The Significance of Thursday

Thursday showed that the people of Iran are not going to be silenced and that they will continue their protest against the regime. There were horrible images of people being beaten for going to a cemetery to pray for the dead. The regime may be able to suppress protests, but they are losing support everyday. Every time the regime jails a cleric, kills a young Iranian, or does not allow for religious ceremonies to take place, it is losing the very religious moral and religious authority it needs to rule the country. The opposition is taking every opportunity to protest in order to further erode the regime and its ability to govern.

For more background on Thursday, here a previous post in which I explain the religious reason why people protested on the 40th day that people were killed.

Also here is a previous explanation to help you better understand why it is so important to celebrate the life of martyrs.
