks out on the streets.
These are the kinds of insensible actions that we must put an end to.
