- The universal application of Azadari, manifested in countless cultures and nations
- The common objective of new immigrants in new lands, to establish or find an outlet for azadari in their new land
- Cultural manifestations of azadari are all permissible provided they don't clash with the Shari' laws
- The concept of Remembrance Day, to commemmorate those who sacrificed their lives for their nations
- The red poppy is a cultural manifestation of remembering those before us, they weren't worn by soldiers etc. It is a method of commemmoration
- Symbolism and cultural practices are acceptable as long as they don't go against principles of Islam
- The family of Imam Hussain being led through one city after the other symbolized the height of atrocities of the Ummayid dynasty
- Their activities trickling down to their ideological ancestors
- When they know the Ahlul Bayt can be treated as such, ordinary people are considered as nothing
- Karbala isn't only history for us. We are able to draw lines from the people then, to present day, with their ideologies and actions reflecting their ancestors

"Some don't understand how religion manifests in cultural settings, they say we only want 'pure Azadari'. What does that even mean? It forms according to local norms and customs. This isn't a Shia issue, it is human psychology."
