In truth, it was those wicked men who fought Imam Husayn, peace be upon him; the Imam was only defending himself. They were so evil that they could not bear good and worthy people living in this world. They did not want God to be worshipped. They wanted our world to become satanic, filled with ugliness, corruption, oppression and sin. Imam Husayn stood in their way, and that is why they martyred him.
