Victory of Imam Hossein (P) and his uprising against oppression inspired Islamic Awakening in Muslim countries, visiting religious leader of Rasul Hossein Mosque in Cairo said here Wednesday.     

 Sheikh Muhammad Hussain made the remarks in an exclusive interview with IRNA. 

“Imam Hossein (P) was seeking justice and the revolutionary people of Egypt gained victory by following his approach, the Egyptian scholar underlined. 

He noted that the enemies do their best to divide the Muslims; Muslim nations should consider their joint principles and thwart enemies’ hostile plots. 

“Coexistence of Sinni and Shi'a Muslims in the Islamic countries
 is a good example for brotherhood among people,” the official stated. 
Islamic Awakening is a revolutionary wave of demonstrations and protests occurring in the Muslim world that began on Saturday, 18 December 2010. To date, there have been revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt; a civil war in Libya resulting in the fall of its government; civil uprisings in Bahrain and Yemen, major protests in Algeria, Iraq, Jordan, Morocco, Oman and minor protests in Kuwait, Mauritania, Saudi Arabia and Western Sahara. 

The protests have shared techniques of civil resistance in sustained campaigns involving strikes, demonstrations, marches and rallies, as well as the use of social media to organize, communicate, and raise awareness in the face of state attempts at repression and Internet censorship. 

Many demonstrations have met violent responses from authorities as well as from pro-government militias and counter-demonstrators. A major slogan of the demonstrators in the Muslim world has been ash-shab yurid isqat an-nizam ('the people want to bring down the regime'). 

During this period of regional unrest, several leaders announced their intentions to step down at the end of their current terms. 

Hundreds of thousands of Bahrainis taking part in the 'March of Loyalty to Martyrs', honoring political dissidents killed by security forces, on 22 February. The protests began in Bahrain on 14 February and were largely peaceful, until a raid by police on the night of 17 February against protestors sleeping at the Pearl Roundabout in Manama, in which police killed three protestors. Following the deadly raid, the protestors' aims expanded to a call for the end of the monarchy. 

On 18 February, government forces opened fire on protesters, mourners, and news journalists, prompting protesters to begin calling for the overthrow of the Bahraini monarchy and government. On 19 February, protesters occupied Pearl Roundabout after the government ordered troops and police to withdraw. On 22 February, an estimated one hundred thousand people, one fifth of the nation's population, marched. On 14 March, at the request of the Crown Prince, GCC Saudi Arabian troops entered the country, and opened fire on the protesters, several of whom were killed. Later thousands of Shi'a protesters arose in Iraq and Qatif in opposition to the Saudi-led intervention in Bahrain. 

On September 17, New York City witnessed an unprecedented campaign against the US government's policies, when the “Occupy Wall Street” (OWS) protests began in opposition to social inequalities and top-level corruption as well as corporatism in the US. 

The movement has now spread to major US cities in spite of mass arrests and widespread crackdown by the police, as well as to other countries, including Australia, Britain, Germany, Italy, Spain, Ireland, and Portugal.
