TEHRAN (IP) - Christian thinker, George Jordac, says Imam Hussain (AS) is not a character limited to a specific place, religion or people. He is the symbol of freedom for all Muslims and humans across the world.
George Jordac (1931-2014) is one of the Christian thinkers who is fascinated by the character, behavior and liberating movement of Imam Hussain (AS). Indeed, Hussain (AS) is an eternal truth that can introduce people to the highest concepts of life and be a light on the way to the path of virtuous life until reaching human perfection.
eorge Jordac, writes: “Yazid was the inheritor of all the evils of his predecessors and his evils were the most outrageous. The tyrant of Imam Hussain (AS) era, Yazid was drenched in every kind of evil and corruption that other evil and dishonorable men had. According to Yazid, his father Mu’awiya I had a collection of poisonous honey, but Yazid had an army of pure poison. No one was more deprived of human ethics than Yazid, the one who created the tragedy of Karbala.
In contrast, no one was more perfect in human nature than Hussain bin Ali (AS), who was martyred in that event. Yazid had all the henious and disgraceful traits; and on the other side, that is, Ali’s children, all were the exemplar of excellent and praiseworthy human qualities.
George Sam’an Jordac was born in 1931 in Lebanon in an Orthodox Christian family. His parents were Christians, but they loved the first Shia Imam, Imam Ali (AS). This love was displayed in their home with a sign posted on the door that read: “There is no chivalrous Soul like Ali, and there is no sword like Zulfikar.”
